Line 3. Application of acoustic/ultrasonic technlogies to wastewater treatments
The optical techniques are commonly accepted technologies for the study of the distribution and size of bubbles in gas-liquid reactors. However, such techniques are not longer viable under the circumstances where the walls of the reactor or the solution are opaque. Hence, the acoustic techniques are being considered a feasible technology to overcome these special situations.
Moreover, the acoustic technologies are alternative methods for transfering mechanical energy to reactors. Our purpose in this field is to develop processes that improve the wastewater treatments either enhancing the gas transfer process or improving the process as a result of the interaction of the acoustic wave with the biomass floc.
