Water Quality - Reservoirs, Lakes &
Rivers
ECO2 SuperOxygenation systems for
water and wastewater treatment are designed and produced
by ECO2
Oxygen Technologies, LLC, an independent company
headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The technology
is the pioneering effort of Dr. Richard Speece,
Centennial Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental
Engineering at Vanderbilt University, who invented the
Speece Cone, a device originally used to add oxygen to
the bottom of lakes to enhance downstream fisheries.
The Speece Cone is part of
ECO2's innovative SuperOxygenation
system now in use across the country solving lake and
river oxygenation, industrial and municipal water
problems. ECO2 systems are an economical
method of supplementing the oxygen in impaired lakes and
rivers and meeting Dissolved Oxygen discharge compliance
requirements.
Conventional aeration systems
elevate D.O., but at prohibitively high energy costs and
with limits to the D.O. boost that can be achieved. The
ECO2 SuperOxygenation system
achieves D.O. concentrations of 40 to 150 mg/l with 90%
oxygen absorption efficiency. With this system, it is
now possible to pull a small sidestream from a river or
lake, superoxygenate it and dilute it back into the main
river or lake to satisfy D.O. deficiencies without
treating the entire body of water.
The ECO2
SuperOxygenation system can be installed in a small
footprint, in a lift station, adjacent to an effluent
tank, above or below water lines or even mounted on
barges which can then be moved wherever and whenever
needed. The flexibility and efficiency of the ECO2 system make it the technology of choice
for meeting D.O. discharge requirements and aiding in
the recovery of impaired rivers and lakes. The ECO2 SuperOxygenation
system, a simple process with no chemicals and no moving
parts other than standard industrial water pumps results
in a robust, reliable, flexible, economically
competitive and environmentally-friendly green
technology.
