Abstract :
The purpose of aeration process are for removal methane (CH4), removal
carbondioxide (CO2), removal HS2, removal odors and taste, also removal other
gases. But, at the reality the purpose of aeration increase dissolved oxygen
concentration in the water and equipment used is aerator. The aeration used is
cascade aerator remove CO2 at least than the other aerator model. The purpose
of this experiment for know large of oxygen transfer at cascade aerator
combination spray aerator model. This experiment used cascade aerator are from
3 step variable cascade distance between 10 cm until 50 cm. Above the pipe
cascade posted spray so that make water smooth bubbles which down in every
cascade can binded more oxygen, so result of the value of oxygen transfer more
higher. Beside taht, rate of flow used in this experiment also variation range 1300
ml/mn to 2200 ml/mn. Experiment result indicated that the best of DO value when
height between cascade 50 cm with rate of flow 2200 ml/mn is 7,29 mg/lt and KLa
(oksigen transfer) value is 0,94.
Key word : cascade aerator, DO, oxygen transfer
