Greener Planet Solutions has had an amazing track record of providing economic solutions to difficult problems. Our most recent offering, the GPS PrO2 series offers an efficient way of delivering concentrated levels of oxygen that are able to remain dissolved in waste water. This blanket of oxygen has proven to be an amazingly efficient means of combating many of the problems that traditionally exist in waste water. Furthermore, it utilizes far less energy that traditional means of aeration.
Aeration is a technology that has been used to treat waste water for centuries, and this process is still used in the majority of waste water treatment system across the world. Using energy inefficient technology such as large blowers is one method to delivery air into the waste water system. The other problem is that air is only 20% oxygen and once the air is introduced it simply bubbles out, giving the microorganism’s very little chance to use the oxygen that is being delivered. The GPS PrO2 technology delivers pure dissolved oxygen into the waste stream through patented technology at the nano-level where the oxygen stays until consumed controlled levels of off gassing.
Aerobic digestion is a bacterial process occurring in the presence of oxygen. Under aerobic conditions, bacteria rapidly consume organic matter and convert it into carbon dioxide. The operating costs used to be characteristically much greater for aerobic digestion because of the energy used by the blowers, pumps and motors needed to add oxygen to the process. The GPS PrO2 however can deliver highly concentrated levels of oxygen into the wastestream for only a fraction of the energy consumption used by any other aeration technology…up to 70% less than standard blowers.
What separates the GPS PrO2 technology from other technologies is ability to place oxygen into the waste stream. The dissolved oxygen that is created through our patent pending technology enters the waste stream like a cloud and remains in the zones that you place it in. The GPS PrO2 can place oxygen into zones and at depths where it’s readily available to be consumed by the microorganisms that will use the oxygen to multiply into colonies which will rapidly devour the organic waste that is available in the waste stream. We do this by using multiple controlled bubble sizes. This includes bubbles designed to separate, some designed to stay in solution, and others that are micro-sized to feed micro-organisms. It’s this effective delivery system that allows our technology to achieve amazing results in reduction of Total Suspended Solids (up to 75%), COD & BOD (up to 97%), Ammonia and Phosphorus (up to 75%).
The cost savings that are associated with this technology simply on the energy efficiency justifies the GPS PrO2 as the most effective way to deliver oxygen into the waste stream, but it’s the ability to dramatically reduce the solids and other chemicals in the waste stream that make this technology a no-brainer.
