Operation Introduction Step 1. Aeration Operation Service Cycle In the service cycle, raw water enters the inlet port of the aeration tank and is directed through the inlet diffuser. The oxidation process begins when the water passes through the inlet diffuser and cascades through a head of air. This air/ water contact oxidizes the iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide in the water. The water is directed toward the bottom of the tank and travels through the pick- up tube. It then passes through t

Shuttle Valve Operation In the service position, water pressure holds the shuttle valve piston in the closed position, trapping the airhead in the aeration tank and closes the air recharge inlet port and drain port. During air recharge cycle, air pressure is greater than the water pressure and forces the shuttle valve piston in the open piston. The shuttle valve has an internal pressure relief valve that will relieve pressure (greater than 100 psi) that may build up in the aeration tank. Thi
