Figure 1:  In addition to the advantages highlighted above, the SDOX^TM system excels in terms of operating costs for target dissolved oxygen concentrations above 5 mg/L for the treatment of wastewater.   Due to the constraints of existing technologies, the bacterial degradation of wastewater at dissolved oxygen concentrations at higher concentrations have yet to be explored.  Because bacterial degradation is directly related to dissolved oxygen levels, the ability to operate at higher levels of dissolved oxygen using the SDOX^TM may substantially reduce processing time.

Figure 2:  In addition to the advantages highlighted above, the SDOX^TM system is less expensive in terms of operating costs for target dissolved oxygen concentrations from 5.5 mg/L to 8.5 mg/L for aquaculture applications.  The paddlewheel has long been considered the most economical oxygen delivery method.  However, the SDOX^TM system is shown to be more economical at DO levels above 5.5 mg/L and is expected to become the oxygen delivery method of choice for high-end aquaculture facilities such as trout and shrimp farms.  Although the U-Tube is competitive with the SDOX^TM System at target DO concentrations above 8.5 mg/L, the initial capital cost needed to excavate 60 feet below ground level that is required for installation of a U-tube makes the SDOX^TM system considerably more economical for most applications.

Figure 3:  In addition to the advantages highlighted above, the SDOX^TM system is less expensive in terms of operating costs for target dissolved oxygen concentrations from 5.5 mg/L to 30 mg/L for water quality applications.
