This standard describes three specific categories of aeration systems: Diffused Air, Jet Aeration, and Mechanical Surface Aeration. Additional categories may be added to future versions of this standard.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide a minimum set of requirements for aeration systems for biological wastewater treatment. This standard is intended to assist with the design, procurement, installation, and commissioning of aeration systems.
