I have random information about aeration scattered across my wastewater blog pages but I've been getting questions from people who need details, just as I often do. Trying to find the aeration information I need is proving to be both inefficient and time consuming. Therefore, I thought it is now time to group specific aeration information in one place. Though this post may still seem a bit on the random side, at least the aeration data will be together, greatly improving search efforts.
