1AECOM, Denver, Colorado, USA.
Summary
Over-designed blowers at a high-elevation water facility were evaluated using off-gas analysis. Findings show blower upgrades may not be cost-effective due to energy costs and uneven tank loading.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Engineering
- Wastewater Treatment Technologies
Background:
- A high-elevation water resource recovery facility (WRRF) faced challenges with over-designed aeration blowers.
- Site-specific energy costs significantly influence the economic viability of equipment upgrades.

Assessment of Diffusion and Perfusion
916
Understanding and evaluating diffusion and perfusion is critical in assessing a patient's respiratory and circulatory health. These processes play key roles in maintaining the body's internal environment, ensuring that tissues receive adequate oxygen while waste products are efficiently removed.
The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this...

Flame Photometry: Overview
487
Flame photometry, also known as flame emission spectrometry, is a technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements present in a sample using a flame as the source of excitation energy. The concept of flame photometry was realized in the early 1860s by Kirchhoff and Bunsen, who discovered that specific elements emit characteristic radiation when excited in flames. The first instrument developed for this purpose was used to measure sodium (Na) in plant ash using a Bunsen...
