Compressed Air Filters used for an Aeration System on Lake Matthews in California

Recently one of our F200 Series Compressed Air Filters was installed on an aeration system manifold. Water aeration is the process of increasing or maintaining oxygen saturation. It can remove dissolved gasses and oxidizes metals such as iron. Aeration is commonly used in ponds, lakes and other water reservoirs to address oxygen levels or algal bloom.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has a water aeration system installed for Lake Matthews. This aeration manifold  supplies air from two rotary screw compressors through a Van Air System Compressed Air F200-800 Series Filter to the diffuser units. Each diffuser unit is comprised of 300 orifice heads and is the size of a 59" Buick.
