Inline Treatment

Theia offers a unique solution which can aerate and mix any flow of water while it is still in the pipe.  This design is effective on gravity or pressurized flow but is not designed for high pressure forced mains.  (We offer a different design for those applications.)

The system takes in a slip stream of the main flow and pumps it through our Oxygenator nozzle.  We offer an innovative design that allows us to do this without a storage tank or pump station.    As the water passes through the nozzle, any oxygen deficient compounds such as Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulfide, etc is directly oxidized.  The water passing through the nozzle is supersaturated with oxygen which is then imparted to the main stream when the water is reinjected.  The pipe section includes a thorough mixing chamber designed for the flow, the pipe and the application.  The dissolved oxygen level in the main pipe reaches saturation while all oxygen deficient compounds inside the pipe are also directly oxidized.

The system can be equipped with a chemical and polymer injection section which introduces, activates and thoroughly mixes precipitating agents or coagulants to allow the solids and metals in the water to be either filtered or settled in the next step.

Theia’s Icarus system can be used to bring up the pH of the water as well as add alkalinity.  This step can be performed in line as well without any chemical storage tanks or mixing equipment.

Theia’s inline treatment system is ideal for high flow applications such as Stormwater Treatment and Acid Mine Drainage.
