About the project
Witnessing the water pollution in many regions of the country, His Majesty the King alleviates such problem by using an oxygen-enhancing device. Initially natural methods have been applied, but the problem became more severe. Therefore, the King ordered that a low-cost locally built water aeration device be developed, and that is the origin of a waste water treatment device known as the “Chaipattana aerator”.
Project administration
The Chaipattana aerator treats polluted water by enhancing the amount of oxygen to boost the function of bacterium in decomposing any organic matters in the water, clearing away the cause of deterioration. The aerator has been designed to allow the water to have some contact with the air. Each of its spraying paddles plunges into the water and lets it seep through the holes as the paddles rotate upwards into the air. Such rotation helps add the amount of oxygen and thus purify the water.
