Galletta-Aerator:

The Galletta-Aerator is a new type of aerator based on the principles of Henry’s Law. Henry’s Law states At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.

Designed, patented and built by Robby Galletta of Savannah GA, the Galletta-Aerator has been developed for the purpose of treating hypoxia or oxygen depletion in water that has been depleted by natural means or by man made stresses in sewage treatment plants, rivers, lakes, reservoirs or ponds.

Testing has proven to be effective in a waste water treatment plant utilizing 12 traditional aerators. Each of the standard aerators utilize a 20hp electric motor creating a very large electric bill for the treatment facility. The Galletta-Aerator was able to take the place of 5 standard aerators and complete the task of oxygenating the water in 1/10 of the time. The implications of adopting this new method of aeration will save municipalities and treatment facilities millions of dollars.
