This method covers the measurement of
the Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR) as a mass
of oxygen per unit time dissolved in a volume
of water by an oxygen transfer system
operating under given gas rate and power
conditions. Methods for measurement of
gas rate and power are also described in the
Annexes A and B, respectively. The method
is applicable to laboratory-scale oxygenation
devices with small volumes of water as
well as the full-scale system with water volumes
typical of those found in the activated
sludge wastewater treatment process. The
procedure is valid for a wide variety of mixing
conditions.
