THE MYSTERIOUS ALPHA FACTOR
• Alpha is variable with time and along the process, not a constant
• Fine-pore diffusers: 0.2 – 0.6
• Fine-bubbles from jets: 0.5 – 0.7
• Coarse bubbles: 0.5 – 0.7
• Different alpha with different loads
• When bubbles coalesce in sludge, alpha drops for all diffusers
• Alpha is site-specific and should not be guessed

Summary
• Oxygen transfer efficiency and the alpha factor are dynamic!
• Fine-pore diffusers have the highest efficiency but also the highest pressure drop
• Fouling is an inevitable plight of fine-pore diffusers: clean them or don’t buy them
• Coarse bubbles have high alpha and low SOTE, fine-bubbles vice versa
• α is dynamic and is a function of the bubble, not of the make/model of the aeration system
• In-situ measurements most accurately quantify the necessary design values
• Third-party verification is paramount
