aeration

listen to the pronunciation of aeration
English - English
The process by which air is circulated through or mixed with a substance such as soil or a liquid
The process where air and water are mixed This may be in the form of bubbling air into water, or letting water fall through the air The process is usually used to increase the oxygen concentrations in water The efficiency of aeration equipment is determined by the amount of surface area interface between the water and air and the energy required to produce that interface A summary of the devices used and their corresponding efficiencies is shown in the table It is also used for other processes such as degassing, mixing and destratification
The process of mixing air and water In a spa this can happen two ways: 1) Using an Air Blower to force air into an air channel or through the spa jets 2) With Venturi Air Controls which allow air to be pulled into and mixed with the water in the spa jet
The process of pulling small plugs (about ½" wide and 3" long) from the turf to relieve compacted soil and allow water and nutrients to reach roots Back to alphabetical list
A physical water treatment involving the addition of air to water The process is used to control taste and odour, and to remove dissolved iron
a process used in wastewater treatment that promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process can be passive (waste is exposed to air), or active (a mixing or bubbling device introduces oxygen)
the act of charging a liquid with a gas making it effervescent the process of exposing to air (so as to purify)
Supplying soil and roots with air or oxygen
The process of adding air to a water supply for the purpose of oxidation Aeration is frequently used to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide
The process of letting a wine "breathe"
{i} process of charging a liquid with a gas; process of exposing to the effect of air (as in oxygenating blood)
The process of letting a wine "breathe" in the open air by swirling the wine in a glass, which can soften young, tannic wines
Any active or passive process by which intimate contact between air and liquid is assured, generally by spraying liquid in the air, bubbling air through water, or mechanical agitation of the liquid to promote surface absorption of air
A process which promotes biological degradation of organic waste The process may be passive or active
the mixing or turbulent exposure of water to air and oxgen to dissipate volatile contaminants and other pollutants into the air
The mixing or turbulent exposure of water to air and oxygen to dissipate volatile contaminants and other pollutants into the air
This is the process of trying to drive more oxygen (air) into the wine, usually done through decanting, double decanting, or vigorous swirling in the glass This can be very helpful for young wines but can also be very harmful to older, more mature wines Merely allowing the wine to BREATHE is usually considered less invasive
the act of charging a liquid with a gas making it effervescent
The process by which air in the soil is replaced by air from the atmosphere The rate of aeration depends largely upon the volume of pores in the soil
The process of exposing compost material to air
The process of introducing (dissolving) air into wort or beer Aeration of chilled wort at yeast pitching time is desirable, because yeast need oxygen to reproduce Aeration of wort or beer at any other time in the brewing or fermenting process is generally considered to be bad, since it can cause oxidation, which leads to stale flavors
Any active or passive process by which intimate contact between air and liquid are assured, generally by spraying liquid in the air, bubbling air through water, or mechanical agitation of the liquid to promote surface absorption of air
A process of supplying or introducing air/oxygen into a medium which promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process may be passive (as when waste is exposed to air), or active (as when a mixing or bubbling device introduces the air)
Making contact between air and a liquid by spraying liquid into the air or by agitating the liquid to promote absorption of air Also act of fluffing molding sand
bringing about the contact of the compost with air through turning, or ventilating to allow microbial aerobic metabolism
A technique by which air is introduced into a liquid, bubbles and aerosols are generated, and dissolved gases are released For example, water aerated by passage through a shower head will release dissolved radon gas
the process of exposing to air (so as to purify)
A process which promotes biological degradation of organic matter in water The process may be passive (as when waste is exposed to air), or active (as when a mixing or bubbling device introduces the air)
getting oxygen into the compost by mixing or turning
The process or method of bringing about intimate contact between air and a liquid
aeration zone
A portion of the lithosphere in which the functional interstices of permeable rock or earth are not filled by water under hydrostatic pressure
aeration zones
plural form of aeration zone
aeration tank
A chamber used to inject air into water
aeration tank
the first stage of secondary treatment of wastewater Here, sewage is mixed with air and bacteria so that any organic material is broken down
aeration tank
a chamber used to inject oxygen into wastewater during treatment
aeration tank
Serves as a chamber for injecting air into water
aerate
{v} to impregnate or saturate with carbonic acid or fixed air
aerate
To supply oxygen or air
aerate
To supply or charge a liquid or body of water with a gas, as to expose a body of water to the circulation of air for purification
aerate
To dissolve air in a liquid
aerate
to add air to water or to the pores in soil It adds oxygen and allows other gases trapped in the water to escape
aerate
impregnate, combine, or supply with oxygen; "oxygenate blood"
aerate
To dissolve air in a liquid The introduction of air into a mixture through agitation The only time this is good in brewing is when you pour the chilled water into the primary fermenter The wort should never be aerated
aerate
To aerate a substance means to cause air or gas to pass through it. Aerate the soil by spiking with a fork. = oxygenate. to put a gas or air into a liquid or into soil (aer , from )
aerate
Aeration is a process that relieves soil compaction and increases water and air movement throughout the soil Thatch is stimulated to decompose when a lawn is aerated
aerate
aerate (sewage) so as to favor the growth of organisms that decompose organic matter
aerate
To saturate with atmospheric air or oxygen into solution
aerate
expose to fresh air; "aerate your old sneakers"
aerate
To allow or promote exchange of soil gases with atmospheric gases
aerate
To impregnate with gas, usually air
aerate
{f} charge a liquid with a gas; expose to the effect of air (as in to oxygenate blood); air out, expose to fresh air; (Nautical) charge air and oxygen into livewells to keep fish alive
aerate
Aerate means the same as "sift " To pass dry ingredients through a fine-mesh sifter so large pieces can be removed The process also incorporates air to make ingredients like flour, lighter
aerate
In brewing practice, to forcibly introduce air or pure oxygen into wort to facilitate yeast growth
aerate
<)))
aerate
This refers to a manual process whereby an air stream is blown onto paper sheets to create a riffling effect that separates the sheets as they are fed to the printing press
