Superoxygenation Technology for Water & Wastewater Treatment
Batta Environmental provides the design engineering, permitting, and environmental support behind Speece Cone®-based Superoxygenation systems — helping municipalities and industrial clients dissolve pure oxygen into water and wastewater for cleaner, lower-cost treatment outcomes.
Engineered for Efficiency, Durability & Simplicity
Every Superoxygenation installation is customized to site conditions. As the environmental engineering partner on these projects, Batta evaluates site hydraulics, permitting requirements, and long-term operational goals to ensure each system is sized and sited correctly from day one.
Designed to Deliver
- Stainless steel Superoxygenation cone with no moving parts
- Fully automated oxygen flow controls
- Side-stream pump as the only component requiring routine maintenance
- Flexible oxygen sourcing via on-site generation or liquid oxygen deliveries
By dissolving pure oxygen directly into water or wastewater, these systems eliminate the need for hazardous chemicals, lower operating costs, and deliver consistent, compliant results. Batta's role is to ensure that outcome is backed by sound engineering and a clean environmental record.
A Simple System, By Design
Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance and higher reliability. Batta's engineers work with clients to select and specify the right combination of components for each site.
Core Component
Speece Cone®
A hollow stainless steel unit with no moving parts and openings of at least four inches, eliminating clogging risk. Its simple design requires no maintenance, making it the most reliable component in the system.
Automation
Oxygen Flow Controls
Proprietary controls fully automate dosing for precise delivery, adjusting in real time to flow conditions to maximize efficiency and reduce operator involvement.
Maintenance
Side Stream Pump
The only moving part in the system, built for a long service life on a standard maintenance schedule, ensuring steady side-stream circulation through the cone.
Oxygen Source
On-Site Generation or LOX Delivery
On-site generators carry a higher initial cost but lower long-term operating expense. Liquid oxygen (LOX) deliveries require less upfront investment and are simple to implement. Batta helps clients weigh both paths against site-specific demand and budget.
Lower Costs, Fewer Chemicals, Consistent Results
Switching from traditional odor-control chemicals to Superoxygenation reduces operating costs and removes the need for hazardous chemical handling — a benefit Batta evaluates as part of every environmental and cost feasibility review.
- 20–50% lower operating costs compared to traditional chemicals
- No ongoing chemical deliveries or storage requirements
- No increase in sludge production
- More consistent H₂S reduction than chemical alternatives
Maximum Oxygen Transfer, Minimal Complexity
The compact cone design minimizes system footprint while eliminating the need for fine bubble diffusers or pressurized tanks.
Side-Stream Draw
Water or wastewater is pumped into the Speece Cone via the side-stream pump.
Oxygen Injection
Pure oxygen is metered into the cone through automated flow controls.
Rapid Dissolution
Counter-current flow inside the cone dissolves oxygen at high efficiency with no off-gassing.
Return & Distribution
Oxygen-rich water returns to the main flow, rapidly oxidizing sulfides and supporting aerobic treatment.
A Track Record Batta Stands Behind
From force mains to gravity systems and open water bodies, this technology has eliminated sulfides and improved water quality at installations worldwide for more than two decades — the kind of long-term performance data Batta relies on when recommending a design approach.
Performance Balanced with Environmental Responsibility
Engineered for long-term operational savings and ecological stewardship — principles central to Batta's approach on every project.
Eco-Friendly
Eliminates hazardous odor-control chemicals, reducing handling risk, deliveries, and disposal challenges.
Energy Efficient
High oxygen transfer efficiency achieves maximum results with less power, lowering the facility's carbon footprint.
Scalable
Compact, modular design fits tight spaces and expands with treatment needs, from small municipal to large industrial sites.
Proven Performance
Validated in real-world conditions across global installations, with a long track record of reliability and long-term value.
