DO injection system tests released May 5, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District has released results of tests of the dissolved oxygen (DO) injection system for the Savannah harbor deepening project.
According to the Corps, the tests of the DO injection system prove that the multi-million-dollar apparatus successfully mitigates for the reduction in DO in the Savannah River due to the current deepening project.
USACE Savannah District office stated the two-location system can place the required average of 40,000 pounds a day of pure oxygen into the river, according to a recently published report. The pure oxygen dissolves completely in raw river water, and then gets discharged back into the bottom of the river. Diffusers deep under the surface ensure the super-oxygenated water mixes well horizontally and vertically, with virtually no oxygen lost from the water surface into the atmosphere.
3 Nowadays superheroes are everywhere, part of today’s pop culture. Many focused on keeping the planet safe from destruction either from a villain or other force. For Frank Cerio, a Southwestern Division Environmental Program Manager, inspiration came from the early 1990’s environmental superhero, Captain Planet.
The elemental warrior was summoned by the combined powers of a diverse team of “Planeteers” to defend earth from pollution.
“I wanted to be Captain Planet. Obviously without the green hair, blue skin and red spandex,” said the Canastota, N.Y. native. “All joking aside, growing up on a farm really instilled a sense of environmental stewardship through conservation, sustainability and restoration in me.”
