Would someone be able to get a hold of SAS and get an Aerob-a-jet, make
a brew of TEA and have it tested out in SFI? After two weeks of
continual effort, I still can not get someone to answer the phone in
SAS.

Lynton,
 
I don't think the micro bubbles accumulate like that. There is a
saturation point... just as there is for DO. From what I have read,
there is no evidence to support an endless accumulation of microbubbles
and therefore an overflow situation. Micro bubbles can stay in
suspension in water for a long time, but there is a physical limit that
is governed by water temperature, what is dissolved or suspended in the
water, atmospheric pressure, the size of the bubbles, and how many
bubbles are present. They stay in suspension because there isn't enough
force from the water around the bubbles to cause them to combine or rise
out of the solution. Why they stay in suspension has to do with water
tension that allows them to be suspended. As they reach a saturation
point, which is determined by the water tension needed to retain them,
they will come out of suspension because there isn't enough water
tension to allow them to stay in suspension. There's a very similar
thing that limits the amount of DO from the atmosphere that can
physically be present in water. Many of the same kind of variables
apply... water temperature, what is dissolved or suspended in the water,
atmospheric pressure, and the amount already in the water.

I think there is a difference between a sewage works and a CT brewing
tank: I assume one has a flow-through, the other one body of water that
remains. I think what Elaine was describing is what happens in the
latter case. If you keep pumping in more bubbles and they stay in
suspension then you get more and more air in the water ( in fact, unless
there is some wierd law operating at the 20 micron bubble size, I would
expect the container to overflow at some time).
2c from me,
Lynton
