The book is about the discovery of a Standard Specific Baseline Mass Transfer Coefficient (K L a 0 ) 20 that represents a revolutionary change in the understanding, designing, and operation of aeration equipment, as well as providing a baseline for future research and development for water and wastewater treatment systems. It discusses the use of the Standard Model for oxygen transfer to... Read more

Biography

Johnny Lee graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering in 1978. He was a drainage engineer in England for many years, designing surface water and sanitary sewer systems in large drainage projects. He is currently an independent researcher and a member of the Oxygen Transfer Standards Committee in the US. He has numerous publications on Mass Transfer Coefficient and Gas Solubility, and is active in upgrading the standards for oxygen transfer.
