Dissolved oxygen content is a paramount indicator of water quality. The quality of water and its remediation are directly linked to the dissolved oxygen concentration within it. A higher dissolved oxygen level signifies better water quality. Aeration processes are employed to enhance dissolved oxygen levels in water treatment. Aeration is achieved through natural methods or hydraulic structures that increase the interfacial area between water and air. This study investigates the aeration efficiencies of pressurized flow systems equipped with Venturi devices of two different orifice diameters connected to four distinct manifold pipe systems. The findings indicate that the orifice diameters of these hydraulic structures (Venturi devices) significantly influence aeration efficiency.
