A scientist at the U.S. Tainio Co., Ltd. suggests that in natural water the water molecules are linked with hydrogen ions,and this inpedes the absorption of oxygen from air into water. He developed a device to create an alternative electrostatic field in water to cause vibration of the molecules and break the link between water molecules and hydrogen ions. He has convinced this will enhance aeration that is a key process in biological treatment of wastewaters and rehabilitation of polluted surface waters such as rivers and lakes. But field tests have not reached an affirmative result. Is his idea correct?
