Aerators
Aerators is a mechanical device used for aeration or mixing air with Water.
Theory of Operation – Aeration Mode
- Air is pressurized using a high efficiency regenerative blower
- Air is forced down the hollow shaft through Saturn Ring Diffuser
- The air is then sheered into fine bubbles, while the large mixing propeller forces the air in a downward direction
- This action dramatically extends bubble hang time and the pressure that the bubble is under, thus increasing oxygen transfer
- Allows for deeper tank configurations, thereby allowing a small footprint and less land required for the system

Compete separation of ‘Mixing Only’ and ‘Mixing / Aeration’ Modes means Dual Mode Operation
Conventional aeration systems only operate in aeration mode only, thus additional mixers are required for BNR Removal or denitrification
BNR possible with a single unit (ideal for SBR) which allows complete process control System
