Aeration & Mixing Equipment
How oxygen and mixing energy actually get into the basin.
Fine Bubble Diffusers
Produce small bubbles for efficient oxygen transfer, but require periodic cleaning to prevent fouling.
Surface Aerators
Mechanically splash water to entrain oxygen — simpler but less efficient than diffused air.
Submersible Mixers
Keep solids in suspension in anoxic or anaerobic zones without adding oxygen.
Instrumentation & Sensors
DO probes, turbidity meters, and flow meters that drive real-time process control.
Jet Aerators
Combine a pumped liquid jet with injected air to achieve high oxygen transfer in a compact footprint.
Coarse Bubble Diffusers
Simpler, lower-maintenance aeration used mainly for mixing rather than efficient oxygen transfer.
Blower Control Panels & PLCs
The automation layer that translates DO readings into real-time blower speed and valve position commands.
Aeration Basin Baffling & Zoning
Physical baffles that create distinct aerobic, anoxic, or anaerobic zones within a single basin footprint.
Mechanical Surface Mixers vs. Diffused Mixing
Choosing between mechanical mixers and coarse bubble diffusion for keeping anoxic and anaerobic zones suspended.
Aeration Energy Auditing
Systematic measurement of blower energy use against actual oxygen demand to identify savings opportunities.
