MECHANICALSURFACE AERATOR

The Aire-O Turbo aerator is a float-ing, axial flow, surface impingementaerator/mixer/evaporative cooler. Wateris pumped to the surface by anArchimedes, double helix, screw-typeimpeller. The water is discharged at aright angle to the axis of the machine bycentrifugal force. A circular dispersionpattern is created where the dischargeimpinges on the water surface. Oxygenfrom the atmosphere is absorbed by thewater and biomass in this impingementdiameter.

A vertical or axial flow pattern for mix-ing and oxygen dispersion is created bythe pumping action and the suctionintake well below the surface of thewater.

Benefits of the aerator include: evap-orative cooling and extremely high oxy-gen transfer with 18 to 20 percent greateroxygen and mixing efficiency; and min-imal odors, misting, and icing problems.AERATION INDUSTRIESINTERNATIONALCircle 123 on Postage Free Card
