Product catalog summary
Surface Aerator (AS) Description:
The surface aerator consists of a gear motor directly coupled to an aeration impeller via a vertical shaft, ensuring smooth operation. The gear motor is designed to handle axial and radial forces from the water. The impeller is optimized for hydraulic efficiency, high oxygen supply, and reduced obstruction risk. In deep tanks, a suction pipe is necessary for water circulation.
Oxygen Supply:
  • Nominal Supply: Determined under conditions of pure water, 10°C temperature, 1001.1 hPa pressure, and 0 mg/l oxygen concentration, ranging from 2 to 3 kg O2/kWh.
  • Effective Supply: Influenced by wastewater quality, detergent levels, tank shape, hydraulic radius, impeller obstruction, salinity, and temperature. Practical values range from 2 to 2.2 kg O2/kWh.
Surface aerators supply and disperse oxygen, agitate water to mix sludge and wastewater, and prevent sedimentation. Water is drawn vertically and expelled radially, with oxygen supplied to the turbulent surface area.
Agitation:
Agitation prevents sedimentation, requiring a liquid speed of 15-20 cm/s at the tank bottom. Power needed depends on tank dimensions and shape, with a standard power-to-weight ratio of 25 W/m3.
Control:
Minimum power for agitation is calculated using 25 W/m3. Effective oxygenation capacity is 2 to 2.2 kg O2/kWh. The aerator should have a higher oxygen supply potential for contingencies. Oxygen supply is controlled by adjusting impeller immersion depth, rotation direction, and speed, ranging from 30 to 100% of nominal value.
Horizontal Rotor (RM):
This device features a horizontal shaft with rotating blades driven by a gear motor, injecting air into the water to supply oxygen and prevent sedimentation. Power and oxygen transfer depend on rotor length and operating depth. A control loop with a frequency adjuster can stabilize oxygen uptake rate.

Aeration-2

Consists of a gear motor coupled directly to an aeration impeller by means of a vertical shaft. The simplicity of this design ensures smooth Oxygen is supplied mainly to the turbulent area on the water surface. In this area, there is a constant renewal of the air-water exchange surface. Additionally, air bubbles are also intro- duced into the liquid in the tank and drawn The gear motor is designed to support the axial and radial forces generated by the water. The aeration impeller has been designed with an adequate profile for good hydraulic efficiency, high oxygen supply and to reduce the possibility...

Aeration-3

Calculation basis for surface The agitation should be sufficient to prevent sedimentation at the bottom of the tank. To ensure sufficient agitation, the speed of the liquid at the bottom should not be less than The power necessary to maintain this speed depends on the dimensions and shape of the tank (circular, square, sloping bottom, etc.). For standard tanks, sufficient agitation is achieved with a power-to-weight ratio of 25 W/m3. The oxygen supply of the surface aerator (AS) can be controlled by varying the immersion depth of the impeller and its direction of rotation a) Agitation. By applying...

Aeration-6

This is an aeration device with a horizontal shaft (parallel to the water surface). Rotating blades, fixed to the end of a round shaft driven by a gear motor, inject air into the body of water. This process supplies the water with oxygen and also prevents sedimentation thanks to the energy The power required and the amount of oxygen transferred depend on the length of the rotor and the depth atwhich it is operating. A control loop can be installed between the adjustable lock and the rotor (with a frequency adjuster) in order to establish an oxygen uptake rate and to keep it stable over time.
