Aeration systems
The Biomixer Aeration & Mixing System is a fine bubble diffused aeration system for any size basin or lagoon. The system typically can be installed in one day, without any civil work or basin draining in activated sludge tanks, lagoons, aerobic digesters, oxidation ditches and SBRs. Its diffusers rotate for improved mixing and DO transfer. In addition, they automatically raise or lower to maintain a constant DO level and save energy.
