Mechanical aerators for lagoons

September 21, 2016

One of the best-known options for lagoon aeration is a floating mechanical aerator like the Tornado from Fluence (formerly RWL Water). These operate on the principle that air can be induced to enter a submerged tube, where it can be broken apart by the shear of a small propeller to create small bubbles with a useful amount of surface area over which oxygen can be transferred into the water.

The Tornado aerator is grease-lubricated for a long and reliable service life, and uses premium-efficiency motors for low operating costs. They come with a variety of options for ease of installation and performance, including floats, erosion shields, and low-level legs. For even better oxygen transfer, optional blowers are available.
