Aeration is an intensive supply of oxygen to waste water basins in biological waste water treatment plants for the purpose of enriching water with oxygen in order to facilitate water purification and in surface water tanks or reservoirs to prevent the formation of algae and pathological micro-organisms.

Aeration of wastewater and surface water is essential for the wastewater treatment process. In waste water, aeration activates biological processes in water to promote water oxidation and thus self-purification through active oxygen input.

The aeration method can also be used in urban ditches, ponds, canals and other surface waters to address or prevent eutrophication (increased growth and deaths of plants caused by increased chemical nutrients in the ecosystem) and thus minimise algal blooms.

This method can also be used to prevent oxygen levels in water below 5 mg O2/l, which would endanger the aquatic life cycle. Floating air blowers work on the surface of the water, so there’s no need for an expensive and elaborate system of collectors and injectors inside the tank, which simplifies the installation and significantly reduces the system’s overall project investment.
