LOW ENERGY RE-AERATION & CIRCULATION

SURFACE ASPIR ATING AER ATOR

TORNADO

SOLAR

Powerful and reliable, self-aspirating

surface TORNADO aerators are used
to upgrade lagoon systems and expand
the treatment capacity of mechanical
wastewater treatment plants.

LumenAER

Circulates oxygen deficient water to the surface for rapid re-oxygenation

Designed for wastewater and freshwater applications
Reduces algae growth, odor, sludge, permit violations
Rugged, stainless steel construction
365 day operation despite severe freezing and other adverse conditions

Shallow Ponds

4-10 feet (1-3 meters)

The LumenAERTM is an ideal solution for accelerating and adding

consistent treatment to facultative waste water applications. The
circulation technology expands and increases oxygen concentrations in
the upper 2/3rds of the pond, thereby creating an aerobic cap which
does the following: 1) improves digestion of soluble BOD, 2) accelerates
digestion of semi-soluble BOD, and 3) stimulates digestion of solids.

The LumenAERTM continually recycles and de-stratifies

reservoirs, lakes and deep ponds simultaneously from
multiple depths. The circulation technology restores oxygen
to the lower levels, which does the following: 1) improves
water quality, 2) promotes a healthy ecosystem
top-to-bottom, 3) increases clarity, 4) lowers pH, 5) lowers
temperature and 6) limits taste and odor concerns.
