Petrochemical industry client
"Just to let you know, the tank mixer we installed is still operating and working extremely well… we haven't had to enter the tank to clean it since it was installed and is scheduled for its routine inspection next year!"
Chemical industry client
"Your jet mixers are working better than anticipated! We have not had to enter tank 7 since your jet mixer was installed… 5 years ago, we went from annual cleanings to potentially having it on 5-year intervals or more! The eddy mixers we installed on tanks 11 & 12 are..."
Industrial manufacturing client
"I am very pleased with the results I see. For the most part the EQ tank is self-neutralizing. That is the main goal of the EQ tank's mixing system. There are few instances when the tank gets to >70% full and hasn't neutralized and chemicals must be added."
Food & Beverage client
"I just spoke to our Manager who has been intimate with the project operation, he stated confidently that all is running really well with the Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station (TDPS) mixing equipment / flushing nozzles."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aeration lagoon?
An aeration lagoon is a shallow wastewater treatment basin that uses mechanical or diffused aeration to supply oxygen for biological treatment. These lagoons rely on aerobic bacteria to break down organic matter, requiring consistent oxygen distribution throughout the basin for effective treatment performance.
Should I aerate my lagoon?
Yes, if your lagoon experiences odor issues, poor treatment performance, or excessive sludge buildup. Proper aeration maintains aerobic conditions, prevents odors, improves effluent quality, and reduces sludge accumulation. Modern jet aeration systems can upgrade existing lagoons cost-effectively while achieving significant energy savings.
How much energy can jet aeration systems save compared to conventional methods?
Jet aeration systems can achieve energy reductions of up to 40% compared to conventional diffused air methods. This is accomplished through superior oxygen transfer efficiency utilizing multiple transfer zones and extended gas-liquid contact time from horizontal plume injection.
What maintenance is required for lagoon aeration systems?
Our jet aeration systems require minimal maintenance because all mechanical assemblies are positioned outside the basin for easy access. Optional pneumatic backflush systems eliminate clogging concerns. With no in-basin moving parts, systems operate virtually maintenance-free with routine inspections of external pumps and blowers.
Can jet aeration systems work in existing municipal lagoons?
Absolutely. Jet aeration systems are easier and less expensive to install than comparable diffused aeration systems, making them ideal for retrofitting existing lagoons. Systems come in prefabricated sections for straightforward assembly without extensive basin modifications.
What size lagoons can your aeration systems handle?
Our systems accommodate lagoons and basins of virtually any size. Individual Eddy Mix Jet Aerators suit circular basins up to 65 feet in diameter, while multiple units can be configured for larger installations. Directional systems work effectively in oxidation ditches and rectangular lagoons of all dimensions.
How do jet aerators prevent icing problems in cold climates?
Because all aeration and mixing occurs below the surface with no surface spray or mist, jet aerators eliminate icing problems entirely. The system also prevents thermal stratification that can lead to ice formation, making them ideal for municipalities in regions experiencing freezing temperatures.
What is the expected lifespan of a lagoon aeration system?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, jet aeration systems provide decades of reliable service. Our systems feature durable construction with corrosion-resistant materials, and the absence of in-basin moving parts significantly extends operational life compared to mechanical aerators.
