Surface Aerators

Surface aerators are a practical, proven solution for oxygen transfer and mixing in wastewater treatment basins, equalization tanks, and lagoons. By drawing air at the water surface and dispersing it into the liquid while creating strong circulation, surface aerators help maintain stable dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and prevent solids from settling.

At PMC Engineering, we supply surface aerators designed for continuous industrial operation, with robust mechanical construction, easy maintenance access, and options suitable for both municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Whether your priority is process stability, energy efficiency, or simple installation, our surface aerator range provides a reliable aeration method with straightforward mechanical design.

Where Surface Aerators Fit Best

Surface aerators are commonly selected when you need:

  • Effective mixing + aeration with a single machine

  • A compact solution for existing concrete basins (retrofits)

  • Aeration for lagoons / open tanks where diffuser systems may be difficult

  • Quick installation with minimal pipework

Key Benefits & Features

Process performance
• Provides oxygen transfer and bulk mixing simultaneously
• Promotes uniform DO distribution and reduces dead zones
• Helps keep solids in suspension (supports stable biological treatment)

Mechanical design
• Heavy-duty drive assembly built for 24/7 operation
• Corrosion-resistant wet-end materials available (depending on wastewater characteristics)
• Reliable sealing and bearing arrangement for long service life
• Designed for easy inspection and maintenance with standard tools

Operation & control
• Compatible with VFD (inverter) control for DO-based energy saving
• Stable operation across varying water levels (depending on mounting type)
• Suitable for automation integration (PLC/SCADA) with standard instrumentation

Typical selection parameters (varies by model)
• Motor power range: multiple sizes available (selected by basin volume and oxygen demand)
• Installation: bridge-mounted / fixed frame / floating (optional)
• Electrical: 50 Hz / 60 Hz options, industrial protection classes on request

If you share your basin dimensions and process targets, we can size the unit(s) and provide a selection sheet with expected oxygen transfer and mixing performance.

To match different site conditions and treatment requirements, the following options can be supplied:

Mounting & installation
• Fixed bridge or frame mounting for concrete tanks
• Floating mounting (ideal for lagoons and variable water levels)
• Guide and positioning accessories (as required)

Materials & coatings
• Stainless steel wet-end options (e.g., SS304 / SS316) depending on corrosion risk
• Protective coatings for aggressive environments

Electrical & instrumentation
• VFD-ready motors and control philosophy support
• Local control panel or MCC integration support
• Cable, junction box, and field accessories as needed

Spare parts & service
• Recommended spare parts kit (wear parts + critical items)
• Start-up support and commissioning guidance (optional)
