Types of aerators
Turbine Aerators
Turbine aerators are also called as propeller diffuse aerators. A turbine aerator is basically a submerged propeller. Rather than injecting air into water it is simply a device that increases the circulation in the pond or tank, which results in greater surface aeration. A turbine aerator consists of a rotating hollow shaft attached to an electric motor. A diffuser and a propeller (impeller) are located at one end of the shaft and are submerged. The unit is supported at the water surface with a float assembly so that a hole in the opposite end of the shaft near motor remains above the water surface.
