Improving Energy Expenditures

If you need a new aerator for your wastewater, you need to choose the right type. There are several types of wastewater aerators to choose from. If your wastewater system includes a lagoon, a surface aerator is your best option. If you're not sure a surface aerator is right for your wastewater system, read the list provided below. Here are four reasons to choose a surface aerator for your wastewater system.  

They're Easy to Install

If you want to save time and money on the installation, choose a surface aerator. One of the benefits of a surface aerator is that it doesn't need any subsurface mounting. You also don't need to drain any cells before installing a surface aerator. Because of that, you'll save time and money on the installation. That means you can reduce downtime for your wastewater system.  

They're Versatile

If you run a wastewater treatment system, you need an aerator that's versatile. That's where a surface aerator comes into the picture. One of the great things about a surface aerator is that it works well in a variety of conditions. Surface aerators work well in shallow water. This is a benefit when you're aerating ponds and lagoons. If you're worried about surfactants, a surface aerator is the way to go. Surfactants can interfere with some aerators. Surface aerators don't have that problem. They can aerate your wastewater without interacting with surfactants. 

They're Movable

Does your wastewater system include more than one location? If it does, you need an aerator that's portable. This is especially true if you move your aerator to different locations. That's where a surface aerator becomes beneficial. As stated earlier, surface aerators don't need secured mounting. That means they can get picked up and moved wherever you need them. This mobility can save you a lot of money. That's because you don't need to buy extra aerators. 

They're Durable

Is your wastewater system gets exposed to extreme conditions? If it is, you need the right aerator. Extreme conditions can damage some aerators. That's why you need to invest in a surface aerator. Surface aerators work well in corrosive water. But, they also work well in rough terrain. That means you won't need to replace your aerator as often. 

If you need a new wastewater aerator, make sure you choose the right type. Before you buy an aerator, talk to your wastewater system service provider to learn more about surface aerators.
