Air Diffusers | Lake & Pond Aeration
Air-O-Lator manufactures a wide range of air diffusers. Our traditional ceramic airstone is very popular, especially for windmills but our latest rubber membrane diffusers are rapidly becoming a key component of most systems due to their self-cleaning maintenance free design.

The ceramic airstone works great for smaller ponds and lakes. It produces a stream of air bubbles to aerate your lake or pond from the bottom to the top. However, the rubber membrane diffuser is the latest technology and works well for larger, deeper ponds and lakes. It produces much smaller bubbles that remain intacted much higher in the air column. This allows the air bubbles to travel further from the membrane to provide more aeration for your pond or lake.
Diffused Aeration Process
Diffused Aeration Process
Aeration is used extensively for the biological (biochemical?) oxidation of both domestic and industrial organic wastes. In wastewater treatment, the function of aeration is to introduce air into the water through the most effective and least costly methods that will increase oxygen transfer (dissolved oxygen) in the wastewater.
Aeration to Maintain an Aerobic Condition
Diffused Aeration helps maintain an aerobic condition, with a basic purpose of improving water quality for subsequent reuse. Aeration can bring about the physical removal of taste- and odor-producing substances, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other volatiles and the chemical removal of metals (iron, manganese), gases (hydrogen sulfide), and other compounds (organics and inorganics) through oxidation and settling.
Mechanical Aerators
Mechanical aerator can either be submerged or surface designs, depending on whether certain systems require pure oxygen to be introduced from the aeration tank bottom.

- Horizontal Axis Aerators – spray water across wastewater surface to agitate water and to entrain air into the water
Diffused Aeration Devices
In diffused aeration, submerged devices release air or oxygen into the wastewater. As bubbles rise through the wastewater, (1) oxygen is transferred from a gaseous state to a liquid state – thus adding dissolved oxygen (DO) to the water and (2) they keep the microorganisms suspended, so they do not settle out. The longer these particles are suspended and maintain contact with the DO, the more waste solids they can consume and break down.
To achieve proper oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE), different devices can be added to wastewater treatment processing systems that will facilitate and control aeration. There are three types of diffused aeration systems; these are typically classified by the physical characteristics of the equipment. Please note that wastewater treatment systems may use one or more different types of aeration devices.
