Aqua-Lator High Speen Surface Aerators

Typical MooringArrangementsAeratorAccessoriesSHORE MOORINGMost common mooring arrangement.Shore end connection is made toeyebolt or embedded anchor.LOW TRAJECTORY DIFFUSERThis fiberglass ring is bolted to thetop of the discharge cone to lowerthe aerator spray pattern. In colderclimates, this will help reduce thewindblown spray and minimize icing.ANTI-ICE DIFFUSERThis cast aluminum ring is bolted tothe top of the discharge cone tominimize ice build-up. The ringcontains heating cable and rangesfrom 1000 to 5000 watts, based onthe horsepower of the aerator. Theanti-ice diffuser is equipped with anintegral junction box which containsthe automatic thermostat. The anti-icediffuser requires its own 2-conductorelectrical power cable for operation.RESTRAINED MOORINGFor applications with large variationsin water level. A triangular frame withthree rings is attached to the float.These rings, which are removableU-bolts, fit around three posts,permitting the unit to slide up anddown the posts with varying waterlevels.ANTI-EROSION ASSEMBLYThe anti-erosion assembly consists ofa standard intake cone with anintegral plate, sized for that particularhorsepower. These antierosionassemblies are available in stainlesssteel or epoxy coated steel. Thisassembly causes water to be drawnfrom the sides, rather than fromdirectly below the aerator, thushelping to prevent bottom erosionthat can sometimes occur in earthenbasins. These assemblies are also usedto prevent disturbance of the sludgeblanket in facultative lagoon systems.DRAFT TUBEThe draft tube is simply an extensionof the intake cone to allow for adeeper intake of water in specificcustomer applications to promotecomplete oxygen dispersion andsolids suspension. Draft tubes areavailable in stainless steel or epoxycoatedsteel. Deep basins, in whichthe depth is more than 1.5 times thelength of the shortest wall, mayrequire anti-vortex precautions whendraft tubes are used.13
