Aeration for small treatment systems
Villages, hotels, schools, housing schemes and business parks with their own treatment system need the same thing as a large works: enough oxygen and mixing for the bacteria to treat the wastewater. Compact floating aerators add or top up aeration in small tanks and basins from 0.5 metres deep.

When does a small treatment system need more aeration?
- The load has grown, for example more houses, rooms or visitors
- Odour from a tank that is going septic
- Results drifting towards the licence limits
- Existing aeration has failed or is too small
Why floating aerators for small systems?
They install without emptying the tank, need no civil works, and are reached from the edge for checks. Units come in a range of sizes, so a small tank is not oversized.
What should I send with an enquiry?
- Tank or basin size and depth
- What it serves (houses, rooms, people)
- Power available nearby
- Any licence limits or recent results
