Jet and venturi systems combine a liquid pump with air to inject a high-momentum air–water plume deep into the tank. They give powerful mixing and good transfer in deep or odd-shaped basins where floor diffusers are impractical.
What this aeration technology is, where it fits, and the numbers that define it.
The faults that undermine this technology in the field, and the engineering response to each.
What you see: The jet weakens or stops as nozzles or the venturi throat clog.
What you see: Mixing looks strong but DO is low for the energy used.
What you see: The pump adds energy that diffusers do not.
For deep tanks, sludge holding and basins that cannot be drained for diffuser maintenance, pumped jet aeration delivers mixing and oxygen where simpler systems cannot reach.
Membrane disc/tube diffusers for high-efficiency oxygen transfer.
Mechanical surface and aspirating aerators for robust, retrofit duty.
Low-speed mixers that keep solids in suspension with or without air.
Blower selection and DO-based air control for energy efficiency.
SOTE, alpha factor and how to specify and verify aeration performance.
Our engineers size aeration on real oxygen demand, select the right technology for your tank and load, and verify performance by test — from diffusers to blowers and controls.
