Where each diffuser sits — in plan, and in height above the bed — is not a layout choice. It is the output of a large body of physics. Place it correctly and you mix the entire water column with no scour; place it wrongly and you resuspend sediment, release internal phosphorus, iron and manganese, and waste air.
Release height set so near-bed shear stays below the sediment’s critical erosion threshold.
Every device resolved individually — never a single basin-average.
Built on the surveyed depth–area–volume model of your water body.
Full mixing with no scour, no resuspension, no internal-loading pulse.
The same diffuser hardware can fully destratify a reservoir — or scour its bed and re-release the very contaminants you are trying to control — depending purely on where it is placed and how high it sits above the sediment. We do not lay diffusers on a uniform grid and hope. Every device is positioned in three dimensions, computed from the physics of your specific water body: its bathymetry, sediment, stratification, biology and climate.
Chosen so neighbouring plumes tile the basin continuously — no dead zones, and no wasteful over-overlap.
Set per device so the rising plume mixes the column while near-bed shear stays under the local sediment’s critical erosion stress.
Local depth, substrate, plume overlap and shore proximity are resolved for each diffuser individually.
A single diffuser’s position is the resolved answer to dozens of interacting physical, sediment, biological and environmental factors. The full set we weigh includes:
Every factor above is resolved continuously, around the clock, for the live conditions of your water body. The specific models and calibration that combine them are proprietary.
Overlapping plumes tile the basin so the entire water column is destratified — no dead zones.
Near-bed shear held below the critical erosion threshold — the sediment is not disturbed.
Because the bed is undisturbed, the internal phosphorus, iron and manganese pulse never starts.
Every diffuser placed where it does the most work, so no air — or energy — is wasted.
Send us your bathymetry, summer temperature profiles and raw-water quality data and we will return a position-aware layout — every diffuser placed and set to height.
