Surfair

OPERATION
The Surfair is a direct-drive floating impeller pump type aerator. It's simple
design is based around a screw-type auger impeller rotating at speed within
an enclosed tube. This allows for the lifting of large quantities of liquid
through the tube that are then directed out over the surface of a basin or tank
in a flat splash pattern to mix and aerate the contents.
The Surfair can be designed to operate from quite shallow to very deep
vessels by use of a varying length extension to the pump tube that can draw
the intake liquid from any depth within reason.

MIXING
The Surfair is a 'circular zone' type of surface aerator, that is one that mixes
from the centre of the unit outwards in a radial fashion. This feature makes the
Surfair ideal for mixing circular basins such as tanks or other basins that require
higher power to volume installations.

EVAPORATIVE COOLING CAPABILITY

Given the large pumped volume of liquid contacting the surrounding
atmosphere that is generated by an operating Surfair unit, there can be a
significant advantage in installing these units in applications that require
cooling of their water or wastewater as part of their process aims.

SOLIDS HANDLING CAPABILITY

The nature of the impeller on a surfair unit allows for the passing of larger,
ragging type solids that exist in some older treatment plants (particularly in
municipal applications) - this makes the surfair a good choice for renovation of
existing plants that may have ragging problems.

SIZE RANGE
The Surfair units range in size from 2.2 kW right up to 55 kW so can be used
across a myriad of applications. The units are mounted on an integral float ring
typically manufactured in foam filled fiberglass (stainless steel optional), and
can be supplied with varying length intake pump tube extensions for varying
depths. Anchoring and cabling information are available upon request.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on the Surfair is inexpensive and extremely simple. It can be
carried out in the field for the most part by unskilled personnel, with little plant
downtime experienced.
