Industry Application
Aerators Mixers And Sludge Pumps For Treatment Works
Sewage plant equipment fails for two reasons: it blocks, or it cannot put enough oxygen into the basin. The aerators, mixers and lobe pumps on this page are built for exactly those two jobs.
What Goes Wrong On This Duty
Pumps block on rag and fibre
Screened sewage still carries rag, hair and fibre. A rubber lobe pump passes it because the flow path is short and wide and the rotors do not touch.
Oxygen transfer is too low
Coarse bubbles rise and burst without transferring much oxygen. Fine dispersion at around 100 microns puts far more surface area into the same volume of air.
Solids settle in the corners of the basin
Dead zones reduce working volume and produce odour. Submersible mixers keep the whole basin moving.
What Buyers Ask For
- Equipment that can be lifted for service without draining the basin
- Pumps that run dry occasionally without destroying themselves
- Aeration that does not need a blower house and an air main
- Wear parts that a site team can change in place
- Materials that survive grit and sulphide
Recommended Equipment
Aeration Mixing And Sludge Handling In One Range
Aerators and mixers sit in the basin. Lobe and progressing cavity pumps move what settles out of it.

View specifications →Typical Scenarios
Where The Equipment Sits
Activated Sludge Basins
Oxygen supply and mixing in the aeration tank, including pre-aeration and sludge stabilisation stages.
Sludge Transfer And Dewatering Feed
Moving thickened sludge to a belt press or centrifuge at a steady, low pulsation rate.
Balancing And Anoxic Zones
Mixing without aeration, where oxygen would work against the process.
How We Work
How A Treatment Works Order Runs
Basin Data
Volume, depth, shape and organic load. That is what sizes aeration, not the pump catalogue.
Equipment Layout
Number of units and their placement, fixed or floating, with lifting and guide rail arrangements.
Build And Test
Units are assembled and tested at the works, with the motor and cable arrangement matched to the site supply.
Install And Support
Installation guidance, commissioning and spares held against the model number.
Delivery
What You Get With The Order
- Aerators supplied with the air pipe arrangement and mounting
- Fixed floor mounting or float mounting to suit basin depth
- Lobe pump wear parts replaceable in place without moving pipework
- Operation and maintenance manual with service intervals
- Spares for rotors, seals, wear plates and impellers
Answers
Wastewater And Sewage FAQ
How many aerators does a basin need?
It follows the oxygen demand and the basin geometry. Send volume, depth and load in kilograms of BOD per day and we will propose a number and a layout.
Can the aerator be serviced without draining the tank?
Yes, where a guide rail and lifting arrangement is fitted. Specify it with the order because retrofitting it later means working in a full basin.
Which pump handles dewatered sludge?
Rubber lobe pumps for sludge with rag and fibre, progressing cavity pumps where viscosity is high and flow must be steady.
Do the pumps run in both directions?
The rubber lobe pump is reversible without restriction, which is how blockages are cleared without opening the line.
What suction lift is possible?
The lobe and progressing cavity pumps are self priming to a maximum of 8.5 metres, subject to the suction line layout.

Those three numbers size the aeration. Add the sludge dry solids and we will size the pump with it.
