An aerator pump is a pump used to pump air into a liquid. They are mainly used to supply air to microorganisms in liquids in the aeration process of sewage treatment, a process that uses aerobic microorganisms. The effect is not simply to transport air, but to make it more easily dissolve into the liquid to be treated by compressing the air more. Many products mix the air with water before blowing it out to create micro bubbles, which allow the oxygen to dissolve more easily into the liquid as the bubbles gently rise.
Aerator pumps are used in sewage treatment facilities, industrial waste treatment facilities, and sewage treatment facilities. Aeration pumps are one of the components of an aeration tank that treat sewage and other materials using aerobic microorganisms. They play an important role in supplying oxygen to the aeration tank.
When selecting aerator pumps, it is necessary to consider the discharge volume, pressure at discharge, the range of agitation, the depth of water to be handled, power consumption, and size. Many products have motor parts that can be used underwater, which may require fewer countermeasures against noise.
This section describes the principle of the operation of aerator pumps. An aerator pump consists of an air inlet, a compression section, an agitation section, and a blowout. All the parts, except the suction inlet, are often installed underwater. The compression section uses an impeller, blower, or compressor, and a 3-phase power supply is commonly used. In the agitation section, measures are taken to prevent clogging due to sewage by means of highly confidential seals and sealed structures.
During operation, air is sucked in through the inlet port by an impeller or similar device rotating at high speed in the compression section. At that time, the air pressure is compressed to a value higher than the water pressure. The deeper the water, the greater the number of rotations and design of the impeller, etc. required to compress the air. The compressed air is then agitated in the agitator section using a feather plate to create minute bubbles. The air is then blown out through the air outlet. The air outlet is often tapered, allowing the pump to supply air over a wider area while blowing in a single direction.
