Powerful Mixing Performance. Lower Energy Consumption.
The AiroFloTM Floating Directional Mixer (FDM), now part of EDI’s Aerators & Mixers portfolio, is engineered to deliver efficient basin mixing, directional flow, and process optimization across a wide range of wastewater treatment applications. Designed to move large volumes of water with low horsepower requirements, the FDM helps facilities improve treatment performance while minimizing energy consumption.
By combining high pumping capacity with targeted hydraulic circulation, AiroFlo® Floating Directional Mixers provide an effective solution for biological treatment processes where mixing, solids suspension, and flow management are critical.
Key Benefits
- High pumping rates with low energy requirements
- Strong directional flow for improved basin circulation
- Reduced operating costs through efficient mixing
- Simplified installation with a floating platform design
- Durable construction for long-term reliability
- Easy access for maintenance and service
Applications
Anoxic Basin Mixing: Maintain solids suspension and promote process stability for biological nutrient removal and denitrification applications.
Aeration System Enhancement: Improve hydraulic circulation in treatment processes where mixing requirements exceed aeration demands, helping maximize overall system performance.
Lagoons and Large Basins: Enhance lagoon performance by improving circulation, minimizing dead zones, reducing short-circuiting, and helping prevent sludge accumulation and floating debris buildup.
Designed for Lagoon Performance
The AiroFlo® Floating Directional Mixer is particularly effective in lagoon and large-basin applications where consistent circulation is essential for treatment performance.
