Explore our patented mixing and aeration solutions specifically designed to effectively address odors, FOG, sludge, and more.
Efficient lagoon aeration and mixing have posed challenges for decades, impacting a wide range of industries. From municipal water and wastewater treatment to industrial and commercial applications, effective aeration is essential for maintaining system performance and compliance. Common challenges across these sectors include sludge buildup, persistent odors, limited equipment versatility, permit compliance, high maintenance and operational costs, stringent discharge regulations, cold weather complications, and safety concerns.
Numerous municipal, industrial, and commercial facilities face hurdles when it comes to managing the upkeep of wastewater lagoons and large water and wastewater treatment structures. Some of the biggest challenges are maintaining permit compliance, rising sludge management and energy costs.
Issues such as sludge buildup, unpleasant odors, algae proliferation, mixing difficulties, weather-related equipment malfunctions, and overall subpar performance of lagoons or large treatment structures can lead to increased operations and maintenance expenses.
The TITUS Twister-FL boasts a patented robust design and is crafted using high-quality, long-lasting components. It delivers reliable mixing and aeration capabilities suitable for various lagoon and large structure applications. The patented Twister-FL head seamlessly integrates with both new and existing blower systems, ensuring straightforward installation, operation, and maintenance.
Prioritizing safety, the system features no submerged moving parts, while all power, electrical, and blower components are located onshore. This means employees are not required to use boats in order to maintain the Twister-FL. Its tethering ropes allow it to be moved throughout the lagoon, and to be moved towards shore for maintenance.
Unlike submerged mechanical systems that require complex anchoring, in-water electrical components, or cranes for servicing, the Twister-FL is designed for quick and easy deployment. It is tethered loosely for controlled positioning and powered from shore, eliminating electrical hazards in the water and simplifying routine inspections or repositioning.
Because it has no moving parts in the water, the risk of mechanical failure or entanglement with solids is significantly reduced. This air-powered system is not only safer to install and maintain but also cuts down on maintenance costs and service time—making it a dependable, low-labor solution for long-term operation.
The Twister-FL is designed to aggressively mix and suspend solids throughout the treatment zone, helping prevent the formation of dense sludge layers that are common in lagoon and pond systems. This continuous vertical circulation reduces the likelihood of dead zones and keeps biosolids moving, promoting more complete treatment before reaching downstream processes.
By keeping materials in suspension, the aerator supports more efficient biological breakdown and minimizes the accumulation of sludge that would otherwise require costly removal. It’s an effective way to extend the operating life of your lagoon system while reducing long-term maintenance expenses tied to buildup and dredging.
Yes, it’s an excellent solution for off-grid or low-power locations. The Twister-FL operates on air power and uses no electrical components in the water, relying instead on a shore-based blower system. This reduces safety risks and makes it especially attractive for remote or rural operations where electrical access may be limited or expensive to extend.
Its simple deployment also means fewer site modifications are needed, and there’s no need for complex electrical grounding or waterproofing. Whether used seasonally or full-time, the Twister-FL offers high performance with minimal infrastructure requirements, making it a smart, scalable option for challenging sites.
