Overview of LIXOR® Submerged Aeration System
LIXOR® is an efficient submerged aeration and mixing system designed for wastewater applications. It features a non-clogging, Venturi-type diffuser that provides simultaneous aeration and mixing, making it suitable for pre-aeration, aeration, sweetening, and mixing processes. The system is low-maintenance and cost-effective.

Importance of Aeration in Wastewater Treatment
Aeration is crucial in wastewater treatment as it dissolves oxygen into water, enabling aerobic bacteria to biodegrade organic matter, thus reducing pollutants.

System Design and Flexibility
The LIXOR system is designed for reliable aeration and mixing. It can be installed in new or existing basins and is equipped with a regenerative blower, the only moving part. This design offers flexibility in wastewater system design and upgrades.

Operational Mechanism
1. An above-ground blower pumps air to the submerged LIXOR diffuser.
2. The Venturi chamber breaks the air into smaller bubbles.
3. Increased velocity creates a vacuum, pulling in surrounding liquids.
4. This results in a turbulent plume that transfers oxygen and creates mixing patterns.
5. LIXOR can be used with other systems like HightstrengthFAST® and BioBarrier HSMBR®.

Certifications
LIXOR is certified by Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL), C.E.-European Electrical Systems, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
