Vortex Force™ Aerator for Sewer Odour & Corrosion Control
The Vortex Force is a specially designed aeration device that draws in and powerfully mixes air into sewage flow, transforming the anaerobic conditions that produce odors and oxidizing the HS and other odor producing compounds in the sewage flow. By dramatically increasing the dissolved oxygen (DO) content in the sewage flow, the benefits of the Vortex Force extend for a long distance downstream. |

The upper vortex directs the flow in a clockwise direction while the lower vortex is counter-clockwise. VORTEX DROP SHAFT The two flows intersect at the drop pipe, creating an area of intense turbulence and mixing where air is drawn in to the device. The turbulence breaks up the air into extremely small bubbles, thus maximizing the surface area of the air in contact with the water, allowing oxygen to quickly diffuse into the flow. ENERGY DISSIPATION POOL The flow is then discharged to the energy dissipation pool where any air not dissolved into the flow is allowed to bubble out of the flow, and the energy of the discharge is dissipated. TYPICAL PROJECT FLOW FOR A VORTEX FLOW INSERT STEP 1: FLOW RATE Determine the peak flow rate of your system. STEP 2: DROP HEIGHT Determine the drop height. To operate effectively, a Vortex Force requires a minimum 3ft drop. STEP 3: SIZE SELECTION After determining the flow rate of your system, select the size of unit that is best suited to the installation. If your flow falls outside the specified range, call us at 1-800-463-9572 for custom options. STEP 4: SHIPMENT & INSTALLATION Once the order has been placed, the Vortex will be shipped to the jobsite along with a full set of detailed installation instructions.
