The patent pending Airy-Gator Treatment System was developed to circulate millions of gallons of water per day in directed flows. The treatment platform provides a method to introduce additives or media to remediate and improve water quality.

The Airy-Gator system is a proven approach and can effectively be used to: - Aid in the decomposition of organics - Reduce eutrophication - Destratify the water column - Revive benthic community - Improves aquatic habitat - Reduce odor - Facilitate additional treatment capabilities

The Airy-Gator treatment platform provides a method to introduce additives or media to remediate and improve water quality.

Applications to improve water quality include: • Lakes

• Private/public ponds

• Municipal & industrial wastewater treatment facilities

• Reservoirs

• Stormwater retention basins

• Canals

• Agricultural lagoons

• Marinas • Contaminated containment areas

Design and Operation The Airy-Gator is a floating treatment platform that consists of five urethane disks mounted on a horizontal motorized shaft. The lower portion of the disks are immersed in the water column. As the disks rotate, water is circulated and facilitates destratification, which is key to maintaining a healthy, vibrant aquatic environment.

This system is unique because it forces directional laminar flow, circulating large volumes of water at a rate of roughly an acre-foot per hour. Directional configuration may allow the systems’ circulation effects to be multiplied – as water is moved downstream from the system, upstream water moves to replace it – creating circulation that exceeds the direct pumping rate of the system.

Performance Report Battelle performed an assessment of restoration alternatives on Grand Lake St. Mary’s in Ohio.

Results of testing and evaluation found that the circulation from the Airy Gator was found up to 200-300 ft. from the system and that additional systems should be installed at strategic locations around the lake.
