Heathland Group were contacted by Great Yarmouth Borough Council to design and install a bespoke diffused aerator system. This was for the newly renovated Venetian Waterways in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk to provide waterway aeration.
For this aeration project, our design team determined a solution. To ensure the entire waterbody received maximum levels of aeration, a 24 single-disc AirPro Diffuser System was installed. The compressor enclosure for the diffused aeration system was installed by the main boating area. This allowed the team to run over 1000m of underground airline around the bank of the waterways. Therefore limiting the amount of weighted pipeline required.
The team installed the underground airline around the bank to the different areas in which the diffusers would be situated. This allowed them to connect the weighted airline at the closest position possible to the diffusers. The 24 single-disc diffusers were distributed and installed within the waterways in the appropriate positions. Ensuring the entire waterbody received high levels of aeration, increasing the dissolved oxygen level and improving the waterways ecological balance.
Our team chose a diffused rather than a surface aeration system because of the number of twists and narrow canals the Venetian Waterways incorporates. A waterbody like this would have minimal wind disturbance and dead spots throughout where there would be virtually no water movement.
Diffused aerations systems mix the water column from the bed of the waterbody to the surface. This eliminates the effects of thermal stratification where the warmer oxygen-rich water on the surface is separated from the cooler oxygen-deficient layer on the bottom. The layer is called the thermocline. The density difference of the thermocline stops the two layers from mixing. By aerating from the waterbed to the surface, the diffused aerations system breaks up these layers. Therefore allowing any noxious gases that may be trapped on the lower layer to be released. The movement of the water on the surface also increases the surface area of the waterbody allowing higher levels of natural aeration to occur.

I have an OxiAir Shallow 900 pump with 5 diffuser plates and I love it. It's almost silent, it fizzes oxygen into my lake in a subtle but visible way and Heathland have been super helpful every time I have had a question. I can't recommend them enough and I know the pump will transform my lake, especially in the hot summer months (I am in Charente in France).

Sometimes the lack of power available means a specialist aeration system is required and with the rising energy costs, there is no better option than a solar-powered subsurface aeration system to help keep monthly energy costs down. Heathland Group’s research and development team have engineered the most efficient solar aeration system available on today’s global market.
The OxiAir HD diffused lake aerator is designed and developed with depth in mind. These diffused lake aerators can aerate your lake in depths up to 10m+. The super silent bankside compressor pumps air through the diffuser membranes situated on the lake bed. This diffused aeration system has been designed and manufactured by our team here in the UK.

Wastewater aeration is a crucial process in the treatment of contaminated water, where air is intentionally introduced into the wastewater to facilitate the growth and activity of aerobic microorganisms. This method harnesses the power of oxygen to support the metabolic processes of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that thrive in oxygen-rich environments.

Large water fountains for lakes are a popular feature that adds aesthetic appeal and enhances the visual experience of a lake. These fountains are designed to create impressive displays of water jets, patterns, and sometimes synchronized lighting effects. They can be installed in both natural and curated...
Heathland Fountains and Aerators were contacted by a domestic client in Essex for a quote in May 2019. The client has a lake on his property where he required a floating lake fountain for aeration. Fountain lighting to create a stunning evening garden display also formed part of the client brief.
Here at Heathland Group, we offer two types of lake aeration, diffused aeration, and floating aeration to help you efficiently aerate your lake. A diffused aerator pumps air through the diffuser membranes, which then travels to the surface in the form of millions of tiny bubbles...
