optAER® Fine Bubble Aeration

The Nexom optAER system delivers an advanced, pond-based approach to wastewater treatment, suitable for a wide range of applications. Compared to traditional mechanical treatment plants, optAER’s enhanced lagoon process preserves the simplicity of a lagoon system while significantly reducing construction and operational costs.

Beyond cost savings, optAER systems are proven to consistently deliver high-quality effluent and meet stringent wastewater discharge standards. When combined with Nexom’s complementary lagoon-based upgrades—such as SAGR™ for post-lagoon nitrification and the MITA® Cloth Disk Filter for phosphorus removal—performance can be further optimized.

Additionally, the optAER process promotes effective sludge digestion, minimizing long-term solids buildup. This extends lagoon lifespan and reduces the frequency of de-sludging, ensuring long-term operational efficiency.
