Aeration & Mixing Systems

Aeration Systems

Tideflex Aeration Systems are engineered to improve oxygen transfer and mixing in wastewater and industrial treatment processes. Built around Tideflex Check Valve technology, these systems provide reliable ‘on/off’ oxygen flow, with zero clogging, fluid backflow, or fouling (fouling, common issues with traditional diffuser methods). A maintenance-free system is essential in these applications, and greatly appreciated by service crews ;)

Flow Smarter, Diffuse Better

Systems are available in multiple configurations to match specific applications. Coarse bubble aeration delivers aggressive mixing, ideal for sludge stabilization and high-solids basins. Fine bubble aeration provides enhanced oxygen transfer, commonly used in activated sludge systems and aerobic digesters. Custom manifold designs and flexible diffuser valves allow airflow control across varied tank geometries and process demands.

Finely Tuned Bubbles

Tideflex Aeration Systems are trusted in municipal wastewater, pulp and paper, chemical processing, and petrochemical facilities. They are often selected for challenging environments where traditional diffusers fall short. With fewer failure points and lower operational costs, these systems offer a proven, long-term solution for reliable aeration and mixing.

Mixing Systems

Tideflex Mixing Systems solve mixing challenges in storage tanks and process systems using a maintenance-free, hydraulic approach. Built around patented duckbill check valves, these systems use internal pressure differentials to drive circulation and eliminate stagnation. With no mechanical components, they minimize downtime while supporting consistent chemical distribution, temperature balance, and fluid homogeneity.

Stir Less, Mix More

Powered entirely by hydraulic energy, Tideflex mixers promote unidirectional flow that prevents backflow, sediment buildup, and thermal layering. The elastomer duckbill design adapts to changing flow rates and fluid densities without losing performance. Unlike mechanical agitators, these systems maintain mixing across a wide range of operating conditions, from chemical storage to large wastewater tanks.

Better Mixing, No Moving Parts

Tideflex mixers are a go-to solution for potable water reservoirs, sludge processing, wastewater treatment, and chemical storage. Their simple design, long service life, and low operational demands make them a trusted alternative to mechanical systems. For end users focused on reliable process control and reduced maintenance, Tideflex Mixing Systems are a proven choice.

Effluent Diffuser Systems

Tideflex Effluent Diffuser Systems are designed to disperse treated effluent into receiving waters with controlled dilution and minimal environmental impact. Using elastomeric duckbill check valves, these systems deliver reliable, maintenance-free performance without clogging or backflow. Built for challenging conditions, they maintain consistent dispersion and support compliance with regulatory discharge limits.

The Last Step Done Right

At the core of each system is the patented Tideflex duckbill valve. These elastomeric valves flex open with discharge pressure and seal tight when flow stops, preventing intrusion, sediment buildup, and reverse flow. Passive hydraulic operation eliminates the need for external power, while multi-port diffuser configurations enhance mixing and ensure even dispersion in rivers, oceans, and estuaries.

Made for the Long Haul

Tideflex Effluent Diffuser Systems are widely used for wastewater plants, industrial discharges, and stormwater outfalls. Their simple, non-mechanical design offers long service life with minimal maintenance. For operators focused on long-term performance, consistent dispersion, and easier regulatory compliance, Tideflex offers a smart, proven alternative to traditional diffuser systems.
