What Jaeger Aeration does
Jaeger Aeration (legal entity Gummi Jaeger Aeration LLC) is a Longmont, Colorado-based specialty manufacturing and engineering firm that designs, produces, and supplies fine-bubble membrane aeration systems for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The company was founded in 1973 as the inventor of the Membrane Air Diffuser Disc and has continuously evolved its product line through the OxyDisc (9-inch disc diffuser), OxyTube (1m and 2m tube diffusers), and OxyStrip (strip diffuser with industry-maximum 8:1 turn-down) families, alongside the OxyLift retrievable rack system that enables diffuser maintenance in approximately 2 minutes without tank drainage, the OxyProcess BNR (biological nutrient removal) system targeting 35-65% energy reduction versus mechanical aeration, and adjacent products including OxyPod (lagoon aeration), OxyMix/Dual Air Control, and BioCube (biofilm attached-growth systems).
The company monetizes primarily through direct B2B sales of custom-engineered aeration systems, complete process equipment, and proprietary components to municipal wastewater utilities and industrial clients, with projects documented across Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, and more recently the UK and Ireland via a distribution partnership with Eliquo Hydrok. Pricing is project-based with no public list pricing disclosed, and contract wins include multi-million dollar scope projects (e.g., the Hays KS 2.5 MGD installation documented as $6 million less than the alternative aerator solution, and the Marshall MO 3 MGD 100%-retrievable system). Marketing relies on WEFTEC trade show presence, a Vimeo video library of case studies and diffuser demonstrations, LinkedIn presence, and an extensive technical literature/FAQ corpus on its website.
The business serves a global Microporous Aerator market estimated at $675 million in 2025 and projected to reach $887 million by 2032 (4.0% CAGR per QY Research Inc.), and has accumulated industry recognition including the 2023 WWD Top 5 WWTP Nationwide and Plant of the Year awards for the City of Farmington, Missouri project. Jaeger Aeration operates with 11-50 employees, remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, and is led as a family-style specialty manufacturer without disclosed parent company, M&A activity, or public listing.

Jaeger Aeration competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Veolia Water Technologies: Global environmental services and water technology provider offering municipal and industrial wastewater solutions including aeration, biological treatment, and digital monitoring. Competes on large bundled municipal contracts where Jaeger cannot match scope.
- Xylem: Global water technology giant owning Sanitaire, Flygt, Wedeco, and other aeration and pumping brands. Competes with Jaeger on integrated municipal water RFPs across the US and globally, with significantly broader portfolio and service capabilities.
- Evoqua Water Technologies: Major US-headquartered water and wastewater treatment provider offering aeration, filtration, disinfection, and service across municipal and industrial markets. Now part of Xylem but historically a direct competitor on aeration equipment and lifecycle service contracts.
Direct peers
- Landia: Landia manufactures mixers, aerators, and pumping equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, including submersible mixers and jet aeration. Overlaps Jaeger's lagoon (OxyPod) and mixing/aeration product lines.
