Aerator Solutions

What Aerator Solutions does

Aerator Solutions designs, manufactures, and distributes aeration and mixing equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, operating from Roscoe, Illinois as a subsidiary of Komline since 2024. The company's portfolio centers on five core product lines: EcoJet high-speed floating aerators and DDM mixers (the original 1963 design platform, 2-75HP), the patented BlueFrog hybrid aerator (3HP), SCM submersible aerator/mixers (distributed exclusively in North America under an agreement with the Australian manufacturer), and the ASPIRO/ASPIRO Plus aspirating aerator/mixers (2-100HP, manufactured in Australia and exported globally). Supporting the core equipment are the Better Than New refurbishment and EcoFurbished pre-owned programs, plus an aftermarket parts business whose components are 100% interchangeable with competitor systems including Aqua-Jet, US Filter, Siemens, Welles Products, Evoqua, and Aqua-Lator.

The business model is primarily hardware sales with quote-based pricing that varies by model, horsepower (2HP to 100HP), and material of construction (stainless steel, fiberglass, custom combinations). A recurring aftermarket parts and refurbishment revenue stream is anchored by the cross-brand interchangeability of components, which gives Aerator Solutions a natural upgrade path into competitor installed bases and creates downstream service revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at municipal wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities in pulp and paper, food and beverage, and petrochemical segments, supplemented by WEFTEC and Georgia Rural Water Show participation, a downloadable literature library, YouTube product demonstrations, and a direct website channel.

The company sells to two primary verticals: municipal wastewater treatment (post-aeration, aerated lagoons, activated sludge, equalization basins) and industrial wastewater treatment (severe-duty applications with corrosion resistance and high-strength waste handling), with sludge processing as a secondary use case. Geographic reach is global via direct sales in the US and exclusive distribution arrangements for the Australian-made SCM and ASPIRO product lines, with thousands of units installed worldwide. Following the 2024 Komline acquisition, the company continues to operate under the Aerator Solutions brand while leveraging parent-company scale and capabilities.
