A mixing apparatus in the form of an aerator for location within a body of water to be remediated by oxygenating the water, including an inlet through which water is pumped into the aerator, the inlet includes a branched distributor in which the inlet divides into four equal branches for forming four equal flow paths for the water. Each of the four equal pathways is provided with an air injector in the form of a venturi for introducing air into the water flow path in order to aerate the water. The advantage of the aerator is that the distributor is designed to have balanced flow so that equal flows of water pass through each flow path to introduce equal volumes of air, which increases the efficiency of the aerator. Forms of the aerator can have two or more distributors in which all individual flow paths are substantially equal to improve the efficiency of the aerator. |
