The invention is an improved surface aeration impeller for use in a liquid filled tank which particularly increases the surface turbulence and the entrainment of gas into the liquid surface. The impeller is an axial floor impeller and may be either a pitched blade turbine (PBT) or have airfoil shaped blades. In either case, the impeller has a portion which extends radially along an edge thereof which projects above the surface of the liquid being mixed in a vertical direction. The blades of the impeller are modified to include a top horizontal plate to lower the spray height of the liquid and an optional endcap, both of which can enhance and increase the standard aeration efficiency |
