Abstract
A wastewater treatment facility with aerators located on the bottom of a lagoon features a bundled group of air supply lines to supply air individually to each submerged aerator. The bundled group of air supply lines floats—and may additionally be supported by a surface-anchored tether line—at the surface of the lagoon, and the air supply lines are individually supplied with air from a manifold located by the side of the lagoon.
