Abstract
A wastewater treatment system having a tank with an inlet and an outlet and an offset access opening residing at a top of the tank, a clarifier compartment positioned within the tank, an aeration compartment formed within the tank around an exterior of the clarifier compartment, and aerators extending into the aeration compartment so as to supply air to the wastewater within the aeration compartment. The access opening is formed between a center of the top and an outer wall of the tank. Each of the aerators includes an air inlet, a conduit connected to the air inlet, a diffuser assembly connected to an end of the conduit opposite the air inlet and an anchor connected to the diffuser assembly opposite the conduit so as to maintain the diffuser in a fixed position within the aeration compartment. The diffuser assembly has a plurality of diffusers formed thereon.
