An aerator has a submersible mixing tube having a water inlet and an aerated water outlet. An aspirating tube penetrates the mixing tube between the water inlet and the aerated water outlet, the aspirating tube having an air outlet introducing air into the mixing tube and an air inlet drawing in air from atmosphere above a water surface. The mixing tube has an outboard motor lower unit engagement to engage a lower unit of an outboard motor in use such that a propeller thereof locates entirely within the mixing tube with a midsection of the outboard motor extending from the engagement. As such, the propeller of the outboard motor lower unit thrusts water past the air inlet thereby creating suction at the inlet to draw air via the mixing tube to mix with the water to expel a plume of aerated water.

A container-type apparatus for wastewater treatment with a suspended particle system, including one or multiple biological reaction zones. The biological reaction zones can be facultative, anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic and at least one of the biological reaction zones is a suspended particle system. Particles in the suspended particle system act as the carrier of microbiota and offer better conditions for them to grow. The apparatus adopts a box structure, such as a container type, which is convenient to move, flexible to assemble, and can be used multiple times. Based on actual requirements, this apparatus can also be a structure type. The suspended particle system can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion.
