About Us
Todd Vlasak
President & CEO Aeromax Aeration
The Aeromax technology was derived from Mr. Vlasak’s 25+ years of professional experience in environmental consulting and industrial technology development. Todd’s background in remediation, waste management, industrial processes, and biochemical studies gave him a unique understanding of the limitations of a broad range of treatment processes. His frustration with inefficient industrial methods and equipment drove him to develop a superior process treatment solution – the Aeromax product line.
The original technology concept began as a father/son collaboration between Todd and Lanny Vlasak. The goal was simple: develop a solution, using a unique high-sheer design to drastically improve common industrial systems built on inefficient, costly, and high maintenance equipment.
Todd assembled a team of industry experts to refine the Aeromax concept, and invented a new technology that delivers improved mixing and aeration for a wide range of industrial treatment needs. After more than a decade of research, design, and comprehensive testing, Mr. Vlasak proved the viability of the new process technology and was granted a US Process Patent (#8118283-B2) for use of Aeromax in water purification and wastewater treatment.
Mr. Vlasak launched Aeromax in 2017. Todd is hands-on leader who works closely with clients to understand the demands of their particular needs and provide the best system for the specific applications.
Ronald G. Presswood Jr.
Director of Engineering
The Aeromax system is based on precise technology matched with keen insight of chemical properties. Mr. Presswood joined the Aeromax team to bring the Aeromax concept to practical application. Ron’s extensive background in mechanical engineering, environmental studies, and product development transported the product line from prototype to proven solutions.
Mr. Presswood has a prolific record for cutting edge technology throughout his work with The Texas Center of Superconductivity, The Johnson Space Flight Center and Robotic Cranes. His work has produced numerous patents for gas treatment, dental services and waste water decontamination. His expertise in combing advanced engineering and space-age materials make Aeromax products a revolution in modern aeration.
Thomas “Lanny” Vlasak
Concept Developer
The original concept for the advanced Aeromax technology was envisioned by Thomas “Lanny” Vlasak. Lanny is a life-long inventor and entrepreneur with a background in industrial chemistry. Through his work supporting the paper industry, paint industry, and petrochemical refining; Lanny recognized that there were serious problems and inefficiencies in regards to reliable and effective mixing of materials. He began work on the Aeromax concept for improved mixing of fluids in the 1970s. The theory for the unique Aeromax technology was tested and refined through a series of prototypes. Lanny and Todd joined forces in 2008 to complete the development of the proprietary Aeromax Process and equipment.
