The present invention is a pulse spilling self-aerator (PSSA) that has the potential to greatly lower the installation, operation, and maintenance cost associated with aerating and mixing aqueous solutions. Currently, large quantities of low-pressure air are required in aeration systems to support many biochemical production processes and wastewater treatment plants. Oxygen is traditionally supplied and mixed by a compressor or blower and a mechanical agitator. These systems have high-energy requirements and high installation and maintenance costs. The PSSA provides a mixing and aeration capability that can increase operational efficiency and reduce overall cost.

1. A method of mixing at least two fluid streams, comprising the steps of: a. circulating a first fluid through a pulse spilled self-aerator (PSSA) such that a vacuum is generated at a discrete point within the PSSA, b. providing a fluid mixture by entraining a second fluid into the first fluid at the location of the discrete point via said vacuum, c. mixing and agitating the fluid streams by a pulsing flow aided by gravitation flow vertically down a plurality of concentric units, said units comprising at least one straight duct and at least one fluid pulser.
