Dutch term or phrase: rorders
I suspect a typo, but I'm not sure what the correction would be.

It's from a description of a water treatment plant, and this is one of the basins they describe: "een actiefslibbekken voor nitrificatie / dentrificatie (B-stap) met bijbehorende rorders en oppervlaktebeluchters"

Thanks in advance!
