ETP troubleshooting: Flocculator agitator gearbox damage. Need temporary fix

We have a 300 KLD continuous flow ETP plant. Recently, the flocculator agitator gearbox got damaged and we had to continue with the working of the plant. As a temporary measure, we fixed a 3HP pump to circulate the water in the Flocculator tank but this method was not that efficient.

We also tried agitation with compressed air and even that did not work well. Can anybody suggest us a better method so that we can manage till the gearbox is repaired. The flocculator tank has a capacity of 60m3.
