Wastewater sewage treatment plants are a critical component of our modern everyday life and play a critical roll in keeping our waterways clean for fisheries, wildlife ecosystems and the environment. Wastewater treatment plants process wastewater from homes, industries and storm water runoff before safely returning it to our environment. The main goal in wastewater treatment is to remove as many suspended solids quickly and efficiently while using the least amount of resources as possible. Solid decaying organic matter left untreated uses up dissolved oxygen needed by animals and plants living in the water.
To accomplish this, municipal and industrial wastewater treatments plants all over the country process billions of gallons of raw sewage and wastewater daily through a serious of primary and secondary stages to removed solids and clean the water prior to it returning to the local lake or waterway. This 24-hour, 7-day a week processes uses nearly 4% of our nation’s electricity, some of it on inefficient mechanical mixers that require a lot of maintenance.
For over 25-years, Pulsair Systems has been replacing inefficient, high energy consuming and high emission emitting mechanical mixers with an energy-efficient and effective vertical mixing solution. Pulsair mixing systems greatly reduce energy consumption needed to run these wastewater treatment plants mixers and significantly reduce maintenance making the operation of these facilities more efficient.
Pulsair Systems’ unique, vertical mixing solutions for wastewater sewage treatment plants are ideal because they are designed to fit any size tank allowing for 100% of the tank’s contents to be uniformly mixed faster and more efficiently than with mechanical mixers.
A few reasons why the Pulsair mixing system should be the main choice when choosing a wastewater mixer:
1. Faster mixing
The vertical mixing process generated from the Pulsair mixing can mix, blend and agitate 100% of the contents of a tank faster than any other solution and can operate at any liquid level. This process provides a better flow patterns than horizontal mechanical mixers in both rectangular and circular tanks eliminating the need for expensive baffles to be installed.
2. Improves tank utilization
Pulsair mixers are designed to fit any size tank or vessel regardless of their size or tank floor bottom design. Additional support structures and guide rail systems for inefficient submersible gear-driven mixers and jet mixers are no longer needed. The Pulsair vertical mixing process allows for better suspension of solids and eliminates stratification or sludge build up on the bottom of the tank.
3. Reduces maintenance costs
Pulsair mixing systems greatly reduces maintenance costs because there are no moving parts in the tank! In addition to inefficient jet mixers that continually and inefficiently bleed air into tanks, most wastewater treatment plants also use expensive submersible gear-driven mixers that require periodic retrieval for inspection, preventive maintenance and occasional replacement.
4. Improves operation efficiency
The combination of faster mixing, improved tank utilization and reduced maintenance costs allows wastewater treatment plants improve operation efficiency. Customers all over the world previously using inefficient mechanical mixers have successfully converted to the Pulsair Systems mixing process to reduced energy consumption without comprising the goals of the respective wastewater treatment stage.
