AquaBlend™
Precise mixing technology for clean water
Uniform mixing for reliable drinking water quality
AquaBlend™ Potable Water Mixing Systems provide mixing of water treatment process basins and water storage tanks using impurity-free compressed air. In potable water storage tanks, mixing is an effective tool for meeting regulatory requirements for control of microbial contaminants and reduction of disinfection byproducts (DBPs).
AquaBlend™ can also provide mixing of water treatment plant sludge tanks to maintain homogeneity and in powdered activated carbon (PAC) contactors to improve removal efficiency of unpleasant taste and odor compounds.
Smart Mixing for optimal water quality
Precise mixing with compressed air
AquaBlend™ provides mixing in water storage tanks by firing programmed short bursts of impurity-free compressed air through patented engineered nozzles.
Natural movement of water for perfect homogenization
The controller air injection valve intermittently fires to blend from the tank bottom to the water surface. The large bubbles create a distinctive mixing pattern, or “tank roll.”
Customizable settings for maximum efficiency
The blending parameters of the controller may be adjusted by the operator for optimal mixing and power utilization, or the automated instrumentation feedback control system may be used.
- Velké objemy vzduchu expandují směrem nahoru, čímž udržují vodu promíchanou a zabraňují její stagnaci v nádržích na vodu.
- Ventilový modul a ovládací panel upravují intenzitu míchání změnou parametrů výstřelů.
- Speciálně navržené trysky v blízkosti dna nádrže rozvádějí krátké dávky stlačeného vzduchu.
- Bezolejový kompresor plní expanzní nádobu, která pak dodává stlačený vzduch bez nečistot do ventilového modulu.
- Velké objemy vzduchu expandují směrem nahoru a udržují v nádržích na kal a v kontaktorech PAC pevné látky ve vznosu a rovnoměrně promíchané.
Maximum efficiency and purity in every drop
Energy Efficiency
- Low power usage.
- Greater energy efficiency than mechanical mixers.
- In sludge tanks, operates at a fraction of the energy of diffused air mixing.
Straightforward Operation
- No submerged electrical components.
- Non-clogging in-tank elements.
- Zero in-tank maintenance.
- Minimal maintenance of out-of-tank components (compressors, receivers, and air control valves) in controlled environments.
Process Optimization
- Homogenization of tank contents.
- Disinfection depletion slowdown.
- Reduction of tank flushing and batch chlorination dosing.
- Reduction of DBP formation, and taste/odor issues.
- Elimination of thermal stratification.
- Freezing/ice damage prevention.
- Míchání vhodné pro koncentrace až 8 % pevných látek v kalových aplikacích.
Unparalleled Flexibility
- Bottom-up mixing in tanks of any size.
- Increase of water supply quality and volume.
- Variable mixing intensity based on operating depth.
- No low water level limitations — able to mix at any depth.
Kde AquaBlend™ přináší nejlepší výsledky
AquaBlend™ Potable Water Mixing is ideally suited for numerous water treatment applications, including:
Preventing problems and maintaining quality
Potable water storage tanks are kept mostly full (greater than 70%) in order to maintain pressure and meet peak demand. Daily volume levels rarely fluctuate more than 10%, creating stagnant water and thermally stratified layers. Aged water can lose its disinfectant residual, resulting in bacterial regrowth and waterborne illnesses.
Water Quality Problems in Unmixed Potable Water Storage Tanks:
Chemical Issues:
- Disinfentant Decay
- Chemical Contaminants
- DBP Formation
- Taste and Odors
Biological Issues:
- Microbial Regrowth
- Nitrification
- Contamination by Pathogens
- Taste and Odors
Physical Issues:
- Corrosion
- Temperature/Stratification
- Sediment
