BioMix TM Compressed Gas Mixing
BioMix Technology Overview Compressed Gas Mixing • Intermittently firing short bursts of compressed air through engineered nozzles and controlled by valve panel • Compressed gas mixing creates solutions that: • Save energy • Reduce maintenance • Address nutrient removal • Effective mixing and efficient operation • Uniform distribution of mixing energy • Guarantee < 10% coefficient of variation (CV) • 60% or more energy savings • Highly scalable • Once compressor replaces over 20+ mixers • Flexible design • Any basin footprint, depth or slope • Field optimized operational parameters 8
Technology Overview BioMix Compressed Gas Mixing • Intermittent and sequential short bursts of compressed gas introduced into the fluid • Large compressed gas volumes expand upward and outward • Expanding bubbles provide controlled turbulence, fluid currents and provide mixing • Does so with negligible amount of oxygen transfer due to low surface area to volume ratio • Ideal for Anoxic and Anaerobic mixing environments 9
