Sludge Holding Tanks

Sludge holding tanks provide storage of biosolids and can serve as a location for thickening before further processing or disposal. Mixing in sludge holding tanks provides uniform sludge concentration, prevents sludge stratification, and ensures a homogeneous feed to dewatering equipment.

A BioMix Compressed Gas Mixing System provides non-clog performance, eliminates in-tank maintenance, and allows mixing intensity to be adjusted based on sludge concentration and depth. Additionally, BioMix uses a fraction of the energy needed to mix the tank contents versus mechanical mixers, jet or pump mixing systems, or diffused aeration.

Additionally, an AquaBlend Potable Water Mixing System provides energy-efficient, low-maintenance mixing in water treatment plant sludge tanks to maintain homogeneity.

Advantages

	Energy Efficiency Significant reduction in operating power
	Straightforward Operation Non-clogging, self-cleaning components in tank No mechanical or electrical components in the sludge Zero wall penetrations below the water line, eliminating the risk of leaking
	Process Optimization Mixing suitable for concentrations up to 8% solids Variable mixing intensity based on operating depth Guaranteed uniform mixing with onsite performance testing
	Unparalleled Flexibility Integration with any tank geometry or configuration Circular header conforms to the slope of the floor, eliminating “dead spots” No low water level limitations — able to mix at any depth
