Jet Mixing
Jet mixers are used in wastewater treatment applications primarily in unit processes where liquid blending, solids suspension, flow generation or chemical reactions are key process parameters. Jet mixers are ideal for these types of applications. The superior performance of jet mixers are due to the following:
- The high velocity liquid stream creates a negative pressure in the mixing chamber inducing additional liquid flow through the suction inlets located circumferentially around the outer mixing jet.
- The transfer of horizontal momentum from the high velocity stream to the surrounding liquid entrains additional bulk flow.
- The thrust imparted to the bulk liquid creates a small head gain which produces a horizontal bulk fluid velocity.
Jet mixing is a very effective way to distribute mixing energy while minimizing power input in large diameter reactors. The in-tank components are FRP and/or stainless steel with no moving parts. Conventional pumps are used for the jet motive flow and are located just outside the tanks for ease in maintenance. Compared to alternative mixing technologies, a KLa jet mixing system offers the following advantages.
- Proven 20+ Years Design Life
- Low Installed Cost
- Low Maintenance Cost
- Superior Process Performance
- Superior Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance
