Sludge mixing plays a critical role in any anaerobic digester process control. The sludge mixer works to mix and circulate the digester’s sludge contents through a propeller in order to minimize the accumulation of scum, distribute heat and ensure that the solids are suspended in the liquid.

When you choose sludge mixers from Komax, you get features that make the mixing process easier as well as excellent results for any project you are taking on.

Why Komax Sludge Mixers are the Best Choice

Komax sludge mixers are designed for the effective mixture of polymer solution into sludge flows prior to the process of dewatering. They can help in achieving polymer savings in excess of 25%. Some of the advantages of sludge mixers by Komax include:

• Downstream Free-Flow or Clear Lengths are Not Required: The performance of a Komax sludge mixer does not depend on any trailing or standing vortex flow phenomena. This makes it extremely insensitive to perturbations or variations in the incoming flow.

On top of this, all of the mixing that is required takes place within the length of the mixer. There is no need for downstream free flow or clear lengths for the mixing to be completed.

• Clogging or Fouling Resistant Design: Komax sludge mixers are designed with an extremely high resistance to clogging or fouling.

A large radius smoothly contours the edges of the element sets. Element ends intersect with the wall at oblique angles, which means that corners that can trap fibrous or solid materials are eliminated, preventing the accumulation of those materials. In addition, reversal of momentum and impingement of flow provide a self-cleaning environment within the sludge mixer.

• Engineered Injector for Optimum Efficiency: One of the best things about Komax sludge mixers is that they come with an injector manifold that is designed to present the diluted solution of polymers to the sludge flow.

This in turn ensures optimum efficiency in the mixing process.  It helps in improving the dispersion of the small amount of solution through the elements of sludge mixing. Apart from reducing consumption and costs of polymers, the mixer will produce dryer cake solids in operations involving dewatering processes.

When it comes to sludge mixers, you want to make sure that you invest in the best for high efficiency and reduced time, labor and costs.
