Buffer load peaks reliably

Mixing and equalisation tanks are usually installed upstream of an aeration stage in SBR plants and industrial wastewater treatment plants. They buffer load peaks and provide volume equalisation. The tanks are generally designed for daily or weekly equalisation.

FUCHS offers a wide range of solutions tailored to individual requirements. Reliable and robust FUCHS TurboStar® mixers are used for intensive mixing. If the wastewater also needs to be kept fresh in addition to circulation, OxyStar® aerators, Centrox aerators or AeroStar aerators take on this task. Uncontrolled foam formation can be specifically avoided by using Centrox aerators with foam intake. Mixing and equalisation tanks are usually operated with a fluctuating water level. For this reason, all FUCHS machines are installed on robust floats.
