Mixing and equalisation tanks

Mixing and equalisation tanks are usually installed upstream of an activated sludge stage in SBR plants and industrial wastewater treatment plants. Here, load peaks are buffered and volume equalisation takes place. The tanks are generally designed for daily or weekly equalisation.

FUCHS offers a wide range of solutions to suit individual requirements. For intensive mixing, reliable and robust FUCHS TurboStar® mixers or FlowStar agitators are used. If the wastewater needs to be kept fresh as well as circulated, OxyStar® aerators, Centrox aerators or AeroStar aerators take on this task. Uncontrolled foam formation can be reliably prevented by using Centrox aerators with foam intake. Mixing and equalisation tanks are usually operated with a fluctuating water level, which is why all FUCHS machines are installed on robust floats.
