WWW™ MINION
LP-MINION Low Pressure, Large Bubble Mixing System LP-MINION low pressure, big bubble mixing technology is designed to support World Water Works' intensification technology suite. Delivering mixing performance for anaerobic, anoxic, equalization (EQ) and sludge storage tanks, LP-MINION provides improved mixing for media and densified activated sludge — all while improving overall treatment efficacy.
Using existing low-pressure air from your facility's blowers, this technology mixes tank contents without the need for mechanical mixers or high-pressure compressors. This design supports the placement of LP-MINION in strategic locations on the reactor floor to create an optimal, systematic mixing sequence with minimal settling.
How it works
LP-MINION creates a large bubble, effectively mixes the water column, keeping biosolids in suspension and preventing the formation of dead zones where sludge can accumulate. The large bubbles rise quickly, minimizing the surface area and contact time for oxygen transfer and maintaining anaerobic/anoxic environments for improved selector treatment process.
Benefits
