PHI’s patented Hydro-Pulse™ mixing system delivers a unique approach to mixing liquids in tanks and basins with no in-basin moving parts — resulting in reliable performance, simple operation, and significant energy savings compared with traditional mixers.
The Hydro-Pulse system uses sequential injections of compressed air (large “hydro-pulses”) to mix the entire contents of a tank. Because the process does not entrain oxygen and avoids mechanical shear, it’s effective in environments from anoxic wastewater basins to potable water tanks and lift stations.
The Hydro-Pulse mixing system operates by releasing large pulses of compressed air through stainless-steel forming plates at the bottom of the basin. As these pulses rise and break at the surface, they generate tank-wide circulation without mechanical agitation or oxygen entrainment — resulting in gentle, energy-efficient mixing throughout.
The system’s fully adjustable pulsing and lack of mechanical components in the basin make it a reliable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting solution.
Applications
The Hydro-Pulse mixing system can be used in:
- Water & wastewater basins
- Anoxic and aeration tanks
- Lift stations
- Sludge holding and EQ tanks
- Chemical and polymer mixing
- Potable water tanks
- Other liquid storage or treatment environments
Features & Benefits
- No moving parts inside the basin
- Significant power savings (Up to 50% power savings)
- NSF-61 approved
- Custom designed (to fit any basin geometry)
- Stainless and galvanized steel construction
- Provides protection against corrosion
- Design flexibility (equipment can be designed to fit any basin geometry)
