Petrochemical industry client
"Just to let you know, the tank mixer we installed is still operating and working extremely well… we haven't had to enter the tank to clean it since it was installed and is scheduled for its routine inspection next year!"
Chemical industry client
"Your jet mixers are working better than anticipated! We have not had to enter tank 7 since your jet mixer was installed… 5 years ago, we went from annual cleanings to potentially having it on 5-year intervals or more! The eddy mixers we installed on tanks 11 & 12 are..."
Industrial manufacturing client
"I am very pleased with the results I see. For the most part the EQ tank is self-neutralizing. That is the main goal of the EQ tank's mixing system. There are few instances when the tank gets to >70% full and hasn't neutralized and chemicals must be added."
Food & Beverage client
"I just spoke to our Manager who has been intimate with the project operation, he stated confidently that all is running really well with the Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station (TDPS) mixing equipment / flushing nozzles."

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes poultry processing wastewater so challenging to treat?
Poultry wastewater contains extremely high levels of organic matter (BOD/COD), fats, oils, proteins, blood, and suspended solids. These characteristics demand robust aeration systems with superior oxygen transfer efficiency and thorough mixing capabilities to prevent grease accumulation and ensure complete biological treatment before discharge.
How do jet aeration systems handle high fat content from poultry processing?
Our jet aerators create micro-sized bubbles (0.1-1mm) through high shear mixing chambers, providing superior gas-liquid contact and preventing fat accumulation. The horizontal plume design maintains extended contact time, while thorough mixing prevents stratification and ensures fats are properly emulsified and treated biologically.
What energy savings can we expect compared to our current aeration system?
Our jet aeration systems typically achieve energy reductions of up to 40% compared to conventional diffused air or mechanical aeration methods. This is due to superior oxygen transfer efficiency across multiple transfer zones, reduced air flow requirements, and optimized hydraulic design that maximizes treatment effectiveness per unit of energy consumed.
Can your systems handle variable loads from batch processing operations?
Absolutely. Our flexible aeration configurations are ideal for facilities with variable flow and load conditions. The systems offer flexible operation with variable air flow control, allowing you to adjust treatment intensity based on real-time processing schedules while maintaining consistent discharge quality.
How long does installation typically take, and will it disrupt our operations?
Installation timelines vary based on system size and complexity, but our prefabricated modular design significantly reduces on-site installation time. All mechanical assemblies are positioned outside tanks for easy access, and we work closely with your team to schedule installation during planned downtime or in phases to minimize operational disruption.
What maintenance is required for jet aeration systems?
Our systems are designed for virtually maintenance-free operation. With no in-basin moving parts and all mechanical assemblies (pumps, blowers) positioned outside tanks for easy access, routine maintenance is minimal. Optional pneumatic backflush systems eliminate nozzle clogging concerns, and the robust stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability.
Do you provide systems that meet USDA and EPA discharge requirements?
Yes. Our treatment systems are engineered to help facilities achieve compliance with federal, state, and local discharge regulations including EPA guidelines for meat and poultry processing facilities. We design systems based on your specific permit limits and can provide performance data from similar installations.
What is the expected lifespan of your wastewater treatment equipment?
Our systems are built for durability with quality materials including stainless steel. With proper operation and routine maintenance, the equipment typically operates reliably for 20+ years. The absence of in-basin moving parts significantly extends service life compared to mechanical aerators and eliminates costly underwater repairs.
