"We can't really tell how well it is mixing but it must be doing its job. Bugs are growing and we're making gas!"

Food & Beverage client with Covered Anaerobic Digester lagoon

"There is no doubt that the system is doing exactly what it was intended to do, thank you for working with us to make this project successful."

Industrial processing client

"Your system was really simple and straightforward to install. Thanks so much!"

Municipal Industry General Contractor

"The thermal imaging is telling us that your mixing system is working as designed and our solids accumulating should no longer be a concern. This is great news, thank you for working with us Amit and I hope we can do more work with you in the future."

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 is the tertiary method of wastewater treatment?

Tertiary wastewater treatment is the advanced treatment stage following primary and secondary treatment. It removes remaining contaminants including nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), suspended solids, pathogens, and dissolved organics to produce high-quality effluent. For poultry wastewater, tertiary methods commonly include advanced aeration, chemical oxidation, biological nutrient removal, filtration, and disinfection to meet strict discharge standards or enable water reuse.
