Submerged, fine bubble jet aeration with multiple oxygen transfer zones, creating micro-size bubbles (very fine) for superior mass transfer rates. Achieves significant energy savings while eliminating mist, spray, and icing problems in petrochemical applications.

Complete Aeration Configuration Systems

Complete turnkey aeration systems with integrated pumps, blowers and aerators. Specifically designed for refinery and chemical applications requiring batch treatment of complex industrial wastewater streams.

Hydraulic Sludge Mixing

Custom-designed hydraulic mixing systems engineered for petrochemical sludge management. Handles high-solids applications with reliable performance and reduced maintenance requirements in demanding refinery environments.

Directional Mix Jet Aerators

Wall-mounted jet aerators creating flow patterns in rectangular tanks, oxidation ditches, and lagoons. Ideal for high-rate activated sludge systems and aerobic digestion in petrochemical wastewater treatment facilities.

Eddy Mix Jet Aerators

Radial cluster configuration with twelve jet nozzles creating complete mixing patterns in circular tanks up to 65 feet in diameter. Perfect for medium to high reaction rate systems including chemical oxidation applications.

Specialty Custom Systems

Computer-aided custom designs engineered to meet specific petrochemical wastewater challenges. Available in stainless steel for aggressive chemical environments with specialized configurations for unique facility requirements.

Proven Industrial Performance

Engineered Solutions for Complex Petrochemical Wastewater Challenges

Petrochemical wastewater contains hydrocarbons, chemical residues, and high BOD/COD loads that standard treatment systems struggle to handle effectively. Our advanced jet aeration technology utilizes a unique double nozzle design with multiple oxygen transfer zones, achieving superior mass transfer rates while delivering significant energy savings. With all mechanical assemblies positioned outside tanks for easy maintenance and no in-basin moving parts, our systems deliver virtually maintenance-free operation in the harshest petrochemical environments—trusted by industry leaders including Dow Chemical, BASF, Exxon, and Shell Refinery worldwide.

Industry Trust

Hundreds of successful installations serving major petrochemical and refinery operations across six continents.

"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."
