PHi Hydro-Pulse Mixing Technology

Pulsed Hydraulics' mixing technology Hydro-Pulses pressurized air through stainless steel forming plates on the bottom of the tank, forming beachball-size bubble masses that fight their way to the surface. As they rise, the drag tank contents with them.

When the bubble-masses break the surface and exit to the atmosphere, the tank contents roll horizontally until they meet a tank wall, or meet a wave of contents coming from another bubble-mass, which forms a virtual wall. The contents move down the structural or virtual wall until they hit the tank bottom, where they move sideways, sweeping up settling solids in their path.

The PHi mixing system is not like diffuser or coarse-air mixers, where air is fed continuously. Instead, each Hydro-Pulsed bubble-mass is allowed to reach the surface, and the contents allowed to move of their own momentum for a predetermined length of time. This allows PHi to use the minimum amount of energy necessary to keep solids in suspension.
