Anoxic Tank Agitator in Jaipur
An Anoxic Tank Agitator is a mechanical device installed in an anoxic tank of a wastewater treatment system to provide gentle mixing without introducing oxygen. The purpose of this agitation is to maintain homogeneous conditions, keep solids in suspension, and enhance biological denitrification, which occurs under low-oxygen conditions. Unlike aerobic tanks, where oxygen is supplied for bacterial activity, the anoxic tank relies on mixing without aeration to support the growth of denitrifying bacteria.
Function in Wastewater Treatment
- Promotes denitrification by maintaining contact between nitrate-rich water and carbon sources.
- Prevents sludge settling, reducing dead zones.
- Prepares water for subsequent aerobic treatment or sedimentation
Properties:
Low-shear Mixing:
- Designed to provide uniform mixing without introducing oxygen.
- Ensures microorganisms and nutrients are evenly distributed.
Energy Efficient:
- Operates at low RPMs, consuming less energy compared to aerobic tank mixers.
Durable Construction:
- Usually made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand wastewater environments.
- Can have sealed or submersible motor units for long life.
Variable Mounting Options:
- Can be top-mounted, side-mounted, or submersible depending on tank design.
Adjustable Speed:
- Allows control over mixing intensity to prevent dead zones without oxygenating the tank.
Maintenance Friendly:
- Bearings and seals are designed for long operation cycles with minimal maintenance.
