System Components

                        Mixer Nozzles

The heart of the JetMix system is the flow pattern

generated by the mixer nozzles.  The location and

direction of the nozzle along with the discharge

velocity combine to develop the unique flow pattern. 

These are combined to match the specifics of your

application.  Rotatable nozzles such as this one, allow

modification to the mixing pattern, cleaning specific

parts of the tank, or dealing with unusual and

unexpected challenges.  The rotatable nozzle is ideal

for dealing with roof pillars and corners of rectangular tanks.

The piping can be mounted above the floor when retrofitting existing tanks.   For new tanks,  the piping is

typically run under the floor to minimize obstructions.  Liquid Dynamics will help you choose the best arrangement and layout for your piping.

                     Optional Top Nozzle for Open Tanks

Open top tanks are subject to crust formation in some

applications such as long term sludge storage.  This

nozzle will rapidly break up surface crusts.  Directed

by the operator or locked in place, the nozzle is used

on an as-needed basis.   The nozzle is powered by

the mixing system pump.

                            Unique Digester Top Nozzle

Anaerobic Digesters and some other tanks often

experience crusts forming from foam, grease, or other

floating materials.  This nozzle, working with the mixing

pattern, can resuspend these materials to allow them to

be dealt with biologically.  Manually controlled, the

nozzle operates with the mixing system without affecting

the mixing pattern.

This nozzle has proven to be effective in thermophillic

first stage digesters experiencing significant grease

accumulation.  It has also been used to control foam

and scum in conventional digesters.  Strategically

placed, the nozzle needs no special adjustment to be

effective.

                    Mixer Pump

JetMix can work with many different pumps

that provide a steady flow and pressure. 

Municipal wastewater applications frequently

involve handling of fibrous masses, rags or

other materials which  will clog valves, nozzles, etc.

 JetMix pioneered the use of  a chopper style pump

for this application showing that the nozzles would

not clog over time.

Various pump configurations have been  used in JetMix systems.  One pump can serve multiple tanks that are mixed at differing times.  Multiple pumps are often used for very large tanks.  And the pumps can be used for other applications such as out-loading from a leachate storage tank while mixing the tank contents.  Liquid Dynamics can help you with these applications.

Rotatable nozzles are provided with exterior control boxes

 that include an indicator to show the nozzle’s position. 

Connected to  a gearbox under the nozzle, by means of a

crank rod, the nozzle can be rotated  in any direction  or

angle up to 360^o.  The crank rod and gear box are factory

sealed to eliminate any scheduled maintenance within the

tank.  Combined with a source of non-potable water, this

combination is ideal for wash downs.  These nozzles simplify

the challenges of rectangular or odd shaped tanks, tanks

with internal walls or obstructions, or dealing with situations

like  an accidental spill of chemical powder.
