Chemical Dosing & Mixing

Our mix tanks are available in a range of different sizes (MT1, MT2, MT4, MT8, MT20, MT30, and MT100) to provide the necessary contact and reaction time required for your desired treatable flow rate and contamination.

All tanks incorporate integral baffles that can be changed in position to suit the treatment philosophy, with the mixing of chemicals controlled via top-mounted variable speed mixer motors, making these units well-suited to applications where regulation of energy is paramount to the process.

To remove the need for further pumping, our mix tanks can be provided with support steelwork, allowing the flocculated wastewater to gravitate naturally to the separation/settlement stage if required.

Mix tanks are typically provided as part of a complete treatment package by providing dosing prior to separation in a Lamella Settlement Unit or a DAF, and are typically operated in conjunction with our Dosing Skids or Containerised Dosing Systems.  Our mix tanks can also efficiently pre-treat sludge ahead of dewatering.

The Siltbuster Chemical Dosing Skid comprises a space-efficient and splash-proof enclosure (housing) for the storage of dosing pumps and their associated ancillary equipment, provided in a range of configurations from simple flow-proportional dosing to automated polymer batching systems.

These compact, neat skids are provided with a bunded chemical spill tray which can be easily forklifted into position on site to ensure HSE guidelines are followed.

Dosing skids are typically provided as part of a complete treatment system and are used to meter the required process chemicals into a pipe flocculator or mix tank proportional to the incoming flow rate before separation via a lamella settlement unit or DAF.

_{Typical Applications: Automated Flocculant Makeup, Controlled Chemical Dosing, pH Correction}

Although less used these days, Siltbuster Pipe Flocculators provide a secure and consistent method of effectively mixing treatment chemicals with wastewater. The use of in-line static mixers eliminates the need for powered mixers, minimising power requirements on-site.

As standard, our Pipe Flocculators come complete with 4 dosing ports allowing the sequential addition of a range of treatment chemicals. They are ideal for constant flow application, are available in a range of different sizes, and are typically provided as part of a complete treatment system before separation in a Lamella Settlement Unit or a DAF. As an optional item, in-line monitoring for common water quality parameters (pH, Turbidity, and Conductivity) can be built into the unit.
