2.2 Intended use
These mixers and flowmakers are designed for
mixing in industrial applications.
2.2.1 Applications
These mixers and flowmakers are intended to be
used in the following areas:
•
municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
•
industrial processes
•
sludge treatment
•
agriculture
•
biogas plants.
2.3 Mixed liquids
Observe the following liquid limitations to avoid
overloading and exposing the mixers and flowmakers
to corrosion.
Liquid temperature range
pH value
Maximum dynamic viscosity
Maximum density
Chloride content
*The liquid temperature range is stated on the
nameplate.
For the mixing of liquids exceeding the values stated
above, contact Grundfos.
2.3.1 Mixers
Mixers are suitable for a wide range of applications
involving liquids with a typical dry solids (DS) content
stated in the table below.
Activated sludge
Sludge in selector
zones
Sludge in anoxic zones
Sludge in bivalent
zones
Sludge in anaerobic zones
Primary sludge
2.3.2 Flowmakers
Flowmakers are suitable for activated sludge with a
typical dry solids (DS) content of 0.5 to 1.0 % and for
other liquids with a dry solids content of maximum 1.5
%.
