Building Bigger and Better

Building Bigger & Better Industrial Mixers MIXER SOLUTION FOR MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY 2019 was a great year at Dynamix.  We took on some exciting industrial agitator projects.  One such project was with a leading asphalt manufacturer.  Our client, looking to be more efficient in their manufacturing of its asphalt sought out Dynamix for some custom industrial mixer engineering expertise. Knowing the challenging aspects of asphalt mixing as well as having a long relationship with this clients operations Dynamix was able to tailor this latest mixing design to the operational needs of this client. Knowing how to combine 3 Top Entry Mixers into a tank offered substantial energy savings over using side entry mixers. Further, we were able to recoginise the different

Coagulation and Flocculation Process and Mixing Essentials

Coagulation & Flocculation PROCESS MIXING ESSENTIALS Wastewater has particulate matter which must to be removed before further treatment and clarification, these particles (colloids) are negatively charged. Such particles are very minute and take a very long time to settle.  The help increase the time for these particles to settle from a weeks or hours to a few minutes the coagulation process has to be applied early in the water treatment stage. Generally the coagulation stage happens after the Ph adjustment stage, where the water is adjusted to be more alkaline, so that additives like aluminum sulphate or ferric sulphate (trivalent coagulants) can be effective for coagulation and flocculation process. Coagulation Process The objective is to create microfloc from particulate matter,

Fracking and Mixer Use

In Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing: the process of mining oil or natural gas in geologic formation underground, specifically gas locked in pores of rocks like shale, the mixing of fracking fluid plays an essential role in the mining process.  Dynamix is proud to provide an efficient mixer system which makes this process more economical.  The dynamic coupling technology is ideal for this process and will be explained here. Fracking, in simple terms, drills a hole down vertically on average 1.5 miles, then after making at 90 degree turn, then drill horizontally at a distance, at times longer than even the vertical distance drilled. The next step is to open up many holes in the horizontal section of the pipe.  After,

Water Treatment at City of Anamosa – Mixer Solution Case Study

At Dynamix, working with the North American water treatment industry is a big part of what we do, providing mixers for various applications in the water treatment process.  In many installations, a custom solution is required. One such project was with the City of Anamosa’s water treatment plant and their need to upgrade their current mixers in their process. Looking for a new mixer with the goal to find a more durable and efficient mixer, the water plant superintendent Jim (Henson) was tasked with.  After doing an extensive search online for a solution, he was fortunate to find Dynamix, “…I was very lucky when I was searching on line and decided to call Dynamix and after talking to the sales

Mixing for Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF Systems)

Coagulation, flocculation and flotation systems Dynamix is often called on for its process experience in many industries because the mixer is at the heart of these processes.  DAF systems are used across many industries with many unique requirements which Dynamix is familiar with. There really isn’t a one size fits all or a configuration template that works for all processes when it comes to DAF systems. Ideally, the Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) process is used for thickening of combined primary and secondary sludge removing low-density materials such as microorganisms (algae, cysts), natural organic matter (NOM) and floc in low turbidity, soft waters (typically using coagulation and flocculation). Typically, DAF systems are a faster and more reliable alternative to sedimentation in the clarification
