DIRECT-DRIVE MIXER

AquaDDM
DIRECT-DRIVE MIXER

Since 1973, Aqua-Aerobic Systems has installed more than 10,000 AquaDDM Direct-Drive Mixer units in a variety of municipal and industrial applications. The mixer has also been incorporated into several Aqua-Aerobic processes including the AquaSBR Sequencing Batch Reactor, Aqua-Aerobic MBR Membrane Bioreactor, and AquaMB Process Multiple Barrier Membrane System. The AquaDDM mixer is designed to provide maximum mixing efficiency. When mixing requirements are the controlling factor, the mixer can reduce power costs, while delivering 3-4 times the mixing of any aerator of the same size.

System Features and Advantages

Available in FSS and SS models ranging from 1-75 HP Suitable for most basin configurations Floating mixer operates in varying liquid depths Anti-fouling impeller High volume, downflow mixing pattern and near surface intake eliminates short circuiting Eliminates or greatly reduces surface splashing and foaming Submerged intake volute eliminates air entrainment Lower initial cost, and less expensive to install and maintain than gear reduced (slow speed) units More reliable service than submerged directional mixers High efficiency mixing reduces power consumption One-piece stainless steel shaft; no couplings or submerged bearings High Efficiency and Endura Series motor options are available Directional flow assembly, and anti-erosion plate options available

Aqua MixAir System

The AquaDDM mixer, in combination with mechanical aeration or diffused aeration, composes the Aqua MixAir system. The combined use of downflow AquaDDM mixers and upflow Aqua-Jet surface aerators creates complementary flow patterns, and results in better suspension of solids and better distribution of oxygen and substrate. This improved process efficiency can result in energy savings of 30-40% in many applications. When combined with diffused aeration, the AquaDDM mixer provides a full range of aeration control without compromising mixing. This combination enables the operator to operate the diffused air systems only when oxygen is required. Full scale tests and operation in various installations have demonstrated that the addition of AquaDDM mixers to diffused aeration systems improves aeration efficiency by up to 30%.

Anoxic Basins
The AquaDDM mixer is ideal for use in anoxic basins for denitrification and phosphorus reduction. The mixer provides unrivaled mixing and uniform top-to-bottom blending of the basin. Unlike horizontal, sideentering, and submersible mixers, the AquaDDM provides efficient intermixing of the basin contents resulting in increased nutrient reduction.

AquaDDM Accessory Options

Directional Flow Assembly
The AquaDDM is available with an optional directional discharge assembly which converts the downward vertical flow to a horizontal flow. The AquaDDM with a directional flow assembly is ideally suited for use in long narrow tanks and oxidation ditches where directional flow may be necessary or desirable. In such applications, the AquaDDM with a directional flow assembly greatly reduces or eliminates short circuiting of the basin, eliminates deadspots and provides exceptional mixing of the basin contents.

Typical Applications

The AquaDDM mixer can be utilized in a number of applications: anoxic systems, back mixing, equalization, disinfection, neutralization, denitrication, directional mixing, blending combined streams, and sequencing batch reactors (SBRs).

Anoxic Mixing
This plant installed (54) 7.5 HP AquaDDM mixers in its (18) anoxic mixing basins to meet new permit requirements for denitrification and phosphorus prior to tertiary filtration in order to provide 25 MGD of reclaimed water

Denitrification
(20) 7.5 HP AquaDDM mixers are divided among five anoxic basins to provide a completely mixed environment for successful denitrification, without aeration, in this 65 MGD wastewater treatment facility

Sequencing Batch Reactors

AquaDDM mixers are utilized in this dual-basin AquaSBR system to meet the plants strict permit effluent levels (mg/l) of 8.0 BOD, 30 TSS, 1.5 Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, 1.0 Ammonia Nitrogen, and 0.75 Total Phosphorus

Aerobic Digesters
This plant replaced (16) submersible mixers with four (4) AquaDDM mixers in its two anoxic basins and one (1) Aqua MixAir system in its two aerobic digesters (consisting of an AquaDDM mixer combined with diffused aeration)
