MIXEL - Model DIGIMIX -Industrial Agitator for Digestion Tank

DIGIMIX - Agitator for sludge digestion and sludge methanization

Sludge coming from waste water plants is full of methane and is also called biogas. Sludge is transformed - through digestion or methanization - in order to :

• reduce its volume around 30% to 40%
• purify and deodorize it. Methanization takes place in a heated tank (digestion or methanization tank up to 15,000 m³) where an agitator rotates to separate methane from sludge.

MIXEL has designed a new agitator - called DIGIMIX - for equipping those tanks:

• top entry agitator with 2 levels of propellers (the geometry of TTF propellers increases the energetic efficiency of DIGIMIX and avoids tow retention)
• agitation shaft up to 25 m
• hydraulic seal without wearing parts
• guiding turret with conical rollers bearings to guide very long agitation shafts
• motor power up to 37 kW
