Hydraulic mixing
The JetMix™ hydraulic mixing system agitates sludge within the anaerobic digestion process, optimizing digestion and methane production. The latter can be captured and used as energy within a wastewater treatment facility. The system allows operators to schedule mixing times, which can reduce power usage by 60 - 80% without decreasing gas production or negatively affecting volatile solids reduction.

Stormwater filtration
Retenu, now available from StormwateRx, is a new stormwater roughing filtration system that is ideal for heavy industrial sites where sediment is prevalent in stormwater runoff. It is fully automated and chemical-free and can be used as a pretreatment to Aquip® or Purus® stormwater filtration systems or as a stand-alone filter to remove sediment from stormwater runoff. The treatment process uses filtered stormwater for back-washing, flushing out accumulated dirt and concentrating the solids.
