Environmental applications can be notoriously difficult to handle as the influent to a Waste Water plant can be relatively unregulated. Dissolved and Suspended solids as well as Ph fluctuations can present some difficulties when attempting to achieve a uniform suspension for forward feeding to the next processing step.Clean Edge

One major difficulty has been 'ragging up' of rotating equipment. Lightnins Clean Edge Impeller is an innovative design dramatically reducing the occurance of process upsets due to build up on shaft and impellers.

The innovative design allows for similiar flow characteristics from the impeller ensuring equivalent mixing performance while power draws are also very similiar to the standard more traditional impeller designs. This allows for relatively easy retrofit onto existing units without compromising plant operational running costs.
