When it comes to water treatment, many plants and facilities focus on the “big” equipment — pumps, blowers, filters, and tanks. But in the background, one critical process often gets overlooked: mixing.
And here’s the problem — poor mixing leads to poor water quality.
The Problem: Incomplete Mixing is Costing You More Than You Think
If chemicals like coagulants, flocculants, or disinfectants aren’t evenly distributed through the water, they can’t do their job properly. Instead of working efficiently, you end up with:
- Uneven treatment – Some areas get overdosed, others get almost nothing.
- Increased chemical use – Wasted product means you spend more to get the same results.
- Bacterial hotspots – Pockets of untreated water can harbor harmful microorganisms.
- Higher maintenance – Poor mixing can lead to scaling, biofilm buildup, and fouling in pipes and filters.
For facilities managing large volumes of water, these issues can add up to thousands in unnecessary costs every year — and compromise water safety.
The Solution: A Smarter Way to Mix
The IGS Water 316SS Inline Plate Static Mixer was designed to solve exactly this problem. By using precision-engineered plates, it creates zones of high and low pressure inside the pipe, generating intense turbulence. This natural process blends fluids and gases evenly into your water stream — without moving parts or electricity.
Why It Works
- Complete, consistent mixing – Every drop of water is treated the same.
- Better chemical efficiency – Coagulants, disinfectants, and other additives work harder with less waste.
- Pathogen control – Self-sterilizing effect makes it harder for bacteria to survive.
- Low-cost operation – No motors, no power bills, minimal maintenance.
Real-World Benefits
One of the biggest advantages? You don’t have to overhaul your whole treatment system to see results. The static mixer installs inline with your existing piping and starts improving water quality immediately.
For municipalities, industrial plants, and aquaculture facilities, that means cleaner water, fewer chemicals, and more consistent treatment — all from one simple, stainless steel device.
