In the water treatment industry, “mixing” is often synonymous with large, energy-hungry devices and complex chemical dosing. IGS Water Solutions challenges this conventional wisdom with the Static Mixer, an innovative, power-free device that achieves superior water quality, enhances chemical performance, and even promotes natural disinfection—all with zero maintenance.
This simple yet powerful device is changing the game for water and wastewater treatment globally.
1. Power-Free Purity: Mixing by Design, Not Electricity
The IGS Water Static Mixer is a 316SS inline plate system that uses fundamental physics to achieve superior mixing:
- Zero Power, Zero Maintenance: The most remarkable feature is its simplicity. It requires no power to operate and no ongoing maintenance, making it an incredibly small and sustainable investment compared to mechanical mixers.
- Intense Turbulence: As water flows through the mixer, the internal plates generate continuous areas of high and low pressure. This creates intense turbulence, ensuring that any injected fluids or gasses—or even just the water itself—are thoroughly and instantly mixed.
2. The Chemical-Free Advantage: Self-Sterilizing Water
Beyond its function as a mixer, the IGS Static Mixer fundamentally alters the water itself, resulting in powerful, natural water conditioning:
- Altered Water Molecules: The turbulence and pressure changes alter the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
- High Zeta Potential: This results in a highly negative zeta potential on all water-contact surfaces, which promotes self-cleaning and sterilization. It becomes difficult for bacteria to survive and adhere to pipe walls or equipment.
- Barrier Against Pathogens: This physical-chemical change is essential for disease control. The system is proven to either kill or render vulnerable to oxidation tough pathogens like Cryptosporidium oocysts, protozoa, and nematodes.
3. Amplifying Performance and Reducing Costs
While the Static Mixer works wonders on its own, it also acts as the perfect enhancement device for conventional treatment methods:
- Supercharge Coagulation: The intense turbulence is ideal for the injection of coagulants and flocculants. The mixer amplifies these reactions, allowing for the removal of 50% more organics and significantly improving the performance of mechanical filters.
- Cut Chemical Consumption: The improved performance means you can save on costs. Users can see a reduction in biocide consumption and pH correction chemicals by up to 25%.
- Boost Disinfectants: By breaking up bacteria floc and physically preparing the water, the Static Mixer amplifies the performance of disinfectants like chlorine.
