Hydra‑Bubble: The Future of Wastewater Mixing
Large bubble technology that slashes operating costs,
eliminates in-tank maintenance, and keeps systems clean and efficient
MIXING SOLUTIONS
Uses the physics of buoyancy and hydraulic flow to generate powerful mixing. Each rising bubble displaces water with natural force, driving efficient circulation, no moving parts, just amplified energy from nature itself.
Combines large-bubble mixing with microbubble aeration to hold oxygen in suspension longer and boost biological contact, multiplying treatment efficiency .
Uses large-bubble mixing to instantly disperse chemicals from top to bottom, ensuring fast, even distribution. The hydraulic rolling action enhances contact time and gentle agitation, making it ideal for flocculation and other chemistry-driven processes.
Hydra-Bubble™ Mixing Technology
Mixing by Nature.
Hydra-Bubble™ is more than just a mixing system—it’s a nature-inspired, low-maintenance solution built for the people who design, operate, and own water and wastewater treatment systems.
At the heart of the technology is a flagship 1.5 cubic foot submerged air accumulator that passively fills and forcefully releases large, low-pressure air slugs using only the laws of physics. No electronics. No moving parts. No headaches.
As each bubble rises, it behaves like a piston, displacing water and generating powerful vertical and radial mixing currents. This motion eliminates dead zones, lifts and suspends solids, and ensures uniform circulation from bottom to top. The result is consistent performance, dramatically reduced energy use, and lower operating costs—all without any moving parts below the surface.
Hydra-Bubble combines elegant physics with real-world reliability to deliver a truly complete mixing solution.
Hydra-Fusion Aeration System
Micro Meets Macro. Maximum Efficiency.
Hydra-Fusion™ combines fine-bubble aeration with Hydra-Bubble’s powerful mixing to create a highly efficient treatment environment. The large bubbles generate strong circulation that hold microbubbles in suspension 2–3 times longer, greatly improving oxygen transfer and biological contact.
The system is highly adaptable: Hydra-Fusion can be applied by pairing Hydra-Bubble with an existing fine-bubble aeration tank, or Hydra-Bubble units themselves can be outfitted with fine-bubble diffusers. This allows them to be used in-situ—such as in lagoons, drop-in installations, or other situations where flexible deployment is required.
This synergy keeps dissolved oxygen distributed evenly, prevents solids from settling, and enhances biological performance throughout the tank or lagoon. Hydra-Fusion turns two proven technologies into one optimized, energy-saving process—delivering results that outperform either system alone.
Hydra-Dose Chemical Delivery
Precision Dosing. Complete Distribution.
Hydra-Dose™ uses large-bubble mixing to instantly disperse chemicals from the bottom of the tank to the top, ensuring rapid, uniform contact. The dosing agent is first introduced directly into the Hydra-Dose unit, where it is briefly held until the moment when air begins rushing out of the unit. At that point, the agent is pulled into an intense zone of turbulence where water and air violently churn together, vigorously agitating and blending the solution.
From there, the air pulse launches the mixed chemical outward, entraining it into the surrounding water column. The release creates both an upward plume and a swirling lateral motion, which together carry the agent evenly through the full tank volume. This dynamic mixing ensures the solution is distributed consistently and effectively throughout the system.
Because the chemical disperses so quickly and thoroughly, control systems detect water-quality changes faster and adjust more accurately—reducing overdosing, cutting chemical waste, and lowering operating costs. The hydraulic rolling action also supports gentle, uniform suspension for applications like flocculation, where both contact time and stability are critical. Hydra-Dose turns simple air pulses into a smarter, cleaner, and more cost-effective way to dose and distribute treatment chemicals.

mixing Designed for Real-World Demands
Unmatched Mixing Power
Hydra-Bubble™ generates massive circulation with each air pulse, creating a rolling hydraulic action that sweeps the entire tank. Unlike mechanical mixers, there are no dead zones or corners where solids can settle. This ensures complete bottom-to-top mixing and keeps the whole volume of water active—whether in small process tanks or massive municipal basins. Operators gain confidence that their system is always fully engaged and free of buildup.
Energy Efficiency Without Compromise
By using large, low-pressure bubbles instead of high-speed impellers, Hydra-Bubble™ achieves superior mixing at a fraction of the energy cost. The natural buoyancy of air does the work, meaning less horsepower, less maintenance, and lower operating expenses. For engineers and owners, this translates into proven performance with measurable OPEX savings—without sacrificing reliability or process control.
Flexible, Operator-Friendly Design
Hydra-Bubble™ units are designed to be drop-in, anchor-mounted, and easy to install or relocate as needs change. They can be deployed in retrofits, lagoons, or new builds without costly infrastructure changes. Maintenance is minimal—no moving parts underwater, no gearboxes to fail—so operators spend less time troubleshooting and more time running their plant with confidence. The result is a solution that adapts to real-world demands and provides lasting peace of mind.
