Hydra-Bubble™ Large-Bubble Wastewater Mixing System
Engineered for hydraulic circulation and solids suspension.
Hydra-Bubble™ is a low-pressure, large-bubble wastewater mixing system engineered to generate full-depth hydraulic circulation in municipal and industrial treatment basins. The system utilizes a submerged air accumulator to release controlled, high-volume air slugs that drive vertical and radial flow throughout the tank.
This buoyancy-driven mixing approach supports uniform solids suspension and stable basin conditions without submerged rotating mechanical assemblies. Mixing intensity is governed by airflow rate and system layout, allowing predictable performance across varying basin geometries and depths.
Hydra-Bubble™ Large-Bubble Wastewater Mixing System
How the system generates full-depth hydraulic circulation.
Hydra-Bubble™ uses a submerged air accumulator that passively fills from a low-pressure blower supply and releases controlled, high-volume air slugs on a repeatable cycle.
Each release forms a coherent large bubble that rises like a buoyant piston—displacing water vertically while inducing radial circulation across the basin. This repeating displacement creates full-column turnover and uniform circulation patterns that scale with basin depth and geometry.
Because mixing energy is transferred through buoyancy-driven displacement rather than rotating mechanical assemblies, Hydra-Bubble delivers predictable basin circulation with simplified submerged infrastructure.
Mixing Designed for Real-World Demands
Full-Column Basin Coverage
Each air release drives vertical lift and outward radial flow, producing a rolling hydraulic circulation pattern that reaches floor-to-surface. This distributed mixing action helps maintain consistent conditions across the full basin volume, especially in deeper tanks where turnover uniformity matters most.
Energy Delivered Through Buoyancy
Hydra-Bubble transfers energy into the water column through controlled displacement rather than high-speed rotation. This approach reduces wasted energy at localized turbulence points and supports efficient bulk circulation that can be tuned by airflow rate and unit count.
Practical for Retrofits and New Builds
The system is well-suited for drop-in retrofit upgrades and new construction layouts. Installation planning is supported with basin-specific CAD deliverables and spacing guidance to match geometry, depth, and mixing objectives.
A Different Approach to Wastewater Mixing
Not mechanical. Not high-pressure. Physics-driven.
Most basin mixing approaches rely on either torque-driven mechanical agitation or high-pressure injection hardware. Hydra-Bubble uses buoyancy-driven displacement to create bulk hydraulic circulation throughout the basin.
The result is full-column turnover delivered through repeatable air-release cycles, with mixing intensity tuned by airflow and layout rather than rotating submerged equipment or elevated pressure injection components.
Lower Energy Demand. Reduced Complexity.
Low-Pressure Air Supply
Hydra-Bubble operates using low-pressure blower air rather than compressor-driven high pressure injection. This supports efficient mixing while simplifying air supply equipment and reducing pressure-related losses.
Efficient Bulk Circulation
Mixing energy is delivered through basin-scale circulation patterns instead of localized turbulence. This improves how much of the input energy contributes to whole-tank turnover and solids suspension.
Simplified Submerged Infrastructure
The system avoids rotating submerged assemblies and concentrates complexity above grade where access is easier. Fewer submerged failure points support predictable uptime and simpler maintenance planning.
Scales by Layout, Not Torque
Performance scales by unit count, spacing, and airflow tuning, allowing designs to match basin geometry without escalating mechanical horsepower or adding complex submerged drivetrains.
