MUNICIPAL SLUDGE NEUTRALISATION

KC6PV00170DD

The Challenge

We were contacted by an overseas municipal utility company responsible for urban wastewater treatment. They required a replacement mixer for one of their municipal sludge neutralisation plants using lime. The client's main priority was a perfectly interchangeable unit to prevent any structural modifications to the existing plant infrastructure.

The unit, configured as a continuous ploughshare mixer, strictly required a custom-positioned rectangular inlet built to drawing, a circular discharge outlet, and three inspection doors. Two of these doors had to be bolted down, while the third required quick and completely safe tool-free opening.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: KC6PV00170DCD continuous mixer
  • Material of construction: drum and end plates built in high thickness 316L stainless steel, with adjustable weir plate
  • Mild steel rotor shaft, with grease-purged seals
  • Mixing tools: adjustable, bolted ploughs and scrapers made of HB500 wear-resistant steel
  • 1 off. flanged rectangular inlet, custom made
  • 1 off. flanged, round vent port
  • 1 off. flanged round vertical outlet, custom made
  • 3 off. inspection doors (1 off. with interlock, 2 off. bolted)
  • Separate parallel drive, with flexible pin coupling (for VFD control), complete with a 3 kW electric motor

Key Benefits

  • Required capacity guaranteed
  • Flexibility completely satisfied – the unit integrated seamlessly into the existing installation
  • High resistance to abrasion/corrosion thanks to the “hybrid” configuration (316L SS and mild steel)
  • Low power consumption, modest investment, outstanding return on investment
