ABSTRACT

Generally, three types of mixers are used in the physical-chemical treatment of water and wastewater: rotational, pneumatic, and hydraulic mixers.

Rotational mixers

are

mixers that use a rotating element to effect the agitation;

pneumatic mixers

are mixers that use gas or air bubbles to induce the agitation; and

hydraulic mixers

are mixers that utilize for the mixing process the agitation that results in the flowing of the water.
