1. Managed compressed air is pulsed from an accumulator plate installed on the bottom of the tank, creating a shock wave that immediately displaces the liquid. The mixing process begins. |
|
2. The mixing process continues - as the air begins to form into a bubble above the accumulator plate. Liquid and sediment on the bottom the the tank are swept away from the plate. |
|
3. As the bubble begins its ascent, low pressure under the bubble draws liquid and sediment back to the accumulator plate. |
|
4. As the bubble rises, it forces liquid above it up and away. At the same time, the bubble pulls liquid and sediment from the bottom, where they are mixed with the lighter liquid in the volume. |
|
5. When the bubble breaks on the surface, the liquid movement changes direction from vertical to horizontal. This produces a surface mixing force that moves the liquid to the tank wall, where it travels down the side to the bottom, completing the mixing cycle. |
