Perfecting the process: mixing in wastewater treatment
Your FAQs on optimising mixing with the Flygt 4530 answered
With pressure rising across the board to increase process efficiency, cut costs and meet sustainability targets, it’s time for mixing to take centre stage. To explain more, Hanna Do, Global Product Manager at Xylem, shines the spotlight on the Flygt 4530 hybrid mixer, answering some of the frequently asked questions.
Flygt 4530 is a hybrid submersible mixer that combines the efficiency and performance of a low speed mixer with the footprint of a high speed compact mixer. The 4530 maximises its efficiency with its 1.2m stainless steel propeller and IE3 equivalent motor, while being small enough to be wall mounted on a single guide bar. It’s the ideal solution where efficiency is a priority and the mixer needs to be wall mounted.
Flygt 4530 is a high-performance compact mixer, which delivers high efficiency, reliability, reduction in operational costs, IE3 equivalent motor, and ease of installation benefits. It not only performs highly against comparable mixers on the market but also Flygt’s midsize mixer range. Plus, it’s backed by Xylem’s decades of experience and expertise, as well as ongoing global service and support for peace of mind.
Yes! This medium-sized submersible mixer is ideal for use in activated sludge systems, sludge holding tanks, and digesters where space limitations rule out full-size low-speed mixers, but where a compact mixer may not achieve the efficiency needed. It offers all the power of a full-size mixer, with a compact footprint. When it comes to installation, it’s easily installed or retrofitted as it can fit on a 100x100mm or 100x150mm guide bar.
You can reduce OPEX with the Flygt 4530, as this mixer delivers more than just high-performance due to its IE3 equivalent motor and 1.2m stainless steel propeller. It offers energy efficiency, low maintenance (with maintenance intervals extending up to 50,000 hours of operations) and reliability, all of which help optimise costs.
Energy efficiency is one of the main features of the Flygt 4530. Thanks to the high efficiency design, from the IE3 equivalent motor to the advanced 1.2m stainless steel propeller, it cuts power costs by 50%. The 4530 delivers maximum thrust with minimal power consumption for significant energy – and cost – savings compared to high-speed mixers.
