Slurry Pipelines and Storage
Just about every step in minerals processing recovery depends on suspending solids or a flow stream mixed uniformly with a liquid or gas. We can help you manage the many variables that influence the throughput of your entire process.
Lightnin offers a full family of axial flow impellers for the different levels of solid suspension required for slurry storage.
Water and Wastewater Treatment
LIGHTNIN mixer and impeller systems are used in all stages of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment, including:
- rapid mixing
- chemical makeup and storage
- sludge holding and digestion
- equalization and neutralization
- flocculation
- activated carbon slurry mixing
- aeration
- disinfection
LIGHTNIN understands every phase of water and wastewater treatment. We combine this process knowhow with LIGHTNIN mixing technology and the complete range of mixers and impeller designs to optimize your results
Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
You can find LIGHTNIN mixers at work in cGMP facilities for both upstream and downstream pharmaceutical processes, including:
- vaccine production
- antibiotics
- mammalian cell cultures
- blood factors
- injectables
- buffer solutions
Flue Gas Desulfurization
Lightnin has successfully applied hundreds of Top and Side Entry agitators for flue gas desulfurization processes, from the very first FGD installation in the 1960’s at the Lawrence Energy Center to today’s modern power plants.
Since the first installation, the Boiler Systems have advanced considerably from the multiple Absorber Towers per Boiler in the 1970’s and 80’s to today’s systems with a single tower per Boiler, capable of operation for extended periods without shutdown.
At Lightnin, we bring 90 years of mixing experience to your flue gas desulphurization (FGD) process. We believe that getting the job done right means providing the degree of mixing you need while striking the best balance of capital cost, energy consumption, and reliability.
