INVENT made a significant contribution to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of such plants by introducing the hyperboloid mixing technology to the market for water and wastewater treatment over 20 years ago.
Since then, the hyperboloid mixing technology has been continuously developed and improved. Thousands of successful installations in municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment plants world-wide impressively demonstrate that the hyperboloid mixing technology has already become the industrial standard in this field of application.
With the current version HYPERCLASSIC® evolution 7, the seventh, completely revised and revolutionary improved version of the classic hyperboloid mixer is now available.
The HYPERCLASSIC®– Flocculation System is based on the patented hyperboloid mixer, which outshines as a result of its minimum shear forces combined with excellent mixing and sedimentation-free properties.
Given its relatively long yet gentle acceleration path along the agitator body, shear forces on the particle flocs are reduced.
Dead zones are effectively avoided by distributing the outflow radially away from the agitator body, across the bottom and into the corners of the basin. This reliably keeps flocs from settling.
Uniform mixing of the entire basin contents allows ensures that particles interact frequently, resulting in maximum floc growth.
The INVENT HYPERDIVE® - Mixer is a vertical mixer with a hyperboloid-shaped mixer body, installed close to the bottom, and a submersible drive. Contrary to other products, it was developed and designed especially for applications in the area of water and wastewater Treatment.
Stratification in drinking water reservoirs represents a big risk. During the stratification process, different water layers with different temperatures occur. There is no fluid exchange between these layers which leads to longer dwell times for a part of the water and thus to algal formation, subsequent germination and/or uncontrolled chemical concentrations. All this can easily be prevented by the implementation of the INVENT HYPERMIX®- Agitator developed especially for complete volume movement.
IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Container), tote, or pallet tanks are often used for the transport and storage of bulk liquids, such as chemi¬cals, flocculants, coagulants, food and beverage ingredients, paint and coatings pre-products or final products, or other commodities. Many of these products or pre-products consist of more than one phase, and segregate if the suspension is not mixed continuously or at least before the liquid suspension or liquid/liquid mixture is withdrawn from the tank. For any of such applications the INVENT iBC Mix is an easy solution for container mixing.
The INVENT iBC Mix is designed for the continuous operation in steel caged IBC tanks of va¬rious standard sizes and liquids of different composi¬tion, viscosity, and rheology. It consists of an AC drive unit, a docking traverse, the shaft and an impeller of application dependent design. The INVENT iBC Mix has a wide range of applications. It can be used for the continuous mixing of chemicals,...

The INVENT CYBERFLOW®- Accelerator has been specially developed and optimised for the energy-efficient the generation of a horizontal flow in the recirculation basin for biological wastewater treatment. The overall fluid mechanics concept used here is revolutionary in comparison to conventional flow generators. This results in improvements in the level of efficiency of up to 30%, irrespective of the application. This is made possible by a holistic, fluid mechanics optimisation approach which considers not only the propeller design, but the entire machine in the interaction with the flow passage. This approach is based on the knowledge that themes which have so far been ignored, for example the
• installation location
• installation position
• flow direction
• incident flow
• wake
• design of the foot
play an important role in addition to the propeller design for the overall level of efficiency of a horizontal flow a...

One of the key-parameters for the overall energy efficiency of a biological wastewater treatment plant is the ability to produce a high amount of methane gas in the waste sludge digesters. The more gas can be delivered to the biogas motors, the more energy can be produced to run the various machinery compo¬nents on the plant. The amount of the gas production in a sludge digester depends on the quality of the sludge and the correct mixing, circulation, and homogenization of the waste sludge in the digester.
INVENT’s fluid mechanical know-how, it’s vast experience in the field of mixing, combined with its pas¬sion for developing innovative products, has led to CYBERSLUDGE®, the INVENT Mixing System for sludge digesters.
The INVENT HYPERCLASSIC®- Mixing and Aeration System was developed and optimized especially for demanding applications in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. It provides efficient oxygen transfer and optimal mixing during the biological stage.
In addition to the task of introducing oxygen, it also fulfils the important function of mixing and avoiding sedimentation. Due to the mechanical aeration method, the oxygen transfer performance is nearly as high in wastewater as it is in pure water. Even after many years, the aeration performance is not diminished. The system's pressure loss remains constantly low. The system can be installed simply and quickly, even in a filled tank.
For the important task of mixing and aeration in aerated lagoon treatment plants the engineer or
operator had only two options until today: He could either use surface aerators or floating membrane
aerators. While the surface aerators usually do not provide economical oxygen transfer performance and
insufficient mixing, the floating membrane aerators have to overaerate to provide sufficient mixing.
With the HYPERCLASSIC®-Mixer/Aerator on a float INVENT makes its proven hyperboloid mixing and
aeration technology available for the application in aerated lagoons for the very first time.
The INVENT HYPERDIVE®- Mixing and Aeration System was developed and optimized especially for demanding applications in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. It provides efficient oxygen transfer and optimal mixing during the biological stage.

INVENT E-FLEX® is the ideal aerator for municipal and industrial treatment plants. It efficiently supplies the mixed liquor in the activated sludge tank with oxygen and is suitable for almost all variations of the activated sludge process.
E-FLEX®- Diffusers are used as modular components in an aeration system. Single modules are connected via separate air supply to the main air header. The modular design features trouble-free and quick installation and minimum effort for maintenance. The liftable version is part of our standard product range.
E-FLEX®- FLOAT is the floating version of our proven E-FLEX®- Aeration System. It is mainly used for aerated wastewater ponds or lagoon tanks with plastic liner, earthen basins with natural sealing, natural ponds and lakes and all aerated tanks, in which the levelling of conventional bottom aerators is only possible with considerable effort due to the unevenness of the bottom.
The E-FLEX®- FLOAT Aeration System is a so-called „chain aeration system" based on multiple aeration chains, which can move through the activated sludge tank at right angles to their longitudinal axis. One single „chain" consists of a floating air header, which simultaneously serves as a buoyancy body. Individual aeration modules are connected at regular intervals to this floating header via flexible downpipes.
The TEX-FLEX®- Aeration System has been specially developed and optimized for demanding applications in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. For industrial applications in particular, the use of conventional membrane diffusrers is restricted or even impossible, or else they must be frequently replaced in order to guarantee trouble-free operation of the plant. In this situation, the TEX-FLEX®- System provides a reliable alternative. Its robust stainless steel construction and its textile membrane, which is both chemically and thermally highly resistant, make it ideal for the most aggressive applications.
The system is quick and simple to install, and can also be supplied as a removable module. The system can then be inserted into and removed from filled basins.
The INVENT Coarse Bubble Aeration system (iCBA®) has been developed and optimised for special applications in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. It provides oxygen supply and optimal mixing during the biological phase, in particular for use in processes that use carrier media for biomass detention, whether moving-bed or fixed-bed processing.
Its robust stainless steel construction make it ideal for the most adverse conditions in industrial applications. The operational limits of conventional membrane aerators, such as high air temperatures or problematic wastewater ingredients, do not present a problem for the iCBA®- Aeration System.
The INVENT iDISC® has been developed and optimized for the use in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. It efficiently supplies the mixed liquor in the activated sludge tank with oxygen and is suitable for almost all variations of the activated sludge process.
iDISC®- Diffuser systems are tailor-made to match the needs of every single plant. Its robust construction and high quality makes it ideal for most wastewater treatment applications.
The INVENT ALPHAMETER® combines control and monitoring liquid phase and gas phase to produce real time measurement of key parameters for process and aeration control including:
• Aeration System Oxygen Transfer Efficiency (αOTE)
• Process Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR)
• Mixed Liquor α Value
Accurate knowledge values of these parameters allows a new approach to understanding and control process and aeration system performance.
The INVENT ALPHAMETER® opens the door to a new world in aeration system control and achieves substantial energy saving.
The development of the iDEC®-SBR Decanting System was based on the well known features a decanting system which collects and discharges purified wastewater out of Sequencing Batch Reactors is expected to show. Before the INVENT-decanters were created, different types of effluent discharge constructions were used in the market with mixed results. This was the reason for INVENT to develop the new iDEC® SBR -Decanting System.
The iDEC® SBR Decanting System was developed for the discharge of clarified wastewater from SBRs.
INVENT has a long tradition of providing energy efficient products, systems and solutions for wastewater treatment plants around the world. The iTURBO® – Compressor is specially suited for supplying air to aeration systems in activated sludge plants. The iTURBO® – Compressor is a single stage high-speed turbo compressor.
This modern, fre-quency controlled machine has no gears and fea-tures lubricant-free airfoil bearings, guaranteeing an economical, reliable low maintenance operation. The iTURBO® is designed for the lowest energy use over a wide range of air flows and pressures.
The iTURBO® complements INVENT’s line of high efficiency aeration systems and aeration control products, maximizing system performance while minimizing energy costs.
High-tech for tertiary wastewater treatment
The reuse of water directly after it has been treated in a wastewater treatment plant is increasingly gaining in importance. A fundamental part of tertiary wastewater treatment is the added filtration. It is the basis for further steps of conditioning towards water recycling, such as a fourth treatment stage, separation of microplastics, retention of phosphorus, or disinfection.
The INVENT iFILT-diamond filter was constructed especially for the separation of solids from fluids as the next treatment phase after secondary sedimentation. It removes the smallest suspended solids that are still present in wastewater, for example
- activated sludge flakes
- precipitation flakes after phosphorus reduction
- powdered activated carbon
- microplastics
In the area of industrial wastewater treatment the iFILT-diamond filter is applied in the following areas (examples):
- general reuse of pr...
