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. We would use our A310, A510, A6000, A320 or A340 impeller for two-phase solid suspension of concentrate ore.

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.

Pulp and Paper Agitation is no stranger to LIGHTNIN.
With over 10,000 installations world wide and a strong technical background including world class Research and Development Sites, LIGHTNIN is a leader in mixing technology for the Pulp and Paper Market. Agitation is critical to many unit operations in pulp and paper mills:

In the 1930s...

LIGHTNIN helped pharmaceutical manufacturers revolutionize the production of antibiotics by introducing oxygen into culture broths.

During the 1950s...

LIGHTNIN introduced the multiple Rushton turbine impeller configurations still commonly used in pharmaceutical fermentation.

In the early 1980s...

LIGHTNIN introduced hydrofoil impeller technology for flow-controlled operations.

LIGHTNIN side-entry mixers are used for a variety of blending, mixing and storage applications:

Select Lightnin equipment and you get more than an efficient and cost effective process. You get over 75 years of experience in superior processing technology. For starters we were the first to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This experience has enabled us to design and develop products specifically for minerals processing way into the 21st century. Our laboratory is a standard for the business, and allows us to optimize your process, from pilot to full-scale testing. Your benefits are lower production costs, greater output, resulting in higher profits. We guarantee it!

Since the 1970s, LIGHTNIN has supplied mixers to plants all over the world. Our extensive experience enables us to specify the best combination of mixer and impeller for optimum performance in FGD applications.

Mixing in the FGD Process

Mixing is essential in every stage of the FGD process:
