Claro Big Bubble™ mixer systems are a proven patented anaerobic digester mixing technology that significantly reduces sludge disposal volumes & disposal costs, provides greater volatile solids destruction & overall biogas production, reduces sludge dewatering costs & presents very few oversight or maintenance requirements. This superior process performance is delivered at exceptionally low energy input.
Claro engineers have 35 years experience in the design & implementation of over 300 large & small metropolitan digester applications across Canada, the United States & abroad. We are the original designer & exclusive manufacturer of Big Bubble™ piston-bubble gas mixing systems.
Introducing a large piston-bubble at fixed intervals into the lower end of the mixing unit’s submerged draft tube, Claro Big Bubble™ mixers deliver up to 95% active tank volume & reduce digester tank maintenance by scouring the tank floor, continually de-stratifying tank contents, suspending heavier solids, & breaking floating scum.
The Claro Big Bubble™ bubble generator design—proven in major digester applications—has large internal clearances that resist clogging even in poorly screened tanks & is equipped with an added fail-safe feature: the mixer can be completely flushed out from outside the tank & without tank drainage. The system has no moving parts within the tank. Instead, it uses a quiet, low-maintenance, & all-316L-stainless-steel liquid ring biogas recirculation compressor.
Equipped with heat exchanger jackets, Claro Big Bubble™ Mixers can also integrate heating into the digester tank enabling the elimination of external heat exchangers, associated sludge pumps, & piping.
Please see details on our Gas Mixer Retrofit Program for the cost-effective & quick modernization of your existing gas or mechanical draft tube mixing system.
Two-phase/dual-stage, mesophilic, & thermophic anaerobic digestion systems available. Please see Claro Heat Exchangers & Heat Recovery.
