The power and simplicity of bubble mixing, sequentially injecting compressed air (or any inert gas) beneath discs (accumulator plates) at the bottom of the tank, is the heart and genesis of PULSAIR Systems, Inc. The idea was developed by Richard E. Parks in 1979 as an effective method for brining salmon eggs without breaking them. While working on the challenges of mixing salmon eggs, Parks saw an opportunity to improve the way lubricants are blended.

Officially organized in 1987, PULSAIR Systems, Inc. has enjoyed many successes and a steady sales growth in the lubricant blending industry, with system sales to all of the major Fortune 100 petroleum companies. Continued success, growth and acceptance of the PULSAIR technology as a superior mixing solution has allowed the company to develop other industrial and municipal mixing applications. Subsequently, PULSAIR Systems, Inc. has successfully sold its technology in the pulp and paper, wastewater, nuclear waste, adhesives, paint and coatings, and food and beverage industries.

The Company was formally organized as a service company specialized in the engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing of industrial mixing solutions. Pulsair Systems, Inc.'s purpose and supporting values have been to provide customers with superior products and services. The company has perpetuated and sustained high standards of service and product quality by recognizing, hiring and developing outstanding personnel throughout its field rep agency and home office. Pulsair's most prized assets are its customers, representatives and personnel.

Recognizing these assets, the company chooses to move forward only into those areas where it can contribute to the well being and betterment of its customers, field representatives and employees.

Customers achieve the PULSAIR advantage because of the company's organizational values, and the fact that the mixer has no moving parts, motors, pumps, seals or bearings that can fail inside the tank. Additionally, PULSAIR consumes a small amount of compressed air (or inert gas), and requires almost no annual maintenance.

The pulsed bubble's power source is the specific gravity of the liquid being mixed. An unlimited energy source, specific gravity is free and very powerful. Using PULSAIR, the liquid's mixing power will quickly involve the entire tank's liquid contents with a minimal amount of energy consumption.

Technology

Pulsair Systems designs custom and off the shelf efficient mixing systems for vessels, tanks, basins, totes, drum, rail car and more. Pulsair is able to create a circulation pattern in the tank by controlling the release of compressed air or gas.

How Pulsair Works

Pulsair's technology is a "pulsed air technology" process which is the sequential release of compressed air or gas at the bottom of a tank, vessel or basin for the purpose of creating circulation and mixing. Measured amounts of high pressure air or gas are injected "pulsed" under flat round discs called accumulator plates installed on the tank bottom.

This sudden release of air shocks the liquid, setting molecules in motion. As the air "squeezes out" between the plate and tank floor, it sweeps out the heavier liquids and solids. The air then accumulates above the plate into very large, single oval shaped bubble. The bubble rises to the surface, a vacuum is created that pulls the heavier bottom liquids and solids up with it. As the bubble rises it also pushes the liquid above it up and out towards the tank perimeter. The liquid moves toward the sides of the tank and travels down the tank wall to the bottom. With no moving parts and minimal maintenance, pulsed air technology significantly reduces the need for maintenance and the associated costs and downtime.

Why Pulsair?

Pneumatic mixing and blending is the most efficient method for mixing non-shear fluids. For over 25-years, Pulsair Systems has proven time and time again in multiple applications and tank sizes that this mixing process is more efficient, uses less energy and requires less maintenance than mechanical mixers.

Benefits of the Pulsair tank mixing process:

• Up to 95% more energy efficient than mechanical mixers
• Vertical mixing process suitable for any size tank or vessel
• Uniformly mixes 100% of tanks's contents at any liquid level
• Eliminates need for separate mixing equipment outside the tank (eductors, mud mixers etc)
• Better tank utilization
• Improve and helps automate operations
• Reduce mixing times and eliminates downtime
• Easily maintains homogeneous mixture and uniform temperature
• Eliminates need for costly electrical mixers that need to be explosion proof
• Pulsair industrial mixers will fit any size tank geometry or capacity (5 to 5 million gallons)
