i n n o v a t i o n f o r n a t u r eThe increasing strain on our environment is a problem,which affects us all. For years, water pollution, in particular, has begun to reachthreatening levels. At the same time the legislators are constantly settinghigher requirements on the quality of the wastewater. As a result, the applicationof innovative technology and processes for state of the art wastewater treatment is a necessity.INVENT is dedicated to the development of such technology, and strives to produceproducts which greatly contribute to the preservation of our environment. The continualprotection of our environment from damage due to harmful substances willbecome an even more important task in the future.With innovative environmental technology,INVENT is taking on this responsibility.

Thescope of products ranges thedimensioning and manufacturingof custom-made mixers andaeration systems to designingand delivering sophisticatedturn-key systems.INVENT became well knownthrough the development andmarket introduction of the energysavingand multi-tasking hyperboloid-mixerand mixing andaeration systems for wastewatertreatment. Today, INVENT offers awide scope of efficient stirring andmixing solutions for almost everyapplication in the water, wastewater,and process-technology.In the field of aeration technology,INVENT offers a range of membraneaeration systems for biologicalwastewater treatment, which havebeen developed and optimized forvarious applications. These aredistinguishable by their functionalprinciple, construction and material,so that an optimal solution canbe offered for almost all industrialand municipal requirements.Mechanical engineering componentswhich have been carefully dimensionedand are optimally compatible,result in a safe and efficiently workingplant, an INVENT system solution.In such cases, INVENT takes overtotal responsibility for projectmanagement, supply, erection,commissioning and maintenanceof the plant.INVENT’s engineering and consultingservices range from fluid mechanicaloptimizations of hydraulical structures orprocesses, to solving of chemical engineeringproblems presented, flow simultionsusing CFD or simulations of entire wastewatertretment plants. These tasks are supportedby laboratory research, if necessry.systemsolutionsAdditionally, INVENT offersa range of software tools whichsupport plant planners andoperators in the static dimensioningor dynamic simulation of wastewatertreatment plants. Routine processesare automated andcostly parameter studies aresimplified, allowing decisionsto be made more quickly andaccurately.For all applications, INVENT placesgreat importance on a targeted andwell-founded analysis of thecustomers´ requirements, in order tooptimally fulfill his needs.the inventteam

m i x i n g t e c h n o l o g ymixing and aeration in industrialwastewater treatment plantsThe success of INVENTUmwelt-und VerfahrenstechnikGmbH & Co.KG, is closelyconnected with the developmentand market introduction of thehyperboloid-mixers and mixeraerators in the early 1990s.The hyperboloid-mixers and themixing and aeration systems arehighly efficient instruments for:Intensification of mixing processes(e.g., neutralization,dosing of nutrients, etc.)precipitation and flocculationsuspension and homogenizationduring biological phosphorusremoval and de-nitrificationmixing with intermittent aerationin swing zones or SBRs 1mixing and aeration of sludgeholding tanksmixing, suspension,homogenization, and aeration(if necessary) of stormwatertanks, mixing and equalizationbasins and storage basinshomogenization and aerationof aerobic-thermophilic sludgetreatment plantsINVENT exclusively offers the hyperboloid-mixersfor any application,as one of the following variants:HYPERC LASSIC ®the classic hyperboloid-mixerwith a dry mounted motor1 SBR: Sequencing Batch ReaktorHYPERD IVE ®the hyperboloid-mixer with asubmersed motor

HYPERATOR ®the self aspirating hyperboloidmixerwith hollow shaftsHYPERF LASH ®the hyperboloid-mixer for“flash-mixing”, as necessaryin cases such as neutralizationHYPERF LOC ®the hyperboloid-mixerused for precipitation andflocculation processesIn addition, INVENT offers theH YPERP ITCH ® -floating sludgepaddle for the destruction offloating sludge which – beingshaft-mounted – mixes the sludgeand transports it along downstream.For carrousel basins and similarapplications in which horizontallydriven mixers are required, INVENToffers the H YPERF LOW ® range ofmixers, comprising slow and quickmoving, multi-bladed, propellermixers, which are notable fortheir outstanding efficiency andquietness in operation.Apart from the standard rangementioned above, INVENT alsooffers tailor-made mixers forindustrial applications, whichoptimally cater for specialprocesses.Just call us for further informationor visit us under www.invent-uv.de

aeration technologyTherefore, we can also offer ourcustomers customized aeration systemin the field of aeration technology.Influence factors like the composition ofwastewater, oxygen requirement, depthof injection, etc., decisively influencethe choice of an aeration system.INVENT can offer a whole range ofaeration systems, from mechanicallyoperated, hyperboloid stirring systemsand aeration systems for treatingindustrial wastewater, to variousmodels of membrane aeration systems.INVENT offers a wholescope of aeration systemsranging from mechanicallyoperating hyperboloidmixing and aeration systemsfor industrial wastewatertreatment, to variousmodels of membrane aerationsystems.The range on offer comprises:the robust mechanical mixingand aeration systemsH YPERC LASSIC ® , H YPERD IVE ®and H YPERATOR ®the proven, multi-applicableE-FLEX ® fine bubble aerationsystem which is based on tubemembranesTEXTUBE particularly robustaerator with medium-sizedbubble aeration,which is composedof an almostindestructibletextile membrane.All aeration systems can also bedelivered as liftable devices.This range can optimally cater toalmost all of the requirements, whichare encountered in municipal andindustrial plants.

s y s t e m s o l u t i o n sThis reduces the costs and interfacesnecessary and the entire package isprovided from one single source.To suit customers´ needs,INVENT will also take over thecomplete layout, planning,project management, supply andassembly, commissioning andservice of the plant.A complete HYPERSYSTEMS ® Solutioncomprises the engineering and thecomplete mechanical equipment forthe biological stage of a wastewatertreatment plant.

e n g i n e e r i n g & c o n s u l t i n gX1,4 1,6 m/sZThe field of engineering andconsulting takes into accountYthe strongly increasing demandfor outsourced engineeringservices. INVENT specializes itselfin the three areas of mechanicalengineering, fluid dynamics andplant optimization.In particular, the mechanicalengineering area comprises – apartfrom design contracts – optimizationof components and static analysis,using the finite element method(FEM). Modern 2D and 3D softwarepackages are used as design tools.In this way, even sophisticateddesign tasks can be economicallyexecuted.ZThe service package for „FluidMechanics“ is seamless. Due tothe use of 3D design tools, newlydeveloped parts go through aYrange of fluid mechanical testswithout delay. INVENT offers twoprocedures. One of which isdirectly performed in INVENT'sfluid dynamics laboratory, viarapid prototyping, where the mostmodern laser and ultrasonicThe measuring of turbulent flowmeasuring equipment techniques are fields, using laser and ultrasonicused to determine turbulent fields ofmeasuring equipmentvelocity. Here all standard methodstechniques, either as a model,of measurement and visualization of in technical scale or on the spotflow fields are also available.

s o f t w a r e p r o d u c t sOur objective is to developand offer intelligent anduser-friendly software, whichwill enable planners, plantbuilders and operators tolayout, define, simulate andoptimize the operation inprocess engineering plants.Our standard offer is composedof ANAwin and Capdet, twointernationally proven layoutprograms for static dimensioning,as well as GPS-X, the world'sleading software package for thedynamic simulation of wastewatertreatment plants. Additionally, weoffer special solutions to customdesign components such as mixers,aeration systems, pipe work orother components.Our extensive experience indeveloping software solutionsenables us to develop and supplypackages, which can be integratedinto a Customer RelationshipManagement (CRM) system.For the material processing industry,the software package “IMPT” hasbeen developed for laying out mixingtank reactors. This software comprisesall practicable mixing tasks (includingmicro-mixing) and mixers. It can alsobe extended into a specializedsystem and can be supplied withinterfaces to all current CFD programs.
