As a leading manufacturer in the industrial pump industry, Nikuni Co., Ltd. is constantly working to develop new technologies.
This article introduces our established mixing technology for mixing gases and liquids and the revolutionary mixing systen that uses it.
What is Nikuni's regenerative turbo mixer KTM
Regenerative turbo mixer KTM is a system for efficiently suctioning, stirring, mixing, dissolving, and pumping "gas and liquid (gas-liquid),” "liquid and liquid (binary liquid)," and "powder and liquid (powder-liquid)" media. It refines functional water by mixing and dissolving various gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, ozone, CO2, hydrogen gas, and chlorine in water or liquid. Furthermore, it excels in the function of transporting as a high-pressure pump.
■ Features of rregenerative turbo mixer KTM
◎ Three functions in single machine
One KTM regenerative turbo mixer handles: suction → mixing/dissolving → pumping. It has the functions of a pump, ejector, and mixer.
◎ Efficient mixing and dissolving
Special mixing blades efficiently and continuously mix and dissolve "liquids and liquids," "gases and liquids," and "powders and liquids" that are difficult to dissolve.
◎ Compact, lightweight, space-saving
No need for large pressure tanks, ejectors, and static mixers to promote dissolution! System becomes much more compact than conventional methods.
◎ Easy to operate and maintain
Once the degree of valve opening/closing is adjusted at the beginning, the same functional water can be refined by simply turning the valve ON and OFF the next time. Maintenance is also easy due to the small number of components!
Nikuni's mixing and pumping technology contributes to all industries
KTM not only replaces static mixers, but also achieves a level of highly efficient gas-liquid dissolution that is not possible with conventional methods. It also plays an active role in the generation of highly concentrated microbubbles, emulsification, and refining of emulsion fuels.

Case Studies in Southeast Asia | KTM
KTM has been adopted one after another in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The system is highly regarded for its compactness and light weight, eliminating the need for static mixers and large tanks.
■ Water Treatment Facilities | Thailand/Indonesia
・Aeration (oxygen gas)
・pH treatment and neutralization of wastewater (carbon dioxide)
・Ozone decolorization/deodorization, sterilization, algae control (ozone gas), etc. of wastewater
■ Shrimp Farming Facilities｜Thailand
・Aeration and circulation (oxygen gas) in fish tanks
・Freshness maintenance during transportation (nitrogen gas), etc.
Nikuni's proprietary gas-liquid mixing technology has achieved what was previously impossible, including the development of microbubble generators. Further utilization of this technology is expected in the future.
