Static Mixers are a series of geometric mixing elements fixed within a pipe which use the flow stream to create mixing between two or more fluids. Static Mixers are used to mix liquid-liquid, liquid-gas and gas-gas. Finepac Structures study mixing application & accordingly design the efficient & fabricate the static mixer.
Features :
- The device consists of mixer elements contained in a cylindrical or squared housing and element consist of series of Multidirectional channels
- Material of Construction in :
- Ss316
- Ss304
- Special Alloy Exotic Metal
- PTFE lining
Advantages :
- No needs of Tanks, agitator etc
- Available in very compact size
- No moving parts
- Low pressure dry
- Shorter in length
Static Mixer is used in different mixing tasks like :
- Blending : Two Soluble components are mixed together to achieve homogeneity
- Dispersing : Two insoluble components are mixed together to achieve required droplet size and Mass transfer
Parameter for Designing Mixer :
- Flow Rate of each component to be mixed
- Viscosities, surface tension and specific gravity
- Viscosity important parameter in mixer designing. Viscosity ratio of various streams is most important for mixing efficiency
Typical Examples :
- Mixing of reactants in nitration plant
- Waste water treatment plant & sugar industry
- Chemical & Petrochemical industries, Drug formation, Unit : mixing of ingredients
- Air/Ammonia gas mixing in case of nitric acid plant
- Water Heating
- Mixing of Petroleum Components
- Diluting Concentration & Mixing Flavoring
