| Introduction |
|
Sulzer's
Static Mixers are
designed on the basic
principle of intersecting
open flow channels.
Static Mixers are
suitable for gaseous,
liquid and solid phases.
Static mixing means
homogenization without
using any moving parts.

Static
mixing units are used in continuous
processes. The mixing action
is achieved by the continuous
splitting, extension and transposition
of components. Differences
in concentration, temperature
and velocity are equalized
over the flow cross-section.
The pumps or blowers delivering
the components to be mixed
at predetermined rates to
the static mixing unit, supply
the energy needed for mixing.
Since static mixing units
produce little back mixing,
components must always be
fed at a constant rate.
Static mixing units are used
not only for simple blending,
but also where heat &
mass transfer operations or
chemical reactions are involved.
Such processes require in
addition to pure blending,
good heat & mass transfer,
uniform residence time, and
(where two or more phases
are involved), intimate dispersing
and contacting. |
| Features |
|
| The
design principle of
Sulzer mixers with
their open and intersection
channels is unique.
Mixing is not random
but is governed by
a reproducible, geometric
mode of operation.
They exhibit low pressure
drops. So the energy
demand and operating
costs are low. Sulzer
mixers have no moving
parts. The need for
motors and electrical
wiring is eliminated.
This results in comparatively
lower investment.
Going by their working,
the efficiency of
Sulzer Mixers is outstanding,
even with fluctuating
throughputs. |

| Industrial
Applications |
|
| Sulzer
mixers are increasingly
finding use in a variety
of industries due
to their proven advantages.
Low investments and
operating costs are
the reasons for their
use in following process
industries for mixing
and reaction duties.
Petroleum, Natural
Gas, Refineries Petrochemicals,
Chemicals Polymer
Production and Plastic
Processing Pulp and
Paper Industry Cosmetics,
Detergents Foods Water
and Wastewater Treatment
Environment Protection. |
