The Mixing arena is the Boxing ring where Chemist and Chemical Engineer fight In the work done for synthesising a Chemical molecule, what % is the mass transfer, reaction and mixing and what % is separation Mixing can be demystified 3. Theres many a slip between the Plant and the Lab. Agitator Design and Selection Standard Food for Thought You wanted to STIR THINGS UP But, your MIXING gave only AGITATION. Medium and high viscosity blending, high concentration solids suspension, light duty gas dispersion. In addition, the Hydrofoil impeller can be used in three phase, solid-liquid-gas, mineral applications where relatively low gassing duty and relatively high solids concentration are present. However, the wider blades and slightly higher power number compared to the LSV also permit it to operate in low viscosity shear thinning slurries and fluids.įor operation in gas dispersion applications utilizing up-pumping configurations, the MHS serves as a secondary dispersing/blending impeller to compliment the lower primary gas dispersing impeller in high gas load applications such as fermenters. The MHS Hydrofoil agitator impeller shares efficiency benefits with the LSV in terms of hydraulic efficiency, low power number, and solid suspension performance when compared to a Pitched Blade Turbine (PBT).

The MHShydrofoil agitator impeller should be implemented in solids suspension applications when the solids concentration reach a point where the particles influence the slurry viscosity and require an impeller designed for slightly viscous mixing applications.

The MHS or High Solidity Hydrofoil impeller provides a wide blade hydrofoil design intended for medium viscosity or transitional-turbulent flow regime blending operations and high concentration solids suspension.
