Optimum Turbine Agitator Selection

The ChemScale design procedure was developed to provide a logic for customers to quantify and define the agitation problem, specify required information for the design of an agitator, provide a communication tool for the customer and vendor to select a turbine agitator, and to optimize the agitator for the specific process at hand.

Applications of turbine agitators in the CPI (Chemical Process Industry) involve one or more of the following objectives:  Combining process liquids of dissimilar composition and properties (Bulk Mixing), distributing reactants and products to promote desired reactions (Chemical Reaction), increasing convective motions adjacent to the transport surfaces (Heat Transfer), promoting contact between separate phases and different compositions (Mass Transfer), and dispersing immiscible liquids, suspending solids, or dispersing gases (Phase Interaction).
