Clarification Process in Water Treatment | Role Of Agitators

Water treatment is a complex yet vital process that ensures the water we consume is safe and free from impurities. At the heart of this process lies clarification—a series of meticulous steps that purify water by eliminating contaminants and particles, making it clearer and fit for consumption. The clarification process initiates with the addition of essential chemicals like coagulants and flocculants into the water. Coagulants, such as aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride, act by neutralizing the charge on suspended particles, causing them to clump together or coagulate. Subsequently, flocculants, typically polymers, bind these coagulated particles into larger, heavier masses known as flocs. Once this chemical reaction is complete, the water moves into a settling tank or basin. Here, gravity plays

Production of Bitumen and the Importance of Mixers.

Bitumen Production and Characteristics Bitumen, also known as asphalt, emerges either naturally or as a residue during crude oil distillation. It consists of complex hydrocarbon compounds, varying in metallic, sulfurous, nitrogenous, and oxygenated elements. Its applications span road construction, paint, and water-resistant coatings. This blogs talk about production of bitumen and importance of mixers. Dynamix Agitators holds exceptional and exclusive expertise in blending Bitumen. Moreover, our innovative mixer design approaches have been developed to optimize the Bitumen Delivery Process effectively at the plant. Bitumen Production Processes 1. Distillation Process The primary method involves crude oil distillation, where specific bitumen properties are achieved by carefully selecting crude oil feed and operational conditions. Distillation separates lighter fractions, leaving behind the atmospheric residue that undergoes vacuum

Sustainability in Mixing Processes

Mixing is an Art and a Science. All too often, those companies which do not understand the “Art” of mixing will simply overpower a mixer in the hopes of covering the inability to control mixing through Torque. Exploiting this mechanical advantage can offer great energy savings, as well as greatly improve the mixing and process control. In this article, we discuss the energy savings. Mixing is a common operation in fields such as chemical processing, food production, pharmaceuticals, and more. Sustainable mixing aims to reduce the environmental impact of these processes while maintaining or improving efficiency and product quality. Here are some key points and strategies related to sustainable mixing: Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient mixing involves optimizing the design and operation of

Mixing 101: Low rpm, High Torque Mixing

Mixing 101: Low rpm, High Torque Mixing In the process industry, there’s a strong focus on power as the defining characteristic in mixing. Many considerations are often left by the wayside when choosing a mixer. These factors can make or break the application. Relying solely on the G-Value or velocity gradient in mixer design leaves important information out of the equation. Focusing on the G-Value gives rise to the misconception that horsepower, rather than torque, is the critical factor determining mixing effectiveness. This method is effective for applications requiring high-sheer and turbulent flow, but this isn’t always the case. High-speed mixing introduces a host of additional considerations based on fluid viscosity, flow patterns, and shearing. Mixing Categories Different types of

Why Dynamix Focuses on Torque When Designing Mixers

At Dynamix we focus on torque as opposed to horsepower when designing our mixers. Torque is a parameter which is preferable in mixing. By using larger diameter impellers and higher gear ratios, higher torque is produced, and more efficient mixing can be obtained. This can be done without using a high horsepower motor and high mixer speeds (RPM). What is torque and horsepower? Horsepower is equal to the RPM times Torque, divided by 5252. Therefore, lower RPM gives higher torque at the same power. A simple way to think about torque versus horsepower, is to imagine a Semi Truck and a Formula 1 racing car. These vehicles, the truck and car, are known to have the largest towing
