Solution

Transvac installed a stainless steel Jet mixing system on a pipework manifold. A total of seventeen transvac size 4 Jet Mixers were used in each tank discharging four times the liquor flow provided by the motive pump. Additional secondary mixing induced by the Mixer discharge plumes further enhanced the mixing pattern. Using a 15 kW Centrifugal Pump to provide the mixing energy of 11 watts/m3 the Jet mixers induced a tank turnover rate of less than 1.6 hours (at max. liquor level) which ensured the whole contents were thoroughly mixed.

Advantages of Jet Mixers

• No moving parts
• No splashing or aerosol created
• Operates at variable depths
• No bridges or bearings used
• No in-tank maintenance needed
• Evenly distributes mixing
• Controllable mixing
• Simple, reliable and robust
