A mixing tank with a volume of 45 cubic meters in PVC suspension polymerization?

This post was last edited by sunjl1981 on 2013-1-6 at 23:29. I am currently working on a course project involving the design of a facility with a production capacity of 3000 tons per year; I need to determine the specifications and mixing power requirements for the mixing tank. So far, I have only calculated that the volume of the mixing tank is 45 cubic meters. I’m not sure what to do next I don’t know where I can find information on the viscosity, particle size, and other properties of the slurry obtained after polymerization in PVC suspension polymerization What is the general range? Are there any standards or references regarding the model numbers of mixing tank equipment? I hope someone with expertise can give me some advice Thank you # , , &

3000T/year, using a 45-cubic-meter mixing tank – is that too large?

The density of the resin is around 1.4, and its viscosity is slightly higher than that of water; the specific viscosity depends on the production formula and manufacturing process. The mixing power for a typical slurry tank is designed to be 0.4 kilowatts per cubic meter; its main purpose is to prevent the slurry from settling, and full mixing is not necessary. Generally, bottom-mounted paddle agitators are used in mixing tanks with a capacity of 45 cubic meters.
