Seeking help with stirrer issues in a reactor
Thread Content
Recently, I designed a reaction vessel in which the reaction takes place in three stages, with significant changes in liquid level. Stirring is required for each stage; moreover, it is necessary to ensure thorough mixing of the liquid across all three stages. I planned to use a single-layer stirring system, but this approach does not work well for three stages. A double-layer system would require a large distance between the layers, so standard options cannot be used. Could some expert please advise on how to use it – should it be stirred, pushed forward, or at a rotation speed of two to three hundred revolutions?
Won’t you add an inverter? !
If a standard design isn’t available, just create a custom mixer! There are many factors to consider in the design of agitators, such as the viscosity and particle size of the mixture, the efficiency of mixing, the rotational speed of the agitator, and the tangential velocity of the impellers. Even aspects like the length-to-diameter ratio of the reactor, the distribution of its internal components, and the arrangement of baffle plates can have an impact on it.
Inverters are available. The current problem is that when using one stage, the liquid does not meet the mixing requirements; when using three stages, the liquid does not cover the mixer. If a double-layer design is used, this issue does not arise. Therefore, we seek guidance from technical experts. There are many issues to consider, so it’s not possible
