Emulsion Hybrid Mixing System
The combination of Rotary Agitator and Static Inline Mixer gave the desired shearing for this oil water emulsion application. Both these mixers are kept in simultaneous operation.. Since the agitator is operated under turbulent conditions, it was adequately sized and designed to withstand the unbalanced hydraulic forces imparted by the recirculation stream.
The above combination of Static Mixer and Mechanical Agitator gave excellent oil / water emulsion , which was confirmed by testing in the Centrifuge Separator.
Advantages
1. Low Capital and Installation cost
2. Low Operating speed and hence easy to maintain.
3. Efficient Blending
4. Low Power Consumption.
Cutting Oil -- Oil / Water emulsion in the cutting oil process is an important unit operation. This is a complex and sensitive blending operation and calls for reasonable shearing of droplet size to ensure that the two phases do not separate out.
On the basis
of earlier experience, the customer had been successfully using High Shear
Mixer [ Rotor-Stator mixer ] for this application. Since this high shear mixing
system appeared to be inherently expensive, they were receptive to a substitution
by Hybrid Mixing system comprising combination of Agitator and Static Mixer
as shown in the figure on the basis of value analysis
