Create truly effective mixing tanks with our experienced CFD Consultancy
Mixing tanks are used in a vast number of industries for mixing and blending liquids, slurries and solids. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is being utilised in an increasing capacity in order to determine the most effective setup within the tank.
In some instances, e.g. Bioreactors, the blend time is critical and therefore the blending of substances must be done in the most efficient and effective manner, whilst retaining the required blend quality. Navier’s engineers have extensive experience in exploiting CFD to achieve optimised setups, where the required mixing performance is accomplished, and the impeller torque and subsequent power consumption is reduced. Engaging with Navier early in the design process will allow the mixing efficiency of your design to be maximised.
Navier’s streamlined CFD techniques allow us to run efficient design of experiment (DOE) studies to determine the parameters critical to mixing performance, and their interaction, allowing designers to hone in on the best setup.
Key Outputs:
- Validation of mixing tank performance characteristics
- Optimisation of design by utilising DOE
- Determination of blend time
- Reduction of impeller torque and subsequent power consumption
- Thermal profiling
