CASE STUDY
Efficient process optimization for stirrers and mixers
Optimize agitators and speed for shorter processes, reduced energy consumption, and maximum efficiency.
Challenge
How do I optimize the mixing or reaction process by adjusting the agitator and speed for maximum efficiency?
Added Value
By combining our expertise with the process knowledge of our clients, we enable clear insights into operations that are typically not visible in an agitator or reactor. This leads to the ability to develop new solutions digitally. In addition to simulation-based optimization, we also create impactful graphics and videos that help you stand out from the competition and strengthen your customer's trust.
Approach
Our chemical engineers bring their profound expertise into the process and use advanced simulations to make the current process behavior of your reactor or mixer transparent. This allows us to identify potential issues such as secondary vortices that affect the mixing result and prolong mixing or reaction time, early on. By precisely adjusting the speed and agitator geometry, we explore various options to effectively solve these challenges. We ensure that the maximum allowable torque is not exceeded or can even be optimized. If desired, we also consider factors like sedimentation, thermal behavior, or the structural behavior of the vessel under pressure.
Benefits
By specifically replacing the agitator instead of conducting time-consuming experiments, you significantly reduce downtime. A deeper understanding of the mixing process and its optimization leads to shorter stirring times and lower energy consumption, providing you a clear market advantage. Additionally, marketing videos showcasing the application of the latest optimization methods bolster your customers' trust and support the acquisition of new clients.
