Scale-Up of Mixing Equipment for Suspensions
December 17, 2020
This paper deals with the scale-up of equipment for the mixing of suspensions. The measurement of just-suspended agitator speeds was carried out with standard, pitched, four-blade turbines and folded, four-blade turbines in three vessels (290 mm, 600 mm, and 800 mm in diameter) for several particle sizes and concentrations. The results of measurements confirmed that scale-up based on dimensionless Froude number dependence, on the relative particle size and concentration, can be used. On the basis of the results, a scale-up rule for agitator speeds in a given suspension and equipment geometry was recommended, and various conclusions reported by different investigators were discussed.
