Westfall Manufacturing Co. has introduced
a fixed plate static injection mixer for water
treatment, desalination and water purifica-tion systems that is considerably smaller,
lighter and less expensive to purchase and
install than a traditional mixer. The
Westfall Model 2800 static mixer is a
316SS wafer-style fixed plate with integral
gaskets and a pre-drilled flange that is
designed to fit into the mating flange bolt
circle of any piping system to provide rapid
mixing. Achieving better than 98% inject-ed fluid dispersion only 10 diameters
downstream, the short laying length is a
fraction of traditional mixers, which makes
it considerably less costly to produce, ship,
install and maintain.
Available up to 10 ft (3.05-m) diameter,
the 2-in.-wide (50-mm) mixer can replace a
traditional mixer which is typically 25 ft
(7.62 m) long and expensive to transport.
Featuring beta ratios from 0.7 to 0.9, these
feed line mixers can accommodate one or
more fluids which are rapidly mixed by a
combination of alternated vortex shedding
and intense shear zone turbulence.
