Optimizing Mixing Studies for Enhanced Yields | Mixing Facility Expertise

Written by Technology Validation & Scale-up Centre | 12 June 2024

In the chemical industry, identifying the optimum mixing tank configuration is critical to improving yields and process efficiency. Selecting the right impeller type, impeller position, and impeller clearance plays a key role in achieving effective mixing while avoiding unwanted vortex formation.

Our Mixing Facility combines flow visualization experiments and simulation studies to evaluate mixing performance across different tank setups and impeller designs. Through experimental validation, we help determine critical operating parameters such as minimum impeller speed for solid suspension and generate reliable scale-up data.

From laboratory-scale studies to commercial implementation, our team supports technology scale-up across applications including emulsions, particle dissolution, catalytic reactions, API formulations, specialty chemicals, and industrial slurries.

Explore the insights to see how advanced mixing studies can improve process performance and scale-up outcomes.
