You have a problem and you need a troubleshooter

A process upset has shut you down.  Or you hit a road block in R&D.  You need answers and you need them fast.  Consider a mixing expert as part of your team to resolve the problem, even if you don't think mixing is to blame.

Key Benefits

Almost all reactions require mixing and most engineers haven't studied mixing.
Our expertise is mixing.
We can minimize your downtime.
An outsider can help you think outside the box.
We can make suggestions so it shouldn't happen again.
We have experience in many process applications.

Examples

Cutting hydrogenation times in half
Decreasing the batch time of a polymerization from 12 hours to under 1 hour with a resulting purer product
Doubling the throughput of a fermentation
Increasing kLa by 100% without a new motor and gearbox
Switching to a solvent based reaction, increased production rate from a mere 5 kg/day to an excess of 1000 kg/batch
Reverse order of addition of components eliminated the need of a very costly mixing system
Improving the mixing reduced the leaching time of a precious metals plant from 1 week to less than 1 day
Decreased the entrainment of solvents in solvent extractions of mining operations from several percents to about 10 ppm
Increased the throughput in PTA plants by decreasing the solids build up in the reactors
Dramatically decreasing the mixing time by merely readjusting the position of the impeller for a portable mixer installation
Doubling the heat transfer capacity of a tank by changing the location of heat transfer surfaces
Decreasing dead zones in a high viscosity solution increased yields, reduced unwanted impurities, and kept the temperature of the solution within ± 1 degree
Predicted conditions for reaction extinction for a high pressure, high temperature oxidation in a horizontal tank
Achieved a uniform droplet size distribution by making minor design changes to an inline mixing device
Optimized dissolution times of floating solids by implementing up-pumping technology
