Static mixers are being used in the process industry since decades for mixing, blending, heat transfer, etc. - It is a device which has fixed geometric elements in a housing. The only power required for static mixers is the external pumping power that is responsible for the flow inside the mixer.
The use of static mixers instead of a dynamic mixer is recommended, when:
- Backmixing should be avoided
- Short residence time is required
- Available space is limited
- In continuous processes.
