I want to design a mixing tank to prepare a slurry of very fine
catalysts in water. This tank will have an agitator to keep solids suspended. In this case how would you consider the vortex height generated during mixing?
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: Designing a Mixing Tank
21 February 2008 at 1:29pmIf you want to suspend solids, the best advice is to not have a vortex. For solids suspension, you want baffles or an angle-offset mounting to minimize or eliminate the vortex. If you have a vortex on the surface, you will likely have a pile of solids in the middle on the bottom. Your agitator should pump downward to sweep the solids off the bottom.
