Description

The Kenics™ Ultra-Plate static mixer is a lightweight, easy-to-install, and cost-effective solution for water and wastewater turbulent flow blending applications. Designed for compact installation, the Ultra-Plate mixer ensures efficient blending over short distances downstream of the mixer, with moderate pressure drops through its mixer element.

Applications

  • pH control
  • Chemical dosing/flash mixing
  • Disinfection
  • Chlorination
  • Polymer blending
  • Continuous flow, turbulent flow mixing in chemical processes
  • Turbulent flow mixing in desalination processes

Application Versatility

The Ultra-Plate static mixer offers versatility for a wide range of blending applications:

  • Additive Ratios: From 1:3 to greater than 1:10,000
  • Efficient Mixing: Turbulent eddies from the single element produce intense and rapid mixing of the bulk flow
  • Integral Injector: Provides a simple and effective means for additive injection, avoiding the issues of centerline injectors such as flow impedance, increased pressure drop, and fouling
  • Multi-Point Injectors: Optional for mixing several additives into the main flow
  • Optimized Performance: Increased mixing performance in comparable space as “wafer” type designs with similar pressure drops

Turbulent Mixing Excellence

Turbulent mixing, characterized by mass interchange in both radial and axial directions due to turbulent eddies, is the primary flow mechanism in water and wastewater applications. The Ultra-Plate static mixer optimizes this process, injecting additives directly before the mixing element to enhance pressure and flow velocity, thereby increasing the energy needed for effective mixing.

Without Ultraplate: mixing process through an empty pipe at different lengths downstream. There are minimal mixing occurring on the CFD.

Graphic showing mixing process

With the Ultraplate, the mixing for Beta 0.7 design shows uniform mixing at 10 pipe diameters downstream as well as other degrees of mixing at 3 pipe diameters and 5 pipe diameters. Our minimum mixing requirements for the Ultraplate is CoV 0.1 at 10 pipe diameter length downstream. This shows more mixing downstream than our minimum design requirements.
