Flocculators Sludge Agitators

Flocculators provides gentle agitation by slow moving paddles. This action serves to break up the mass rotation of liquid and promote mixing.

 

The specially designed flocculating paddles enhance flocculation of the feed solids. Low tip speeds create a gentle rotary mixing which promotes floc development. Increased particle contact will promote floc growth and aids faster settling

 

Low tip speeds provide gentle mixing and minimize shearing action on established floc. Flocculators of various sizes and material of construction are available as per the application.

CFD in Mixing Technology
What is CFD ?

 

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents an approved approach within the realm of fluid mechanics. Its widespread application is evident in industries such as automotive, aircraft, process, and mixing.
  • The primary objective of CFD is to address fluid flow-related inquiries by leveraging numerical techniques. The governing equations typically revolve around principles like Navier-Stokes, Euler, or potential-based equations.

 

Flow Simulation at Verito

 

  • Verito leverages cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, alongside laboratory experiments and field trials, to design, scale-up, enhance, or modernize agitators and mixing systems.
  • Verito’s engineers utilize CFD technology to gain an in-depth understanding of velocity distribution, flow patterns, areas with low velocity (referred to as dead zones, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 & 3), as well as regions with both low and high shear rates within various mixing system configurations.
  • This enables the testing of multiple system setups and tank agitator designs to achieve optimal performance. Additionally, CFD technology aids Verito in fine-tuning impeller blade designs to strike a balance between power requirements and pumping capacity.
