Mixing Tank

Mixing Tank Feature

1. Body: We reinforce the laminated polyester with fiberglass (GRP).
2. Connection: We cast the flanges from polyester or use PVC connections.
3. Overflow Device: The overflow device also consists of laminated polyester reinforced with fiberglass (GRP).
4. Support: To prevent corrosion, we offer various chemical barriers.

Selecting the optimal mixing tank for water treatment is crucial for achieving efficient and effective results. Here are some guidelines to consider:

1. Liquid Level to Tank Diameter Ratio:
   • For most mixing applications, aim for an ideal liquid level to tank diameter ratio of 0.8. However, any ratio close to 1-to-1 is sufficient.
   • A ratio that is too small won’t allow proper axial mixing in the tank. Avoid ratios less than 0.6.
   • When the ratio exceeds 1.4, consider using dual impellers.
   • If the ratio exceeds 2.0, re-evaluate tank selection, as slim tanks are less cost-effective for mixing.
   • Longer mixer shafts increase the price of the mixer significantly¹.
2. Vertical Cylindrical Tanks:
   • These are the most common type of tanks.
   • Ensure they are either baffled or offset-mounted to prevent swirling.
   • Baffles are not necessary for smaller tanks (<5,000 gallons or <10’ height), but for larger tanks, baffles are cost-effective compared to heavy-duty offset-mounted mixers.
3. Rectangular Tanks:
   • Calculate the equivalent diameter by taking the square root of Length x Width and multiplying it by 1.13.
   • Similar to cylindrical tanks, maintain a liquid level to equivalent tank diameter ratio of 0.8.
   • Rectangular tanks are effective for blending (self-baffling) but not recommended for solid suspension due to corner “dead spots” where solids accumulate
