PRIMIX static mixers can be used for the mixing and diluting of various chemicals, such as ammonia and caustic soda. Also, the mixing of ammonia in water under formation of substantial heat effects is possible with the static mixer. In addition, with a static mixer concentrations, pH and Redox, are often set. At the exit of the mixer the concentration is measured in-line, after which a regulator administers a dosage at the input.
General applications of the static mixers and heat exchangers are:
-
Reactors
-
Hydrogenators
-
Heat transfer processes
-
Crystalliser
-
Multi-Stage processes
-
Draft Tubes
- Pilot plants / research centres (R&D)
Static mixers and heat exchangers for chemical processes
Within this field of application parameters like pressure drop, residence time, plug -flow, corrosion and heat transfer are often of importance. In the sizing programme, drafted on the basis of empirical data, all of these parameters are variable. In PRIMIX's draft proposal, an overview of these parameters in the form of data sheets is included, so the client understands which choices can be made.

Mixers for explosion hazardous processes - ATEX
The PRIMIX static mixers can be manufactured optionally with an ATEX certification. The “Ex II 2DG” classification means in practice that the PRIMIX mixers can be used anywhere except in mine shafts. We take into account all possible hazardous situations and take measures to prevent them; a HAZOP is drawn up and you receive a comprehensive guide that will keep you fully informed about the do's and don'ts of this product . Finally, you will receive the ATEX certificate.
