Static mixer GV

The GV static mixer has been used successfully in turbulent flow applications for over 35 years. It is a high performance inline mixer capable of mixing low viscosity liquids, blending gases, dispersing immiscible liquids and creating gas-liquid dispersions with a very high degree of mixing in a short length. Mixing Capabilities Blend low viscosity liquids Disperse immiscible liquids Mix gases Contact gases and liquids Applications Mixing of liquids, chemicals and additives in water treatment and chemical plants Dispersing immiscible liquids such as crude oil and water in refineries for extraction applications Mix gases in front of catalytic reactors Contact air and liquids for oxidation Geometric Configuration Variables The GV static mixer is versatile because it has many geometric configuration variables that can be used to impact the intensity of mixing created within any given pipe diameter and create mixing solutions that are difficult to achieve with any other technology: Standard GV static mixers are constructed with 5-corrugated plates across their diameter with a 45o corrugated plate angle relative to the pipe axis (Figures #1 - #2). Number of layers can be varied within a given pipe diameter (Figure #3) to intensify mixing and contact Corrugation angle can vary (Figure #4) to affect intensity of mixing and pressure drop. Spacers between mixing elements take advantage of empty pipe turbulent mixing created by the upstream motionless mixing element (Figure #5) at no additional pressure drop.
