A client wanted to increase production of a commodity chemical. Studies showed that installing an additional mixer would provide more capacity.

The client selected his mixer and EEC was contracted to design the installation along with all necessary support facilities. The mixer was a 600 gallon, jacketed, rotating discharge, double arm process mixer, capable of operating under pressure or vacuum and with steam or chilled water in the jacket. The mixer was powered by a 50 hp motor, which was controlled by a variable speed drive. EEC analyzed the operation and offered several alternative layouts for the installation, along with pros and cons for each. The client selected a layout and EEC proceeded to design the complete installation.
