CASE NO: 573
| MATERIAL: | Calcium oxide, fatty acids. | PROBLEM: | Disperse 10% by weight lime in water. Continue dispersing as hot fatty acid is slowly added to create smooth emulsion. | RESULTS: | Recirculates at 50-12 gpm depending upon the viscosity which changes from 200 to 5,000 cps. agitated vessel. | AB MIXER: | Model 6 x 3, toothed impeller/liner, 20 HP, 1800 RPM, 1/8" grid. Recirculating to 5,000 gallon agitated vessel. | | BENEFITS: | Major maintenance problems with high pressure piston homogenizer eliminated. Plant no longer spent $100,000 per year on piston homogenizer maintenance. |
