EXAIR Tank Mixing Nozzle

It is necessary to keep tank contents mixed or agitated in many applications. Conventional mixing in a tank requires mechanical mixing components, such as a large, motor-driven impeller. However, many applications in which immiscible liquids need to be kept mixed or solids kept suspended may be done so with only a pump and submerged spray nozzles, greatly reducing system complexity, capital cost, and maintenance requirements. Eductor mixing nozzles (BETE TurboMix) are completely submerged below the liquid in the tank and operate based on the simple premise that when velocity increases, pressure decreases. They are designed to take the velocity of the fluid pumped into the nozzle and convert it into a low-pressure zone that induces surrounding liquid in the tank to enter into the nozzle. In this fashion, the pumped fluid is effectively mixed with the tank contents, and the amount of fluid that exits the nozzle is three to five times the amount of fluid pumped. This multiplier effect allows greater mixing efficiency while using a smaller pumping capacity.
