Abstract
The efficient mixing of materials is a basic requirement at some stage of most processes. Examples of unit operations include mixers, blenders, heat exchangers and reactors that often use dynamic mixers. Motionless mixers on the other hand contain no moving parts. The only power involved in their use is that associated with the small pressure drop produced by their insertion into a tube or pipe. Energy savings are typically 75% to 90% when compared to mechanical mixers. Case histories are described.
