| | | Maximum Flexibility - Three Ways As the world's premier mixing expert, we serve a tremendous variety of industries and applications -everything from pharmaceuticals to minerals extraction operations. And the testing involved with each of these applications is just as diverse. Flexibility is key. That's why we specifically designed the lab to accommodate a broad range of tests. I We'll test your actual materials, we'll perform a variety of scaled-down tests using your actual materials. No matter what your mixing process is - gas dispersion, slurry suspension, paper stock agitation, blending, or nearly anything else - we'll analyze it for optimal flow and shear. That's the best way to find out in advance which impeller will maximize not only mixing, but also the process itself. If your materials are hazardous, we'll run tests in the lab's Explosion-Proof Testing Area. 2 We'll test an acceptable facsimile of your material. While actual materials testing is preferable to ensure optimum mixing performance, we realize it isn't always possible. So, at the LIGHTNIN Process Technology Lab we offer a number of options for materials and process simulation, or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. We also conduct tests in water to measure mass transfer coefficients and flow/shear ratios and then scale to your process. Bernie Gigas, PE Bernie joined LIGHTNIN in 1994 and currently manages the R&D Engineering functions at LIGHTNIN. Since 2000 he has focused on chemical process optimization and troubleshooting. Areas of expertise in fluid processing cover gas-liquid mass transfer and Computational Fluid Dynamics. He holds a BS in Chemical Engineering (University of Rochester), an MS in Mechanical Engineering (RIT), and is a registered Professional Engineer in the | | To Test For The Best 3 We'll run full-scale performance tests for you - on- or Off-Site. If your application demands it, LIGHTNIN provides scale-up testing capabilities in our 600,000-gallon tanks. Or, if necessary, we'll come to your location for full-scale testing to determine the best configuration for your process. | | |
