Introduction
SPX Process Equipment provides advanced solutions for Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) with a focus on efficient mixing processes. Their capabilities include cutting-edge research, testing, and scale-up techniques to optimize impeller design and performance.

Impeller Design and Testing
The efficiency of an agitator is largely determined by the impeller design. SPX uses a computerized laser Doppler velocimeter to measure mixing performance accurately, including power consumption, flow, and shear characteristics. This technology aids in designing impellers for specific operations, such as solids suspension and gas handling.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
SPX employs CFD modeling to analyze agitator performance in full-scale installations. This program evaluates the dynamic effects of agitator design, vessel geometry, and slurry characteristics, ensuring precise and comprehensive analysis of the mixing process.

Experience and Innovation
With over 80 years of experience, LIGHTNIN, a part of SPX, has been a pioneer in FGD processes since the 1960s. They have evolved from multiple absorber towers per boiler to modern single tower systems, emphasizing efficient mixing and energy consumption.

High-Efficiency Impellers
The A510/A310 impeller family, developed in LIGHTNIN's laser lab, significantly reduces power consumption compared to traditional designs. These impellers are optimized for high flow per power, minimizing shear and preventing undesirable eddy currents that can cause erosion.

Durability and Reliability
LIGHTNIN mixers are known for their performance and durability. The integrated design ensures that shaft systems and impellers are well-matched for long-term operation. The Series 70/700 mixers deliver up to 1250 hp and are designed for severe duty applications.
