Kenics™ Static Mixer Technology

Product Innovation Since 1965, in thousands of installations worldwide, Kenics static mixers have set the standard for inline mixing and heat transfer performance. The Mixing Technologies Group of NOV incorporates advanced technology into every static mixer to give you reliable, uninterrupted performance that you can depend on for the long term. The result: maximum operating efficiency and overall cost savings. These mixing principles result in an application technology that can be easily reproduced and reliably scaled. Numerous independent studies have shown Kenics static mixers maximize...

Mixing Applications Turbulent Blending HEV and UltraTab Each tab of the HEV generates a pair of streamwise counter rotating vortices, while the UltraTab, with upstream injector, provides rapid incorporation of additives. Both mixers produce vigorous crossstream mixing and rapid uniformity. Laminar Blending KMX-V The intersecting blades of the KMX-V create crossstream mixing and flow splitting to achieve rapid mixing even in the most demanding applications such as those with extreme viscosity and volume ratios. Our static mixers provide precise blending and dispersion of all flowable...

KM Static Mixers KM static mixers feature a patented helical mixing element which produces complete radial mixing and flow division for any combination of liquids, gases, or solids. Adapts to Any Piping System Mixer dimensions match all standard pipe sizes. Mixer housings feature plain, threaded, weld prep or flanged ends for easy installation. Flange styles Fixed Element—KMS • Used for laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow applications; suitable for most blending or dispersion problems involving liquids or gases • Mixing elements are attached to the housing wall Construction Options •...

UltraTab Static Mixers The UltraTab provides rapid mixing in circular pipe turbulent flow applications. The integral injector allows upstream injection of additives to produce a 0.05 CoV (coefficient of variation) in as little as two pipe diameters downstream from the exit of the mixer. This upstream injector ensures that the highest energy dissipation zone is not missed. The compact tab design minimizes the length required for mixing and optimizes piping layout. UltraTab Static Mixer Features • Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, coated carbon/316ss and FRP materials •...

KMX-V Static Mixers Static Mixer Comparison, Viscosity Ratio = 53,000:1 The KMX-V is the choice for demanding mixing applications, such as those involving fluids with extreme viscosity or volumetric ratios. The common limiting factor in static mixer design is the allowable mixer length and the patented element design offers a short length and the most efficient mixing performance. KMX-V Mixer with Concave Blades Static Mixer with Flat Blades Exclusive Mixing Principle The KMX-V utilizes cross-stream mixing and flow splitting to achieve very rapid blending. Each element is approximately one...

Mixing Uniformity By analyzing the inlet stream conditions, final mixture quality can be predicted for all Kenics static mixer designs. Dlmenstonless Time Reactor Engineering By interruptingthe parabolicvelocity profile characteristic of open pipe, Kenics static mixers produce residence time distributions approaching
