Homogenization in storage tanks

In a few cases the energy-rich propulsion jet of a sinfle fluid nozzle is also utilized for homogenization of liquid mixtures in storage tanks (see Homogenization in Storage Tanks, Section 3.7).

The homogenization of relative thin liquids (p < 100 mPa s) in storage tanks can be particularly effectively realized by rising gas bubbles from a sparger (sintered... 

An important consideration is whether the product is a solid distinct piece or a liquid filled in storage tanks. The liquids are generally miscible even from different batches and can form a homogeneous lot in the storage tank. Only a few samples from this lot may be analysed to get correct results. 

Nylon salt is prepared as a homogeneous solution of 52 - 53 % concentration. The product is sensitive to oxygen and it is maintained in storage tanks under nitrogen atmosphere. 

The second solution consists of pooling all the slurry contents needed from the different containers in the slurry tank with the storage solution. After the resin has settled, the supernatant is removed and replaced by the packing buffer. That operation has to be repeated several times (with a homogenization in between), until the resin is completely in desired buffer solution. 

Jet mixers are commonly used in large storage tanks, where the contents must be homogenized, but the required blend time can be on the order of hours rather...
