Process Scale-up and Design Considerations

There are many important process and mixer variables to consider in the process selection, scale-up, and operation of rotor-stator mixers. Key variables among them include  

Coalescence behavior with or without surface-active agents (surfactants, dispersants, stabilizers, etc.) 

Role of the materials of construction of fluid-wetted parts on the chemistry or physics of the process 

Number of feed streams and the need for staging or premixing Desired throughput 

Location and order of addition of reagents to different stages of mixer heads
