The great and ongoing demand for food, energy, water, and medicine production via environmentally sound chemical processes is an endeavor that constantly requires the progress and development of new technologies. The 21st International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering will investigate and reveal how chemical reaction engineering plays a large part in tackling these challenging resource demands. Learn about the new equipment technologies and processes that will fuel the facilities built to sustain our needs on Sunday June 13th through Wednesday June 16th in the Lowes Philadelphia Hotel, PA.
Register for the 21st International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering
From May 2nd to May 5th, the Second International Conference of Stem Cell Engineering will be held at the Hyatt Harborside Hotel in Boston; stem cell biology and bioengineering communities will be working together to help advance the progress of regenerative medicine.
Diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases are the result of cellular deficiencies; to understand how cells function to work towards a cure, scientists need highly controlled laboratory environments and equipment to observe cell structure and adaptation.
A facility that meets all necessary requirements to ensure peak equipment performance is a must for stem cell research projects. Any equipment failure can result in the loss of millions dollars of funding dedicated to research, impeding the development of cures for debilitating diseases.
Lightnin Mixers are among the most recognized industrial processing equipment brands available. Lightnin makes mixers, agitators, aerators, and flocculators for fluid process systems. We’ve asked our process engineers to come up with a few important points to consider when specifying a Lightnin mixer:
1. You need to know your vessel information. This includes vessel capacity, dimensions (height and diameter), pressure rating, mixer connection size/type, and if the vessel has baffles. If your tank is ASME rated and you have a shop drawing, this will give us all of the information we need to get started.
2. Equally important are the materials being mixed and the specifics around the materials and mixing process. This includes mix ratios and physical properties such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, and density.
3. You also need to consider the operating conditions of your process, such as the pressure and temperature. If you aren’t operating under atmospheric pressure, the mixer will need a seal, which is also affected by the temperature of the chemicals.
4. The cleanliness of your process is important. For example, a bio/pharmaceutical process that requires a certain level of cleanliness, or if you are operating a more “dirty” chemical manufacturing process.
These are only a few criteria you need to consider when specifying a Lightnin Mixer. If you’re looking to specify and order a mixer, please fill out our form to get in touch with an engineer who can help out.
