Industrial agitators play a central role in chemical and petrochemical processes because mixing of substances and chemical reactions are closely interconnected. The way different reagents are mixed can significantly influence product quality, product yield, or even the resulting product itself.
In the chemical industry, stirred reactors are used for reaction, extraction, distillation, crystallization, and other processes. Depending on the reactor process and operating mode — continuous, semi-batch, or batch operation — the agitators can be subjected to varied demands.
In the petrochemical industry, common mixing tasks include emulsification, absorption, desalination, alkylation, and neutralization. Lubricating oils must be homogenized, while sludge oils must be suspended.
For this wide variety of chemical and petrochemical mixing tasks, Geppert offers tailor-made agitators designed to satisfy operational and customer requirements.
