Drying Systems require tight controls on temp- erature, humidification, and velocity variations. The smaller these variations, the more efficient the drying process. The Gas Blender provides tight control on these variations.

Since the Gas Blender mixer uses the velocity of the gas stream to mix, it can effectively operate over a very broad thermal and temperature range. The Gas Blender mixer has been successfully used in applications where temperatures range from 0°F (-18°C) to more than 2000°F (1093°C), and flow rates from less than 175 cfm (5 m3/sec) to flows exceeding 850,000 cfm (24,069 m3/sec). Because of the broad flow ranges and low-pressure drop, the Gas Blender mixer is the ideal solution for many industrial process systems and environmental control system applications.

Applications
Most of the mixing solutions offered by Blender Products are custom in nature, but they do share generalities. The following section is dedicated to providing an overview of the of typical applications dealing with maldistibution in:

• Temperature: Ovens, Dryers, Flame Tubes, Heat Exchangers, Thermal Oxidizers, Economy Bypass, Humidity Control, Incinerators
• Concentration: Fuel/Air Mixing, SCR Systems/Ammonia Injection Grids, Stack Emissions Sampling, Absolute Filter Testing Using Dioctylphthalate Aerosols, CEM Systems
• Velocity: Gas Filtration, Chemical Removal Processes, Dryers, Catalyst Beds, Stack Emissions Sampling, Electrostatic Precipitators

Features & Benefits:

• The counter rotational blade design is fundmental in maximizing mixing performance in the shortest possible distance.
• Blade design allows for maximum mixing while requiring minimal energy
• Provides predictable mixing for every mixer size due to geometric, dynamic, and kinematic similarity
• Provides reliable pressure drop rating with includes the effect of mixer to plenum area ratio
• Materials available range from stainless steel for high temperature to Inconel® for highly corrosive applications
• Sizes range from 2 inches in diameter to over 18 feet
