# Development of Chemical Precipitation Purchased Equipment Costs: Mixers

Purchased Equipment Costs are the sum of the following cost elements:

(1) Pump Costs (2) Tank Costs (3) Chemical Feed System Costs (4) Mixer Costs (5) Clarifier Costs (6) Filter Press Costs (7) Sand Filter Costs

Each cost component includes the cost of freight and associated ancillary equipment such as piping, valves, and controllers.

Th e following documents provided by a vendor support EPA’ s development of cost element (4 ) by providing details and specifications for mixers used in the Steam Electric cost model.

### Portable Mixer Application 

# Portable Mixers

ADVANCED DESIGN

• Gear drive and direct drive models. • Rugged yet lightweight construction. • Wide range of operating speeds.

• Clamp and mounting configurations for open or closed tanks.

• Shaft diameter, materials, and coupling combinations for your specific application. • Industry standard, easy mount, NEMA motors. Variable speed, air, or electric options. • Extensive array of impellers for any process requirements. • Easy installation and low maintenance.



## SUPERIOR ENERGY EFFICICIENCY Our portable mixers have a special advantage over other mixers.Using a model of high torque and low speed, our portable mixers apply more torque to the mix for the same energy consumption or, put another way, our portable mixers apply the same torque while consuming 20% LESS energy. Higher efficiency means lower costs. 

## INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
Each process has unique qualities and characteristics. We work closely with you to provide a mixing solution tailored to your needs for optimized process results.

# Impeller Styles

Features:
Low Solidity Hydrofoil
Low Solidity Hydrofoil is the most flow efficient impeller for low viscosity. Maximizes flow with ability to add shear if required.



## Counterflow TM 

## Impeller

Counterflow TM Impeller provides lower power and high torque mixing - saving energy. Dual pumping action establishes a flow pattern similar to low viscosity fluid.



## Stabilizer Rings
Available on any lower propeller for smooth operation of long shafts or for drain down situations.



## Steep Pitch Propeller
Steep Pitch Propeller (1.5 to 1) is standard for a wide range of applications. Provides excellent flow and blending.



## Folding Propeller
Folding Propeller passes easily through bung hole of 55 gallon drum and opens automatically under power. Sizes from 3” to 5”.



## Pitched Blade Turbine

Pitch Blade Turbine is an ideal choice when both flow velocity and fluid shear are required. Its smaller diameter is well suited for high intensity liquid blending.

And more. We have an impeller that’s right for your application needs. t
