Agitation
Autoclave Engineers have been instrumental in the development of the ''Dispersimax." The impeller of this device pumps gases continually through a liquid kept in constant agitation in the presence of a suspended catalyst. This greatly increases the interfacial contact of solids, liquids and gases. Extensive tests at the University of Pennsylvania have shown that this device will decrease reaction time many fold and in a great many cases is expected to result in reactions taking place at lower pressures, which would mean lower costs for plant size equipment. The drawing at the left shows how the (jj^ "Dispersimax" works. The hollow rotating shaft is provided with inlet ports above the liquid level and outlet ports at the impeller. Rotating impeller blades at the bottom of the shaft create a suction which circulates the gas continuously down through the shaft and out through the liquid with its suspended catalyst. Here is another example of Autoclave Engineers constant search to produce better tools for research. Write for Bulletin No. 1254.
