Mixing Vessel System – Key Topics & Components

🔹 1. Mixing Vessel

• A pressure or atmospheric tank equipped with an agitator for homogenizing liquids, suspending solids, or promoting chemical reactions.

• Used in food, pharma, chemicals, petrochemicals, cosmetics, and water treatment industries.

🔹 2. Piping System

• Inlet/outlet nozzles, drain lines, CIP/SIP lines, vent, vacuum lines, jacket piping (for heating/cooling).

• Sanitary piping (in pharma/food), jacketed or heat-traced piping.

🔹 3. Civil Foundation

• RCC foundation with embedded plates.

• Vibration damping pads (for high-speed agitators).

• Anchoring for seismic/wind loading.

🔹 4. Pumps

• Transfer pumps (centrifugal or diaphragm) for feeding and discharging.

• Recirculation pumps in looped mixing systems.

• Dosing pumps for additives.

🔹 5. P&ID (Piping & Instrumentation Diagram)

• Mixing tank, agitator motor, pumps, valves, pressure/temp transmitters, CIP lines, safety interlocks.

🔹 6. Related Heat Exchangers

• Jacketed shell (heating/cooling).

• External plate/frame or coil-type heat exchangers for batch temperature control.

• Steam heaters or hot oil systems.

🔹 7. Instrumentation

• Temperature, pH, viscosity, conductivity transmitters.

• Load cells for batch weighing.

• Level sensors, agitator RPM control, pressure indicators.

🔹 8. Day & Temporary Storage Tanks

• Feed tanks for ingredients (oils, chemicals, water).

• Temporary storage for mixed products during cleaning or changeover.

🔹 9. Process Design

• Mixing time, agitation speed, baffle design, shear force.

• Heat transfer calculations, residence time, scale-up considerations.

🔹 10. Mechanical Design

• ASME Sec VIII or API 650 based on pressure rating.

• Agitator shaft & bearing design.

• Nozzle loading (WRC), support structures, jackets/limpet coils.
