Working principle

The unique twin-inlet, double-chamber MicroMerge™ design

improves both operating efficiency and economics. MicroMerge

makes it possible to combine high-intensity dispersion (in the

upper chamber) with a preset contact time (in the lower

chamber).

With two separate inlets – one at the top and one at the bottom

it is possible to feed oil directly into the dispersion section, and

then gradually into the mixing section, as required.

The majority of the dispersion takes place in the top part of the

mixer. Dispersion requires power and the greater the diameter of

the vessel the more power is required. An upper part with a

smaller diameter is therefore advantageous. In the bottom part of

the mixer, highly turbulent, low-shear mixing is used to bring the

dispersed chemicals into contact with all the oil being treated, in a

volume large enough to provide sufficient contact time.
