Stirred tanks are widely used in chemical processing indu tries for blending, liquid-liquid dispersion, gas-liquid disper-sion, suspension formation, heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reactions. Efficient mixing is crucial to the out-comes of all of these processes. For these applications, poor mixing can have serious consequences such as excessive by-product formation, inconsistent product quality in blended products, wide particle size distributions in crystallization processes, and slow mass transfer rates in bioreactors.
