Liquid Blending with Visimix

The main goal of Visimix is to calculate the mixing parameters for controlling liquid blending in any process.
When we talk about liquid blending, we refer to creating a suitable environment for generating a particular result. Liquid blending can involve mixing of liquids, solids, and gases and influence in the maas and energy transfer process. We need to understand which kind of mechanics energy we’re applying to our process and to our media to generate the desired result. For instance, blending can be “local blending,” where the shear rate generates very local mixing and a long time is needed to introduce all the ingredients to the reaction vessel, or “average blending” using the power mixing to to pump the material inside the equipment well distributed in all the equipment. So, we are in very short time we will be able to put the material in all the equipment, but in the local point of view, in the molecular level of view, it will take a long time this should generate a wide range of results in our operation, quality of productivity.

Liquid blending is not as simple as preparing our coffee or our milkshake. And we’ve learned that is more than it, is to integrate multidimensional phenomena that happen at the same time in different places in the equipment. So, we provide the direction of flow in such a way as to create the process environment required to generate the desired result. Visimix is designed to understand the reactions that we can get with different kinds of equipment operation in any process, and this concept has general applicability.

Once we are aware of the complexity of mixing and the importance of the mixing, we need to take into consideration that every process that we are running in the industry, whether in fine chemical industry or in chemistry specialty or in biotechnology fermentation, we are adding materials to our tank and our intention is to control the interaction between the materials. This interaction is complex like we explained before about mixing phenomena, but the interaction between the materials in my tank that happened in the liquid phase is generating the process. So, what we are really doing is running our process into the liquid phase. Our process is to progress in an environment that was created by the liquids blending and our mission is to connect between the mixing/blending phenomena to the process in the way that mixing is a service and the main goal is the process. Mixing is only serving what the process requires in order to have a good product, good operation, and good productivity. At this point, the only way to have a good connection between the process and the equipment is to generate numbers that will be relevant and that we can reproduce. So, we’re mainly in the liquid phase. To serve the process in a good way, we need to characterize our mixing in the liquid phase. The only way to do it is to have models, especially ones developed for this interaction.

Why VisiMix?

VisiMix is the only software that connects between the environment and the process in real life because all the numbers that VisiMix provides are coming from measurements and from the solution for the steering vessel and not from any other kind of operation that we can extrapolate to mixing in the liquid phase. So, maybe this will close the idea about liquid blending and VisiMix. What we are really generating is the environment through which the processes progress. And once we are able to generate numbers that are representative, relevant, and reproducible at every different view, equation or scenario, we will be able to succeed in our job. This is what VisiMix is providing to you: the tools that give you the ability to connect between the equipment and the process.
