Why use a Static Mixer?
• Save Money
– Less chemicals
– Less Energy
– No maintenance
– No tanks
– No electrical supply
– No mounting structure
– Short payback
• Achieve process requirements
Poor Mixing
Coefficient of Variation
• CoV is the mixing objective
• CoV is a method of specifying &

comparing the performance of
motionless mixers
• CoV = 0.05 is the industrially

accepted standard
• Where the CoV is achieved is

very important to specify
Testing CoV
Laser Induced
Fluorescence Rig
(LIF)
At a CoV of 0.05, 95% of all concentrations measured in the same plane
after mixing will fall within ±10% of the mean dosed concentration.
At a CoV of 0.01, 95% of all concentrations measured in the same plane

after mixing will fall within ±2% of the mean dosed concentration.
A CoV of 0.05 can be considered as a standard for water treatment applications.

Where can I use a Static Mixer?
Statiflo Range
• Open channel
• Inline
• Duct mixers
• Gas dispersion system
• DSM insertion type
• Flow conditioners
The Best Mixing Elements
How do Static Mixers work?
• Release holes either side

of the mixing elements
leading edge
• Leading edge of first

element
STL v STM
Series 650 Static Mixers
• Unique matrix style design
• Proven to be the most efficient static mixing

element in the world
• Pairs of injection lances
• Provides a CoV guarantee

at the mixer discharge
• Ideal for any large diameter

critical dosing applications
DSM
• Very short installation length
• Low headloss
• Initiate mixing process
• CoV achieved 3 – 5
diameters from mixer
discharge
Flow Conditioners
• Increased accuracy of
measurement
• Increased
reproducibility
• Reduces the amount

of straight run needed
upstream of a meter
• Low headloss
Channel Mixers
• Chemical savings
• Low headloss
• No additional civil work
• Small footprint
• Low operating /capital

cost
Case Study – Modern Inlet

7m x 5m 1.5m x 5m
4 off pH control 4 off flocculation

Total plant flow mixers 1.5m x 5m mixers 1.5m x 5m
621 MLD
Total headloss 270mm at 621MLD
Case Study – Chemical Savings
• Client reports a ~20%

reduction in chemical
consumption following
installation of this unit.
• The chemical reduction

saved the customer €170
per day which equates to
more than € 62,000 a year.

GDS Overview
Pre Dispersion Mixer
• The bubbles
decrease in size as
they pass through
the mixer
• Consistent bubble
size at the mixer
discharge
• Predictable mean
bubble size leading
to high mass
transfer efficiency
Alternative Injector Systems -
Direct Gas Injection
• Very simple
solution
• No control of
bubble size
• No control of
bubble
distribution
Diffusers
• Fairly basic solution
with no moving parts
• Relatively large ozone

bubbles
• No mixing
• High bubble rise rate
• Short contact time
Diffusers
• Gas bubble size varies

depending on the flow
• Backflow of water into the

diffusers
• Very high maintenance

demand including regular
shutdowns and an acid
wash requirement
Case Study – Diffuser vs GDS
• 80% initial Ozone transfer efficiency fell to 60%
after 6 months of operation.
Case Study – Diffuser vs GDS
• Statiflo
replaced the
diffuser system
with a GDS.
• Statiflo
MTE – 98.5%
• Ozone
generation
saving
~€150,000 PA.
GDS Benefits
• High performance over wide flow rate range
• Excellent transfer efficiency – 95% guaranteed
• Lowest recorded
MTE has been
98.3%
• Very low service

pressure drop
GDS Benefits Continued
• No deterioration in
performance after
prolonged use
• Only one moving

part - A simple
pump
• Low energy
consumption
Chemical Injection Lances
• Withdrawable
under mains
pressure
• Available in a wide
range of materials
• The XHP lance has

a screw-out
operation for
maximum safety
Thank you very much
for your attention.
