MIXING

Mixing dalam operasi TL

• Equalisasi
• Netralisasi
• Koagulasi flokulasi
• Aerasi
• Disinfeksi
 Alat dalam operasi mixing
1. Mekanikal (Rotating
impellerpropeler, turbin,
paddle)
2. Pneumatik (Air agitator,
mixing jet/pump)
3. Baffle basin
 Tipe Impeller
1. Propeller
2. Turbine
3. Paddle/dayung
 oblique paddle agitator
Straight padle agitator
 Paraboladisc turbin
Arc disc turbin
Agitator spread around Helical ribbon impelller
Special blade agitator
 Posisi mixer
1. Top entering mixer
2. Bottom enter
3. Side enter
 Vortex
• The motion of the fluid swirling rapidly around a center is called a
vortex.
•The speed and rate of rotation of the fluid are greatest at the center,
and decrease progressively with distance from the center.
•The fluid pressure in a vortex is lowest in the center (where the
speed is greatest) and rises progressively with distance from the
center.
•Vorteks menghalangi operasi mixing dengan cara mengurangi
kecepatan impeller relatif terhadap cairan
Vortex dapat dikurangi dengan baffling yang tepat (1/10 – 1/12
dari diameter tangki)
 Contoh operasi mixing
• Koagulasi flokulasi

• Rapid mixing  koagulasi

• Slow mixing  flokulasi
 G value (velocity gradient)
• The degree of mixing is based on the
power imparted to the water

• GT (rapid mixing) (Slow mixing)

 Praktek/demo jar test
• Rapid mixing  100 rpm selama 60 det

• Slow mixing  60 rpm selama 5 min

 40 rpm selama 10 min

• Latihan: hitung G value
