Distillation is a basic separation process used extensively in chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and food industries. It incorporates the separation of constituents based on the difference in boiling points. At ACME Process Systems, we design and manufacture various distillation units to suit different industrial requirements. Here, we‘ll be discussing various types of distillation units, their operation, and where they‘re applied commonly. 1. Simple Distillation Unit Application: For separating mixtures with very different boiling points. How it works: A mixture is heated in a boiler, the constituent that has the lower boiling point is evaporated first, […]

Mixing is a significant aspect of industrial processes to obtain consistent products, improve chemical reactions, and ensure material uniformity. From liquid blending to gas dispersion, suspending solids to heat transfer, the appropriate agitator makes all the difference. An agitator is a mechanical component to mix or stir fluids, slurries, or solids in a vessel or tank. The type of agitator chosen is based on the process need, including the viscosity of the material, vessel size, and desired result. In this blog, we discuss the various types of agitators, their design characteristics, and typical uses in industries. 1. Paddle Agitator Design: Has flat blades mounted on a central shaft. Best suited: Low to medium viscosity liquids that need gentle mixing. Applications:
