A Static Mixer is a precision-fabricated unit inserted into a pipeline to blend fluid streams continuously while flowing through. It does the mixing with fixed, strategically positioned internal elements that induce the flow to divide, turn, and reblend.

Because they possess neither mechanical nor moving parts, static mixers provide low maintenance and high reliability, and are well-suited for inline blending.
Varied static mixer designs are suited for varied fluid properties and mixing applications:

1. Pipe (Inline) Static Mixers

• Design: Helical or baffle elements within cylindrical tubes.
• Application: General purpose—very suitable for liquid or gas mixing within a continuous pipe.
• Applications: Water treatment, oil & gas, chemical processing.

2. Plate Static Mixers

• Design: Flat plates in stacking order with certain geometries that induce fluid re-direction.
• Application: Very suitable for compact applications where pressure drop needs to be minimized.
• Applications: Food processing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals.

3. Channel Static Mixers

• Design: Fixed–element mixers in open-channel water or chemical applications.
• Application: Utilized in wastewater/water treatment.
• Industries: Municipal water treatment, effluent treatment plants (ETPs).

 4. Laminar Flow Mixers (Helical Element Mixers)

• Design: Employ multiple left-right helical turns which divide and reunite flows.
• Application: Suited for fluids in laminar (low turbulence) flow regimes.
• Industries: Chemical dosing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics.

5. Gas-Liquid Static Mixers

• Design: Specifically designed for the introduction of gases into liquid streams.
• Application: Gas dispersion, aeration, or hydrogenation processes.
• Industries: Oil & gas, beverage carbonation, fermentation.

Common Uses of Static Mixers

Static mixers have broad applications across process industries for uses like:

• Blending liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, or gas-gas phases
• Chemical dosing and blending
• pH neutralization
• Chlorination or ozone disinfection of water
• Dilution of polymers
• Flavoring or carbonation of food and beverages
• Blending viscous fluids (paints, resins, adhesives)

Benefits of Static Mixers

• No Moving Parts: Low maintenance, no wear and tear
• Energy Efficient: Taps into existing flow energy—no motors needed
• Compact Design: Low space requirements
• Highly Repeatable Mixing: Ideal for continuous operations
• Sanitary Options: Options for use in sanitary applications in pharma and food
• Scalable: From lab systems to large industrial pipe lines
