Chemical Introduction Sulzer Mixers are used for a wide range of mixing duties in the Chemical Process industry. The applications range from mixing of liquids of various viscosities, mixing including reaction, gas liquid contacting/ mass transfer and absorption, gas mixing and liquid evaporation in order to cope with corrosive chemicals the mixers are available in a wide range of materials. More EDC (1,2 Ethylene dichloride) production EDC is produced by contacting and absorbing Ethylene and Chlorine gas in an EDC reflux liquid stream. More Ethylbenzene production Ethylbenzene is produced by a catalytic alkylation reaction between Ethylene and Benzene. Ethylene gas is dispersed and brought to intimate contact with Benzene liquid to facilitate absorption. More Formaldehyde production Formaldehyde is obtained by catalytic oxidation of methanol. The static mixer SMV™ provides a homogeneous mixture between methanol and air within a short distance to ensure the optimal operating condition for the catalyst. More Maleic anhydride production Maleic anhydride is obtained by catalytic oxidation of n-butane. The static mixer SMV™ facilitates this reaction by providing a homogeneous mixture between n-butane and the air stream. More Nitric acid production Nitric acid is obtained by ammonia conversion in two steps. In the first step ammonia is oxidized to nitric oxide with the air oxygen in the presence of a platinum catalyst. The static mixer SMV™ secures a homogeneous mixture between ammonia and air to provide the optimal operating conditions for the catalyst bed. More Phthalic anhydride production Phthalic anhydride is obtained by catalytic oxidation of o-xylene. The static mixer SMV™ enables the evaporation of the liquid xylene and the subsequent homogeneous mixture between gaseous xylene and air. More Polycarbonate production Polycarbonate is formed from Bisphenol A either in a phosgene based or phosgene-free process. In both of these processes a wide range of mixer applications in different production stages are well established. More Styrene monomer production Styrene monomer is produced by a catalytic dehydrogenation reaction of Ethylenbenzene. Ethylbenzene gas is mixed with steam and fed to the reactor. More Terephthalic acid production Terephthalic acid is used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by catalytic oxidation of p-xylene in acetic acid in the presence of air. In order to ensure the optimal reaction the catalyst is mixed into the xylene/acetic acid mixture. More Other applications Sulzer mixers have been operating successfully in the chemical industry for many years. Some typical applications are: More
