- Pre-distribution tab spreads wall-injected additive into a horseshoe shape before it reaches the mixing elements, improving measured mixture quality (CoV) by at least 10% over a multihole sparger injector across a wide range of flow rates, per the manufacturer
- Simple wall injection point usable with just a flanged nozzle or threaded boss; an injection fitting with shutoff device can also be fitted
- Three model variants (WVMA, WVMB, WVMC) trade off pressure loss versus the mixer length needed to reach a 0.05 (5%) CoV: WVMA gives the highest pressure loss with the shortest length, WVMC the lowest pressure loss with the longest length, WVMB in between
- Each mixing element generates two vortices, so each bank of elements generates eight, with successive banks maintaining and intensifying the vortices along the mixer length and downstream
- Improved mixing performance at very low flow rates (0.1-0.3 m/sec), per the manufacturer
- Test data validated by an independent organization, per the manufacturer
Kenics WVM Static Mixers
The Kenics Water Vortex Mixer (WVM) builds on HEV mixer technology with a simple wall-mounted additive injection point, a pre-distribution tab, and banks of trapezoidal mixing elements. Three model variants (A, B, and C) let the length-versus-pressure-drop tradeoff be tuned to a given project's design constraints.
Features & Benefits
Applications
Manufacturer markets the WVM specifically to the water and wastewater treatment industry, citing lower capex and opex versus alternative injection/mixing approaches
Performance
- Pre-distribution tab improves CoV by at least 10% over a multihole sparger, with the largest improvement at low Reynolds number (0.1 m/sec) conditions
- Three model variants span the pressure-loss-vs-length design tradeoff for reaching a 0.05 (5%) CoV
About The Manufacturer
Geiger Pump and Equipment is proud to represent Kenics in the Mid-Atlantic market. Kenics is the industry standard for inline static mixing and heat transfer — delivering precise blending, dispersion, and thermal transfer with no moving parts and no external power. Kenics static mixers and heat exchangers are trusted across the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water and wastewater, pulp and paper, and oil and gas industries, offering heat transfer rates significantly higher than conventional shell and tube designs. Backed by Geiger's application expertise, we'll help you find the right Kenics solution for your process.
