MixIT is the next generation collaborative mixing analysis and scale-up tool designed to facilitate comprehensive stirred tank analysis using lab and plant data, empirical correlations and advanced 3D CFD models. It combines knowledge management tools and mixing science in a unified environment deployable enterprise-wide.
Why MixIT
•Reduce raw material wastage and costs
–Improved understanding of mixing will help Reduce reaction time scales / excess use of reagents
–Reducing excess use of reagents will help to reduce the material cost
•Reduce Batch Cycle time Increase conversion and selectivity
–Detailed understanding of mixing helps to improve conversion and selectivity
–Reduce number of batches as well as purification stage to reduce cost
•Reduce load on downstream processing
–Improved PSD helps reduce load on filtration and other downstream equipment there by resulting into costs saving
•Mixing scale-up from Lab to Plant
–Plant Reactor Suitability- Agitator type, mixing speed, occupancy
–Agitator design- Agitator type, Number of flights, Sweep diameter, motor rating
–Baffles- no baffles decision
•Mixing scale-down from Plant to Lab
–Reproduce plant mixing environment at lab scale- to understand batch failure, to optimize process for selected plant reactor
•Reactor selection for site to site tech transfer
–Change control support for reactor / batch size / agitator change
