A mixing inclined belt conveyor capable of mixing particulate material, specifically wet, freshly treated plant seeds for agricultural purposes. Inserting a plurality of mixing baffles into the stream of the particulate material induces a backflow of the particulate material. In the case of wet, freshly treated plant seed, this backflow causes a mixing, polishing, and drying of the plant seed. The mixing distributes the seed treatment into an even coat by rubbing the individual seeds of the seed flow stream together. The mixing baffles are oriented to induce backflow and sideways lateral movement and may incorporate a passage to allow increase material flow rate. 1. A mixing apparatus for a conveyor , the mixing apparatus comprising: i. a central portion;', 'ii. a peripheral portion;', 'iii. a lower portion having a curvilinear shape;', 'iv. a passage disposed within at least one of the central portion and the peripheral portion; and', 'v. an L-shaped bracket mounted to the first mixing baffle., 'a. a first mixing baffle2.

Controlling the dust emissions from the discharge of bulk materials from a container provides many benefits. A support structure may include a plurality of outlets or chutes for discharging the bulk material. A dust control damper coupled to the outlets not currently in use for the discharge of bulk material may prevent dust from escaping into the surrounding air. The dust control dampers may automatically transition between a closed position and an open position. A flexibly collapsible shroud may also be coupled to a discharge gate of a container. The shroud may expand to seal against the outlet when bulk material is discharge. A vacuum system at or near an outlet may reclaim any dust that escapes during discharge of the bulk material.

CONTROLLING LOCAL FLUID AGE IN A STIRRED REACTOR

Номер: US20170136436A1
Автор: Hawryluk Andrew
Принадлежит: NOVA CHEMICALS (INTERNATIONAL) S.A.

In a stirred tank chemical reactor the mean age of the reactor contents affects a number of properties of the product, including for example the homogeneity of the product. The mean average age of the reactor contents can be determined by constructing a transparent model of the reactor and filling it with a fluid containing a fluorescent dye and having flow properties comparable to those of the reactor in use. A light is shone on the fluid as it is stirred under reaction conditions and a clear fluid flow into the model. Pictures are taken of the reactor contents and the mean fluid age of the contents of the model are determined relative to the exit age of the contents. This approach can be applied to determine for example which reactor ports to use, what agitator to use, what flow rates to use to improve reactor function. 1. A method to determine a preferred inlet location for a continuous stirred tank reactor comprising:1) preparing a transparent model comparable to the reactor in question, including the agitator design and a number of alternate inlet ports preferably having at least one planar exterior surface;2) filling the reactor with a test fluid having a viscosity chosen to produce the desired Reynolds number, which fluid contains a uniform concentration of a tracer dye which fluoresces under a known wavelength of incident light;3) flowing six times the reactor volume of test fluid without dye into and through the reactor using a selected inlet port with the agitator running at a constant speed to provide a constant Reynolds number to introduce a step change in concentration of the tracer dye in the reactor;4) while the dye is being washed out of the reactor and during mixing, subjecting the reactor contents to a plane of laser light (through the planar surface of the reactor), whose wavelength causes the dye to fluoresce at a different wavelength from that of the laser;5) taking digital images of the fluorescent light from the reactor through a filter to ...
