Chemical Mixing Reactor™
The Mazzei Chemical Mixing Reactor™ (CMR) was specifically designed to rapidly mix coagulants into a mainline flow. The CMR is based on Mazzei’s successful Pipeline Flash Reactor™ (PFR), a proven solution for mixing and contacting which has been installed in numerous municipal facilities worldwide.
Drawing on over forty years of design expertise, in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, and extensive physical testing, the Mazzei CMR was created. Employing CFD modeling ensures peak performance and instills confidence among consulting engineers and facility owners in the CMR’s reliability.
With its highly effective mixing capabilities, the CMR eliminates the need for excessive coagulant usage often required to compensate for inadequate mixing, which leads to cost savings and a reduction in solids handling requirements. Improved coagulation results in a reduction of both turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC), improving water quality and UV transmittance for both settled and filtered water.
Benefits of Mazzei Chemical Mixing Reactor:
- The CMR’s nozzle-based system achieves exceptional mixing while causing almost no mainline pressure loss, even in facilities with widely varying mainline flow rates.
- Upon injection, the chemical immediately enters a highly turbulent zone and rapidly disperses into the bulk water flow.
- The CMR contains no moving parts and requires zero routine maintenance.
- With its compact design, the CMR is perfect for retrofit applications where space is limited.
- Improved coagulation results in operational benefits such as extended filter run-times, increased unit filter run volume (UFRV), and more effective disinfection.
- With no traditional static mixing elements, obstruction to the mainline flow is prevented, eliminating potential issues such as unacceptable pressure losses or accumulation points for debris
