What are the Consequences of Incorrect Agitator Speed?
Operating at an incorrect agitator speed can result in several issues:
Poor Mixing: Insufficient mixing can lead to uneven distribution of reactants and hot spots, reducing reaction efficiency. Catalyst Deactivation: Excessive shear forces from high speeds can damage the catalyst, leading to deactivation and reduced catalyst lifespan. Energy Wastage: Higher speeds require more energy, leading to increased operational costs without necessarily improving reaction outcomes. Inconsistent Product Quality: Uneven mixing can result in variations in product quality, affecting the consistency and purity of the desired products.
