Flow limits – Viskosity
mixed organic material belongs to the structural viscose or non-Newtonian fluids
The viscosity is changing during mixing
The Viscosity is the important value but you can not measure it!
Effective mixing – Dr. Eilert Balssen June 14, 2011 13
Flow limits - DM-content %
The limit can be measured experimentally only, because:
You never know the substrate in advance
You can reach the limit under 10 % or over 15 % depending on the material
Generally fresh material like corn silage is more difficult to mix then „predigested“ material like manure
The DM is the best measurable value for orientation
Effective mixing – Dr. Eilert Balssen June 14, 2011 14
Flow limits – Thrust based mixing
The flow limit is reached if the media flowing the „short way“ back to the propeller
We call that „short cut“
Outside this limit you can mix only with a kneading technique

ITT Flygt Standard
Effective mixing – Dr. Eilert Balssen June 14, 2011 18
The ITT standard is related to Flygt mixers 4600 series up to 25 kW
The selection is based on the thrust!
Traditionally it is calculated in installed power in W/m³digester volume
Our recommendation: minimum 20 W/m³
Nowadays we show it in thrust per volume

Volume load (kg DM / m³ x d) digester volume. DM and not organic DM!
Energy consumption- by volume (Wh/m³ x d)- by volume load (Wh/kg x d)
Calculation factor for different materials:- corn silage as “base material” has the factor 1- manure as “pre-digested material has 0,5 - Gras silage and other heavy material has 2
retention time (digester volume m³/daily load m³) = days

Results:
Thrust reserve is reducing the energy consumption especially with high volume load
manure decrease the demanded thrust
high manure content increase the digester volume and the energy consumption
grass, grain and poultry manure increase the demanded thrust

The basis for both test should be comparable
but they have been much more difficult for banana
with the high load we got very good results
the combination of high thrust/energy banana and compact mixer for crust mixing is the best
banana and compact mixer are relative easy to maintain
low risk of losses during maintenance

Dimensioning of mixers
all you need to get a tank mixed is:
thrust !!!
Effective mixing – Dr. Eilert Balssen June 14, 2011 30
Dimensioning of mixers
The specification of all Flygt mixers are based on the thrust
The needed thrust is depending on the tank size and the medium (viscosity)
The dimensioning of Flygt mixers takes place with the help of the software program MIDS.
Our selection charts show the needed mixers in relation to the tank size
