Agitated Vessels for pH Adjustment
Agitated vessels for pH adjustment are mixing systems designed for rapid incorporation and reaction of acids or bases for pH control. These vessels provide intense mixing at the chemical addition point to prevent localized pH extremes while achieving rapid equilibration for effective process control.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for pH Adjustment?
pH adjustment requires agitated vessels that rapidly disperse added chemicals before localized pH extremes can damage products or equipment. Concentrated acids and bases must be diluted instantly upon addition. Proper mixing enables tight pH control with minimal chemical usage and prevents pH-related product degradation.

Agitated Vessels for pH Adjustment FAQs
Why is rapid mixing critical for pH adjustment?
Concentrated acids and bases create extreme localized pH at the addition point before dilution. Instant mixing prevents these extremes from damaging products, precipitating components, or denaturing proteins. Rapid dispersion also enables responsive pH control with minimal reagent consumption.
What vessel features optimize pH control?
pH control optimization uses chemical addition near the impeller for instant dispersion, rapid blend times for quick response, pH probe positioning in representative locations, and vessel sizing appropriate for control system response. We design systems for tight, stable pH control.
