Chemical Blend Unit Fäth Chemical Blend Unit is designed to blend up to 3 different liquid chemicals using precision-engineered static mixers. The flow rates of the liquid chemicals are measured with leading-edge flow meters that exploit the latest electric sensing technology for greater control of process variables. The intricate design allows up to 1% full-scale accuracy for critical measurements and minimizing dead volume in the system. The built-in modern and sophisticated metrology ensures that only a homogenous mixture with high quality is delivered consistently. The continuous mixing process enables simultaneous filling and consumption of a single-day tank to promote footprint optimization. The system design emphasizes optimizing sustainability and reliability while reducing energy consumption by using an economical design approach. The equipment design considerations span several areas, including conforming to regulatory requirements to consistently meet operating objectives, occupational health, and safety standards. The system is controlled using the integration of PLC and HMI to facilitate fully automatic operations that require minimal user intervention while providing the user with a visual overview of the system’s status at a glance. Various safety features are incorporated into the system to detect hazards and perform necessary functions automatically to mitigate accidents.
