Engineering-focused side entry mixing system designed to control bottom sediment formation, stabilize long-term storage conditions, and improve circulation efficiency in large industrial tanks.
In long-term oil and chemical storage systems, sedimentation is not a single-factor problem. It is caused by a combination of velocity decay, density separation, and insufficient bottom shear stress.
Low flow velocity zones near tank bottom corners
Density difference between oil phases and impurities
Insufficient circulation energy in large-diameter tanks
Long residence time of heavy particles
Without proper flow redesign, sediment layers gradually harden and increase cleaning cost, downtime, and operational risk.
The KEHENG variable angle side entry mixer is designed to change the trajectory of tangential flow inside the tank. By adjusting the injection angle, the system eliminates stagnant zones and forces continuous bottom sweeping circulation.
Flow re-direction toward tank bottom boundary layer
Improved shear stress distribution across storage volume
Reduction of dead zones in large-diameter tanks
Stable long-cycle mixing behavior under low RPM conditions
Unlike fixed side-entry systems, the injection angle can be tuned according to tank behavior.
Flow is directed to specific sediment-prone zones instead of uniform circulation only.
Suitable for changing media conditions such as viscosity increase or temperature variation.
Selecting a side entry mixer is not only about power rating. It depends on tank hydrodynamics, sediment type, and circulation objectives.
Tank diameter and aspect ratio influence flow reach
Crude oil or chemical composition affects deposition tendency
Required turnover rate determines impeller design
Operating cycle impacts gearbox and seal selection
Poor mixing design in storage tanks can lead to long-term operational risks that are often underestimated.
Increased sludge removal cost and downtime
Corrosion acceleration at tank bottom layers
Product quality inconsistency during discharge
Higher energy consumption due to inefficient circulation
KEHENG side entry mixers are designed for long-term industrial operation with minimal maintenance intervention.
Modular gearbox and seal replacement design
Easy-access maintenance structure for tank-side service
Predictable wear components for planned shutdowns
Extended service life under continuous operation conditions
