Industrial mixing processes often present multiple optimization challenges to producing desirable products. The resulting processes must be cost effective, first-time right, and frequently, the designated most-effective technology for the global manufacture of specific products. Mixing Process Technology: A Guide to Industrial Applications shares the authors extensive knowledge of mixing research and industrial practice. It features 20 industrial mixing chapters that are purposely light on mixing fundamentals, while heavy on practical mixing applications for practical process design and manufacturing. This text serves as an applied guide to industrial mixing for practitioners who want brief explanations of mixing concepts with real-life examples and software to help performlã[
