Abstract
A stationary material mixing apparatus for mixing various components in a fluid stream. The mixing apparatus is in the shape of a conduit which is made up of individual biscuit sections which are aligned along a longitudinal axis, the biscuit sections each containing a plurality of openings therethrough where within openings are located mixing elements which induce a rotational angular velocity to the fluid stream.

A stationary material mixing apparatus for mixing a fluid stream which is in the shape of a conduit compromising individual biscuit sections which are aligned along a longitudinal axis, said biscuit sections each possessing a plurality of openings where within said openings are located mixing elements which induce a rotational angular velocity to the fluid stream passing therethrough, said apparatus being further characterized such that substantially all of said mixing elements induce the same rotational sign to said fluid and wherein at least some of said openings in any one biscuit are misaligned with respect to openings in adjacent biscuit elements and at least one of said openings in one or more of said biscuits is blocked to the flow of said fluid stream.
A stationary material mixing apparatus for mixing a fluid stream which is in the shape of a conduit comprising individual biscuit sections which are aligned along a longitudinal axis, said biscuit sections each compromising an opening located at the geometric center of said biscuit sections and two or more additional openings located adjacent said centrally located opening and wherein in at least some of the biscuit sections, the centrally located opening has been blocked and wherein in unblocked openings of each biscuit are placed mixing elements which induce a rotational angular velocity to the fluid stream passing therethrough, said apparatus being further characterized such that substantially all of said mixing elements induce the same rotational sign to said fluid passing therethrough and wherein said openings in any one biscuit which are located adjacent to said centrally located opening are misaligned with respect to openings in adjacent biscuit elements.
