Abstract
A fluid mixing system including a fluid mixing device and method for generating and maintaining a substantially uniform, horizontal velocity profile in a fluid circulation system, such as a plug flow reactor, which requires less horsepower than conventional fluid mixing systems without losing mixing effectiveness. The fluid mixing device employs a top-entry, vertically-oriented impeller and a housing that directs the pumped flow in a generally horizontal direction.
