Abstract

A static mixer having one or more stages and/or elements. The static mixer may be scaled from bench size to any commercially desired size. During scale-up the surface area to void volume ratio is maintained constant. Maintaining this ratio constant may be accomplished by increasing the number of bars in each element of the static mixer.
