Embodiments include systems and methods of in-line mixing of hydrocarbon liquids and/or renewable liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline based on density or gravity. According to an embodiment, a method of admixing hydrocarbon liquids from a plurality of tanks into a single pipeline to provide in-line mixing thereof includes initiating a blending process. The blending process including continuously blending two or more liquids over a period of time, each of the two or more liquids stored in corresponding tanks, each of the corresponding tanks connected, via pipeline, to a blend pipe thereby blending the two or more liquids into a blended liquid. The method further includes determining a density of each of the two or more liquids to be blended during the blending process. The method includes, in response to a determination that the blend process has not finished and after the passage of a specified time interval, determining an actual blend density of the blended liquid, via a blend sensor connected to the blend pipe, the blended liquid flowing through the blend pipe and in contact with the blend sensor, and the specified time interval less than a total duration of the blending process. The method includes determining an actual blend density of the blended liquid, via a blend sensor connected to the blend pipe, the blended liquid flowing through the blend pipe and in contact with the blend sensor, and the specified time interval less than a total duration of the blending process; comparing the actual blend density with a target blend density; and in response to a difference, based on the comparison, of the actual blend density and target blend density determining a corrected ratio based on each density of the two or more liquids, the actual blend density, and the target blend density and adjusting, via one or more flow control devices, flow of one or more of the two or more liquids, based on the corrected ratio.

Glycine is an organic compound that can be used in the making of a synthetic acid that obviates all the drawbacks of strong acids such as hydrochloric acid. The new compound is made by dissolving glycine in water, in a weight ratio of approximately 1:1 to 1:1.5. The solution is mixed until the glycine is essentially fully dissolved in the water. Once dissolution is complete, hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in the solution to produce the new compound, which can be referred to as hydrogen glycine. Also disclosed is a method for adjusting the pH of a fluid, the method comprising adding an effective amount of a solution to the fluid for adjusting the pH thereof to a desired level, wherein the solution is prepared by mixing glycine in water to form a glycine solution; and adding hydrogen chloride to the glycine solution.

A device for applying an at least two-component viscous material to workpieces, includes a metering unit which has a number of metering valves corresponding to the number of components of the viscous material, and a static mixer which has a mixing tube, for mixing the components introduced using the metering unit into a material inlet at its first end and during passage from the material inlet to a material outlet at its second end, and an outer tube, wherein the mixing tube is received in the outer tube and, at the material inlet and at the material outlet, is sealed off from the environment using respective seals. The seals each have a circumferential cutting edge, and the cutting edges, when subjected to force in a direction towards each other, each cut into an end face on the mixing tube.

The present invention relates to methods and systems for producing a foamed adhesive. A method for foaming an adhesive includes feeding an adhesive from a supply storage tank to a pump, conveying the adhesive outputted by the pump through an adhesive flow meter, injecting an air into the adhesive once the adhesive travels through the adhesive flow meter, feeding a mixture of the adhesive and air to a static mixer, mixing the mixture homogeneously with the static mixer such that the adhesive is foamed, and transporting the foamed adhesive to a product storage tank.

This mixing member is provided with a base portion disposed in the exhaust pipe, separated from an inner wall thereof, and a plurality of blade portions which extend from the base portion toward the inner wall, and which generate a swirling flow of the exhaust gas on a downstream side, in the exhaust direction, of the mixing member, wherein: the blade portions are disposed inclined with respect to the exhaust direction such that the position of a connecting portion with the base portion is at a most downstream position thereof, in the exhaust direction; and the base portion includes a reducing agent passage which penetrates through both end surfaces thereof in the exhaust direction, and which allows the reducing agent to pass through from an upstream side to a downstream side of the mixing member in the exhaust direction.

The invention relates to a spray mixer for mixing and spraying at least two flowable components. The spray mixer (22) is provided with a tubular outer mixer housing (23) which extends in the direction of a mixer longitudinal axis (24) from a mixer start (25) to a distal mixer end (26). A mixer inner housing (29) which accommodates a mixer element (33) is arranged in the mixer outer housing (23). A mixer compressed air inlet (31) is arranged at the mixer start (25). The mixer compressed air inlet (31) is connected by means of a mixer compressed air channel (30) to an annular mixer compressed air outlet (32) which encloses a mixer outlet opening (35). In the operation of the spray mixer (22), compressed air is supplied via the mixer compressed air inlet (31), flows through the mixer compressed air channel (30) to the mixer compressed air outlet (32) and atomizes and sprays the material emerging from the mixer outlet opening (35). In order for the spray mixer to be easy to handle, the mixer outer housing (23), the mixer inner housing (29) and the mixer element (33) are combined in a single unit. This is achieved by connecting the indicated components to each other in a manner to secure against loss.
