The present invention is directed to an applicator having an agricultural product mechanical and/or pneumatic conveying system which transfers particulate material from one or more source containers to application equipment on demand, and meters the material at the application equipment. The conveying system includes a static distributor interconnecting the supply lines of the conveying system with the distribution lines connected to the individual nozzles. The static distributor includes internal structures that effectively divert the incoming particulate material evenly across the interior of the static distributor such that the particulate material is evenly distributed into each of the distribution lines. The static distributor accomplishes this without the need for any moving parts or control systems/devices. In addition, damage done to the particulate material flowing through the distributor is not high, and the operation of the distributor creates a lower pressure drop across the distributor than prior art vertical distributors.

A static mixer for mixing a flow of two or more fluids is disclosed. The static mixer includes a mixing conduit that defines a mixing passage, and a mixing element configured to be received by the mixing passage that includes at least two mixing baffles. Each of the at least two mixing baffles comprises a plurality panels that are configured to divide and mix the fluid as the fluid flows through the mixing passage. No continuous sidewalls extend between the at least two mixing baffles, and the mixing element is tapered along a longitudinal direction.

A static mixer is provided. The static mixer includes a plurality of static mixer elements. Each static mixer element includes a core extending axially along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. Each static mixer element includes at least one blade around an outside of the core. At least a first one of the plurality of static mixer elements includes a first keying feature. At least a second one of the plurality of static mixer elements including a second keying feature configured to engage the first keying feature to prevent relative rotation between the first one of the plurality of static mixer elements and the second one of the plurality of static mixer elements about the longitudinal axes of the first one and the second one of the plurality of static mixer elements. Methods of forming the static mixer are also provided.

An intermixer or mixing device with frame structure and suspended bluff body array for use in a stationary (e.g., non-auto) SCR catalyst environment to reduce RMS levels of a mix of NO.sub.x pollutant and reduction reagent. SCR reactor apparatus with SCR catalyst module block supported on the intermixer. The SCR reactor apparatus works in an SCR reactor assembly having the SCR reactor apparatus at a first SCR1 layer plus a downstream SCR2 layer. The reduced RMS level of the mix coming from the SCR1 layer is readily able to be treated by the SCR2 layer. An SCR system features the SCR reactor assembly and a combustion source such as a coal-fired plant. Methods of assembly and operating each of the mixing device, SCR reactor apparatus, assembly and system are also featured.

A static mixer includes a mixer housing, a mixing element including mixing bodies arranged one after another along a longitudinal axis so as to be capable of repeated separation and recombination of components, each of the mixing bodies including a first and second inlets, first and second lateral outlets and an intermediate outlet disposed between the first and the second lateral outlet, an input wall separating the first and second inlets, a deflection element arranged downstream of and adjacent to the input wall, first and second output walls arranged downstream of and adjacent to the deflection element, the first output wall separating the first lateral outlet and the intermediate outlet and the second output wall separating the intermediate outlet and the second lateral outlet.
