A Solids Mixer-Settler Extractor is used to represent an equipment resource typically used to host an extraction procedure with a main objective to carry out the partitioning of solutes between liquid solvent phases and a solids phase. A mixer settler consists of a first stage that mixes the phases together followed by a quiescent settling stage that allows the phases to separate by gravity. The procedure can be executed in a batch or continuous mode.
See Mixer-Settler Extractor: Equipment Tab.
In Calculate (Design Mode), the user specifies the Maximum Throughput and the system computes the Number of Units, Number of Stages, Rated Throughput, Mixer Volume and Settler Volume. For more information on the sizing of this unit, see Mixer-Settler Extraction: Modeling Calculations.
n User-Defined (Rating Mode), the user specifies the Number of Units, Number of Stages, Rated Throughput, Mixer Volume and Settler Volume.
The equipment purchase cost is based on the mixer tank volume and the settler tank volume. It is supplied by the built-in model assuming as material of construction SS316 and it is a affected by the number of extraction stages.
