Baffled Stirred Tank

A baffled stirred tank is a container used in industrial processes to mix liquids efficiently. It has internal panels called baffles that disrupt circular flow, preventing the liquid from spinning as a single vortex. This ensures better mixing, heat transfer, or chemical reactions by promoting uniformity throughout the tank. The stirrer, often a rotating impeller, creates flow, while the baffles improve the mixing performance by inducing turbulence and reducing dead zones where mixing is poor. Overall, this setup enhances process efficiency and consistency in fields like chemical manufacturing and wastewater treatment.
