Abstract
A blending system for dispersing continuously in a fixed proportion of a dispersed first solids flow into a second bulk solids flow thereby forming a homogeneous solids flow. The system includes an upright vessel having an outlet for the homogeneous solids at its lower extremity. One or more blending stages are disposed within the vessel above the outlet. The blending stage has an inverted Vee element with inclined side surfaces mounted centrally within the vessel and with its apex pointed upwardly. A first inlet for the first solids resides vertically above the apex of the element. A second inlet for the second solids has a discharge opening about the first inlet and displaced laterally from the apex of the element. The dispersed first solids are supplied at a certain flow rate through the first inlet to flow about the apex of the element and downwardly along its side surfaces. The second solids are supplied at a certain flow rate through the second inlet to flow downwardly along the side surfaces of the element whereat the dispersed first solids are uniformly distributed into the second solids to produce a homogeneous solids flow removed through the outlet from the vessel.
