  • Publication number: 20110230679
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a static phosgene mixer, and more generally, to an apparatus for mixing of fluid components such as phosgene and amine during an highly reactive, chemical reaction that is vulnerable to the creation of undesired by-products, and equipment fouling. A guide element is disposed in the static mixer to divert the incoming flow of phosgene around the guide element and create an annular mixing passage in the static mixer. This allows for the use of an increased external radius of the effective phosgene flow while maintaining phosgene velocity by creating a blockage of the flow. The same flow, when transformed from a circular configuration to an annular configuration has an increased external radius, and a greater quantity of MDA jets can be placed along the increased radius, thus increasing the overall homogeneity of the mixture.
