Reliability of Equipment:
Continuous samplers operate automatically from remote control stations.  All equipment associated with automatic sampling must be designed for unquestionable reliability of operation.  Plenty has been manufacturing and marketing mixers to the oil industry for over 50 years.  The range of Pipeline Power Mixers is derived from the field proven range of side entry mixers.  Hundreds of smaller Pipeline Power Mixers have been in successful operation for many years and since 1980 sampling mixers have been provided for 24", 26", 30", 34", 36" and 38" lines.  Simplicity provides reliability of operation.

The Plenty package consists not only of the mixer but also low maintenance, reliable operations and over 200 years of engineering excellence.

Oil Industry Sampling Applications:
The Plenty Pipeline Power Mixer can be installed either into a new Pipeline or an existing Pipeline, and with our fabrication / manufacturing facilities we can offer a Pipeline Power Mixer complete with connection flanges to suit your existing Pipeline, so there is no need for your operation to shutdown for long periods of time.

	Reason for high sediment and water at sampling point:
	Settling of water in storage facility  Unequal division of a large load  Stratification of water/oil layers  Settling at low points in pipeline

Economy and Pressure Drop:
Efficient mixing requires energy. This is normally supplied by means of the transfer pumps and is generated by obstructions in the pipe causing an increase in pressure drop. The degree of mixing will also fluctuate depending upon flow rate and product characteristics (Density / Viscosity). 

The design objective is to minimize pressure drops and so minimize pumping energy required. When fixed vane type mixers are used for mixing, very high-pressure drops occur at high flow rates and minimal mixing occurs at low flow rates. No consistency is obtained, product quality varies.

Plenty Pipeline Power Mixers have low-pressure drops and hence negligible effects on transfer pumping.  By mixing just prior to sampling the most efficient use of energy is made. Mixing performance is consistent and predictable.

	Guaranteed Mixing:
	Immiscible liquids and solids will separate unless sufficient agitation occurs then stable emulsions will form.  A static mixer can be designed to provide the correct amount of agitation for constant flow applications.  Plenty Pipeline Power Mixers are designed to provide consistent performance over wide turndown ratios of flow.  This unique performance is achieved by use of patented Plenty Impellators.  Surface tension is broken down and droplet size is maintained without over emulsification.  Mixing performance is guaranteed.
