There is provided an apparatus and method for fluid mixing, which enable mixing efficiency to be enhanced and enable a lodging impurity to be easily removed. A liquid, powder, or the like is added from a pipe 2 to a liquid flowing in a pipe 1, and the resultant liquid then passes a plurality of half-open ball valves 3A to 3C, thereby being mixed. The ball valves 3A to 3C each have angular difference &thetas; in the position around the axis thereof. Sufficient mixing can be performed without preparing a static mixer having a complicated structure. In addition, in the case where clogging due to an impurity occurs, the valve is opened with the result that the impurity can be released. |
