<p>A slurry tank receives a process flow of slurry upstream from a sampling device. A horizontal mixer in the slurry tank has a plurality of multi-blade mixing units mounted on a horizontal mixer shaft, the mixer shaft being connected to a drive motor. The multi-blade mixing units have blades, or paddles, with faces which lie in a plane parallel to a plane passing through an axis of rotation of the mixer shaft; or with faces inclined to such a plane. The output flow of the (now-homogeneous) slurry passes over an overflow weir in the tank to flow to the sampling device. A vertical transverse baffle is provided intermediate the inflow of the process flow and the horizontal mixer; with a slurry flow path formed between the transverse baffle and the bottom wall of the slurry tank.</p> |
