One of the Top 50 Cosmetic Brands – Oriflame talks about how Tridiagonal Solutions flagship product MixIT helped them explore the untapped potential of CFD modelling of mixing in stirred tank reactors in the Cosmetic Industry Space.
Jennifer Farrell, Process & Testing Technology Development Manager at Oriflame Cosmetics, R&D, Ireland published an article on “Scale-up Success: Untapping the Potential of Computational Fluid Dynamics” in Cosmetics & Toileteries Magazine on May 01, 2018. This article represents how MixIT – an Enterprise Mixing Analysis Tool and a Flagship product of Tridiagonal Solutions, helped Oriflame strengthen their ability to scale-up and transfer manufacturing and filling methods from one mixer geometry to another. Oriflame accomplished this by using the modern quantitative scaling method aided by CFD for mixing in stirred tanks. The CFD analysis performed by MixIT helped in visualization of flow patterns, mixing ‘dead zones’ and liquid velocities across a vessel.
The example shared in this article exhibits the benefits of how the process engineers/chemists can select the best vessel geometry for a given product. It also motivates the smaller cosmetic companies to explore this technology because of its feasibility and reducing CFD cost. To read the complete article, please login here
