Why is Agitation Essential in Lithium Processing ?

Designing agitators for lithium processing is complex, and insufficient mixing can significantly reduce the performance and quality of the entire process. ​To help you identify these critical points — and avoid costly design errors – EKATO FLUID will explain the most important aspects you need to consider.

Objectives:​

This webinar is designed for process and chemical engineers, R&D specialists, and plantdesign professionals working in the chemical and mining industries. You will benefit fromEKATO’s extensive experience and gain valuable knowledge to ensure a reliable andcost‑effective agitator design for your hydrometallurgical plant.

What does “Number of sealing faces” mean?

Single-acting mechanical seals
These seals have one sealing surface and only seal in one direction. They are generally simpler in design and are commonly used in applications where pressure is applied from only one side.

Double-acting mechanical seals
These seals have two sealing surfaces and can seal in both directions. They are ideal for applications where pressure may come from both sides or where a higher sealing performance is required.

Triple-acting mechanical seals
These are less common and used in specialized applications that require a more complex sealing setup. They offer additional sealing surfaces or mechanisms to ensure reliable sealing even in highly demanding environments.
