EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objective of KTP RDU 141004 project is to enhance the
productivity output of liquid fertilizer factory. One of the factors to be
improved is to increase the efficiency of mixing system. At the early
stage of the project, it was found that the existing mixing system
takes around 6 hours to produce liquid fertilizer from raw materials
preparation up to finishing product. This existing system was not 66
properly designed, fabricated and maintained. To overcome the
problem and improve the productivity, a new mixing system was
proposed.

The main criteria for the newly proposed system are efficient mixing
process and easy maintenance. To ensure efficient mixing process,
the ingredients should be uniformly mixed by the impeller and
uniformly distributed in the mixer tank. To achieve this condition, the
mixing system should be able to create turbulence and vortex type
of fluid movement in the tank. This is being done by proper design of
impeller geometry and speed to control of the fluid velocity.

Overall, the project was successfully completed and has created
good relationship between industry and university as well as capa-
ble to leverage the university image for future projects.
