Which is the best type of mixer to use prior to sampling?
(OP)
I am designing a sample point for an offshore platform and need to ensure a homogenous mixture (of produced water and condensate) is obtained prior to sampling. Assuming a liquid full section of pipework can be obtained, which would provide better mixing: an electric mixer or a static mixer?
Are there any inline electric mixers for pipelines available? I have managed to find plenty of mixers for vessels butvery few for pipework.
Would a static mixer be suitable for such an application?
Thanks!

The use of a restriction orifice has also been suggested to me but I am dealing with very low operating pressures and so have limited liquid head available.
I am interested to know how DCASTO's pitot tube arrangement worked. Did you have any problems with blockages?

If you choose to install one make certain you have sufficient block valves, bleeds, bypass, etc. to roll it out online. Their design does make them prone to catching any large junk that comes down the line, and then you can throw low DP out the window.
