Abstract:
A system for mixing a fluid in a tank includes a set of mixers and a controller. The set of mixers is disposed proximal to a perimeter of the tank. The set of mixers are operable to pivot. The controller is configured to control the set of mixers to pivot from a first orientation to a second orientation. The controller is configured to control each mixer of the set of mixers to stop pivoting in a first direction in response to each respective mixer achieving a predetermined intermediate orientation and the controller is configured to control the set of mixers to continue pivoting in the first direction in response to all mixers of the set of mixers achieving the predetermined intermediate orientation.
