What is Flooding?
Flooding is a gas-liquid mixing condition where gas flow overwhelms the impeller pumping capacity.

Flooding is a gas-liquid mixing condition where gas flow overwhelms the impeller pumping capacity. In industrial mixing, this parameter should be reviewed along with tank geometry, impeller type, fluid properties and operating objective.
Common Applications
- Gas dispersion
- Fermentation
- Aerated reactors
- Mass transfer systems
Selection Factors
Correct selection depends on the process objective and site conditions. For Flooding, Premix usually reviews these points before recommending equipment:
- Gas flow rate
- Impeller speed
- Power input
- Tank geometry
Why It Matters In Plant Operation
Flooding affects process stability, chemical usage, equipment life and final output quality. A correctly selected solution helps reduce trial-and-error at site and supports more predictable daily operation.
