The industrial sense is a straightforward extension of 'agitation' as stirring or mixing, plus the adjective suffix '-al'.

Etymology

Agitational comes from the Latin verb agitare, which means 'to move' and is the same root as agitate, meaning 'to shake' or 'to stir'. So an agitational process describes the stirring or movement that mixes a liquid or substance.
