Claims18
A liquid polymer activation system, comprising:
- a cover having a first distal end and a second distal end, wherein each distal end is opposite to each other;
- a first flange connected to the first distal end and a second flange connected to the second distal end, wherein such configuration creates a chamber inside the cover that is flanked by the first flange and the second flange;
- wherein the first flange comprises at least one inlet for receiving one or more substances and the second flange comprises at least one outlet for releasing the one or more substances;
- a submersible actuator connected to the second flange;
- a high shear mixer for mixing the one or more substances;
- wherein the high shear mixer is connected to a motorized shaft extension which in turn is connected to the submersible actuator, whose rotation rotates the high shear mixer;
- a first retention mechanism for receiving the one or more substances;
- a second retention mechanism for receiving the one or more substances from the first retention mechanism and wherein said second retention mechanism encircles the first retention mechanism;
- wherein said submersible actuator, said high shear mixer, said first retention mechanism and said second retention mechanism are located inside said chamber;
- wherein the first retention mechanism and the second retention mechanism are connected to the first flange;
- wherein the first retention mechanism is connected to the submersible actuator via a coupling ring;
- wherein the at least one inlet leads the one or more substances into the first retention mechanism in which the one or more substances are mixed by the high shear mixer;
- wherein the high shear mixer directs the mixed one or more substances towards the submersible actuator;
- wherein the mixed one or more substances are then directed by the high shear mixer, through one or more grooves in the first retention mechanism, towards the second retention mechanism;
- and
- wherein once in the second retention mechanism, the mixed one or more substances are directed, via one or more openings in the second retention mechanism, towards the at least one outlet.
