Abstract
Methods of administering biocide to industrial water in an industrial water process are provided. The methods may be carried out using a reactor for generating an oxidative biocide and delivering the oxidative biocide to a liquid stream. The reactor includes, among other things, a reaction chamber and packing positioned within the reaction chamber to facilitate mixing of at least two reactants.
Claims19
A system for treating an industrial water stream, the system comprising:
- (a) a conduit for diverting a portion of an industrial water stream into a side stream thereof,
- (b) a filter for removing solids from the industrial water side stream, and
- (c) a reactor for generating an oxidative biocide comprising
- a body comprising a reaction chamber,
- a first inlet port for receiving a first biocide reactant,
- a second inlet port for receiving a second biocide reactant, each of the inlet ports in fluid communication with the reaction chamber,
- an outlet port in fluid communication with both the reaction chamber and the conduit;
- and
- packing positioned within the reaction chamber to facilitate mixing of the first and second reactants,
- wherein
- the packing occupies from about 25 percent to about 75 percent of the volume of the reaction chamber;
- and
- the reactor is at least partially submerged in the portion of the industrial water side stream that is downstream from and filtered by the filter.
