A liquid polymer or chemical activation system, comprising:
- a chamber having a top chamber flange on a first distal end and a bottom chamber flange on a second distal end, wherein each distal end is opposite to each other;
- a top cover plate secured to the top chamber flange on the first distal end of the chamber via one or more bolts;
- a middle cover plate and a bottom cover plate secured to the bottom chamber flange on the second distal end of the chamber via one or more bolts, wherein the middle cover plate lies between the lower chamber flange and the bottom cover plate;
- wherein such configuration creates a hollow space inside the chamber that is flanked by the top cover plate and the bottom cover plate;
- a blending reactor with one or more inlets for receiving one or more substances;
- an upper multistage mixing cup configured to receive the one or more substances from the one or more inlets;
- at least one high shear mixer for mixing the one or more substances;
- at least one submersible actuator for actuating the high shear mixer;
- wherein the high shear mixer is attached to a shaft extension which, in turn, is coupled to the submersible actuator via a shaft coupling unit;
- an intermediate blending section configured to receive the one or more substances from the upper multistage mixing cup;
- a cup base flange having a support platform for supporting one end of the upper multistage mixing cup;
- a lower multistage aging cup for further mixing of the one or more substances;
- wherein the upper multistage mixing cup comprises at least a first retention cup and a second retention cup, and wherein the second retention cup encircles the first retention cup;
- wherein the first retention cup is configured to receive the one or more substances from the one or more inlets;
- wherein the one or more substances are mixed by the high shear mixer in the first retention cup;
- wherein the second retention cup is configured to receive the one or more substances flowing from the first retention cup for further mixing;
- wherein the one or more substances are forwarded from the second retention cup into the intermediate blending section, where the one or more substances come into contact with the cup base flange;
- wherein the cup base flange is secured to the submersible actuator and comprises one or more holes configured to lead the one or more substances into the lower multistage aging cup;
- wherein a first end of the at least one submersible actuator is connected to the cup base flange and a second end of the submersible actuator is fixed to the middle cover plate, which serves a support base for the submersible actuator;
- wherein the lower multistage aging cup comprises a plurality of rings surrounding the submersible actuator, each ring having one or more holes configured to allow the one or more substances to flow into each subsequent ring until reaching the middle cover plate;
- and
- wherein the one or more substances are directed from the middle cover plate, via one or more holes on the middle cover plate, to the bottom cover plate which, in turn, has at least one outlet for releasing the mixed one or more substances.
