Abstract
A trihalomethane (THM) and volatile organic compound (VOC) removal system includes: a storage vessel; a fluid inlet on the storage vessel where fluid enters said storage vessel; a fluid outlet on the storage vessel where fluid exits said storage vessel; and a fluid fitting on said storage vessel. Fluid leaves the storage vessel via an inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting and flows through a pump and passes through a venturi aspirator, and returns to the storage vessel through an outlet conduit attached to the storage vessel.

A trihalomethane (THM) and volatile organic compound (VOC) removal system comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a fluid inlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid enters said storage vessel;
- a fluid outlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid exits said storage vessel;
- and
- a fluid fitting on said storage vessel,
- wherein a fluid leaves said storage vessel via an inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting and flows through a pump and passes through a venturi aspirator and flows through a static mixer, and returns to said storage vessel through an outlet conduit attached to said storage vessel, and
- wherein the fluid leaves the storage vessel through the inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting without penetrating the storage vessel walls.
A trihalomethane and volatile organic compound removal system comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a fluid inlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid enters said storage vessel;
- a fluid outlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid exits said storage vessel;
- a pump;
- a first valve connected between said pump and said storage vessel via a first inlet conduit;
- a second valve connected between said pump and said storage vessel via a second inlet conduit;
- a first arrangement comprising a valve, venturi aspirator, and a static mixer, wherein one end of said first arrangement is connected to the storage vessel via a first outlet conduit and a second end of said first arrangement is connected to said pump;
- and
- a second arrangement comprising a valve, venturi aspirator, and a static mixer, wherein one end of said second arrangement is connected to the storage vessel via a second outlet conduit and a second end of said second arrangement is connected to said pump.
A trihalomethane and volatile organic compound removal system comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a fluid inlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid enters said storage vessel;
- a fluid outlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid exits said storage vessel;
- a pump;
- a first valve connected between said pump and said storage vessel via a first inlet conduit;
- a second valve connected between said pump and said storage vessel via a second inlet conduit;
- and
- an arrangement comprising a venturi aspirator and a static mixer, wherein one end of said arrangement is connected to said pump;
- wherein a second end of said arrangement is connected to a first side of a third valve and a first side of a fourth valve;
- wherein a second side of the third valve is connected to the storage vessel via a first outlet conduit, and
- wherein a second side of the fourth valve is connected to the storage vessel via a second outlet conduit.
A trihalomethane (THM) and volatile organic compound (VOC) removal system comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a fluid inlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid enters said storage vessel;
- a fluid outlet on said storage vessel wherein fluid exits said storage vessel;
- and
- a fluid fitting on said storage vessel,
- wherein a fluid leaves said storage vessel via an inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting and flows through a pump and passes through a venturi aspirator and flows through a static mixer, and returns to said storage vessel through an outlet conduit attached to said storage vessel,
- wherein the fluid leaves the storage vessel through the inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting without penetrating the storage vessel walls,
- wherein the pump, the venturi aspirator, and the static mixer are mounted on a platform that floats on a surface of the fluid in the storage vessel.
