Abstract
A method of treating an agricultural-water canal to decompose organic debris in the agricultural-water canal is disclosed. The method provides a controlled delivery of biocide particles to the surface of water by entraining biocide particles in a gaseous stream and then scattering the biocide particles across the surface of the water by propelling the biocide-laden gaseous stream to the surface of the water, whereat the biocide particles are released from the gaseous stream. A device for implementing the method is also disclosed. The device includes a gas blower, a feed hopper and a port which is adapted to direct and propel the biocide-laden gaseous stream to the surface of water in the agricultural-water canal.
Claims52
A method of treating an agricultural-water canal to decompose organic debris in said agricultural-water canal by a controlled delivery of biocide particles to the surface of water in said agricultural-water canal comprising the steps of:
- entraining biocide particles in a gaseous stream to form a biocide-laden gaseous stream;
- and
- then scattering said biocide particles across said surface of said water by propelling said biocide-laden gaseous stream to said surface of said water, whereat said biocide particles are released from said gaseous stream.
