Abstract
The present invention is reactor for treating water that includes a mixing tube having a length of L1 arranged to receive wastewater and series of treatment chemical injectors located at distances D1, D2 and D3 along length L1 that inject a volume V of treatment chemicals into wastewater flowing through the mixing tube. Shaft with agitation members rotates at the rate of R to mix wastewater and injected treatment chemicals with periods of no mixing T for optimal conditions for treatment chemicals. T, R, D1, D2, D3 and V are systematically varied by software in response to feedback from sensors within the reactor that monitor effluent concentrations and constituents within the wastewater.
Claims9
An reactor for treating waste water comprised of:
- at least one mixing tube with a length of L1 with an inlet and an outlet arranged for directing waste water from said inlet through said outlet;
- at east three injection members positioned at distances D1, D2 and D3 along said length L1, each of said injection members adapted to inject a volume V of at least one treatment chemical into said waste water;
- a plurality of agitation members supported within said mixing tube by a shaft having a length of L2 and adapted to mix said at least one treatment chemical with said waste water within said mixing tube;
- at least one mixing motor adapted to power said shaft to rotate said plurality of agitation members at a rate of R;
- and
- a software component adapted to control said distances D1, D2 and D3, said volume V, and said rate R and monitor concentrations and constituents of
- at least one effluent in said wastewater.
