Method and device for preparing a fluid loaded with ingredients

A method for treating a liquid loaded with ingredients comprising:

• injecting the liquid into a reactor vessel such that a circular movement is imparted to the liquid and such that a concentration of the ingredients in a region of a peripheral wall of the reactor vessel increases in a direction from a reactor inlet to a reactor outlet;
• impinging ultrasound waves having a first intensity and/or ultraviolet radiation having a first intensity on the liquid in a first portion of the reactor vessel;
• and
• impinging ultrasound waves having a second intensity and/or ultraviolet radiation having a second intensity on the liquid in a second portion of the reactor vessel;
• wherein the concentration of the ingredients in the first portion of the reactor vessel is less than the concentration of the ingredients in the second portion of the reactor vessel;
• and
• wherein the first intensity is less than the second intensity.

A device for treating a liquid loaded with ingredients comprising:

• a reactor vessel having an inlet and an outlet and a cylindrical inner surface configured to guide a liquid injected tangentially into the reactor vessel in a circular movement from the inlet to the outlet;
• and
• a plurality of ultrasound radiation sources and/or ultraviolet radiation sources disposed circumferentially around and axially along the cylindrical inner surface, a first set of the radiation sources being located in a first section of the reactor vessel and a second set of the radiation sources being located in a second section of the reactor vessel different than the first section;
• wherein the first set of radiation sources is configured to produce a first level of a radiation intensity in the first section of the reactor vessel,
• wherein the second set of radiation sources is configured to produce a second level of radiation intensity in the second section of the reactor vessel, the second level being greater than the first level,
• wherein the first set of the radiation sources is located axially between the second set of radiation sources and the inlet, and
• wherein a number of the first set of radiation sources per a unit area on the cylindrical inner surface is less than a number of the second radiation sources per the unit area on the cylindrical surface.
