Abstract
A system for remediation of a fluid is provided. The system has an inlet configured to supply the fluid to a remediation channel, an injection port in fluid communication with the remediation channel, the injection port configured to inject at least one substance into the liquid, at least on air actuator in fluid communication with the remediation channel downstream from the injection port, the air actuator configured to generate a cavitation pocket, a vortex plate disposed within the remediation channel, and configured to create a swirl in the fluid and further increase the number of cavitation pockets within the liquid. A method of remediating a fluid is also provided herein.

A system for remediation of a fluid, the system comprising:
- an inlet configured to supply the fluid to a remediation channel;
- an injection port in fluid communication with the remediation channel, the injection port configured to inject at least one substance into the liquid;
- at least on air actuator in fluid communication with the remediation channel downstream from the injection port, the air actuator configured to generate a cavitation pocket;
- and
- a vortex plate disposed within the remediation channel, and configured to create a swirl in the fluid and further increase a number of cavitation pockets within the liquid.
A method for remediation of a fluid, the method comprising:
- flowing a fluid through a remediation channel;
- injecting at least one substance into the fluid using an injection port in fluid communication with the remediation channel;
- introducing bursts of air into the fluid using air actuator in fluid communication with the remediation channel downstream from the injection port;
- generating a vortex and cavitation pocket in the fluid within the remediation channel;
- and
- inducing a second vortex in the fluid using a vortex plate disposed within the remediation channel, and configured to create a swirl in the fluid and further increase the number of cavitation pockets within the liquid.
