Abstract
A hydro turbulator system includes a volute that has a top duct and a bottom duct that allow fluid to enter and exit the volute. An impeller system including a first impeller and a second impeller is positioned within the volute. The first impeller and the second impeller are axially aligned. A motor is operationally connected to the impeller system so that the first impeller and the second impeller rotate upon operation of the motor. Rotation of the first impeller and the second impeller creates successive zones of high pressure and low pressure to agitate and condition fluid within the volute.
Claims21
A hydro turbulator system comprising:
- a volute including a length, wherein said volute includes a first duct and a second duct, and wherein one of said first duct and said second duct are configured to allow fluid to enter the volute and the other is configured to allow fluid to exit the volute;
- an impeller system positioned within the volute wherein said impeller system includes a drive impeller having a diameter and a first agitation impeller having a diameter;
- wherein said drive impeller and said first agitation impeller are positioned in series along a fluid flow path extending through the volute between the first duct and the second duct, and wherein rotation of said drive impeller and said first agitation impeller create successive zones of high pressure and low pressure along a length of the fluid flow path;
- one or more motors operationally connected to said impeller system, wherein operation of the one or more motors is configured to rotate the drive impeller and the first agitation impeller;
- and
- i. wherein a ratio of the diameter of the drive impeller to a hydraulic diameter of the fluid flow path at the drive impeller is greater than a ratio of the diameter of the first agitation impeller to a hydraulic diameter of the fluid flow path at the first agitation impeller, or
- ii. wherein the drive impeller differs from the first agitation impeller by diameter, blade pitch, and/or number of blades.
4 more elements
A fluid treatment system comprising:
- a source fluid tank including a source fluid to be treated;
- a hydro turbulator system in fluid communication with said source fluid tank, wherein said hydro turbulator system includes:
- a volute, wherein said volute includes a top duct and a bottom duct, and wherein said top duct and said bottom duct are configured to allow fluid to enter and exit the volute;
- an impeller system positioned within the volute wherein said impeller system includes a first impeller and a second impeller;
- wherein rotation of said first impeller and said second impeller is configured to create successive zones of high pressure and low pressure within the volute;
- and
- a gas capture tank in fluid communication with said hydro turbulator system to receive fluid discharged from said hydro turbulator system, and wherein the gas capture tank includes treatment media configured to remove unwanted chemicals from the fluid discharged from said hydro turbulator system.
4 more elements
A fluid treatment system comprising:
- a fluid treatment tank including a fluid to be treated;
- a hydro turbulator system at least partially submerged in the fluid within said fluid treatment tank, wherein said hydro turbulator system includes:
- a volute, wherein said volute includes a top duct and a bottom duct, and wherein said top duct and said bottom duct are configured to allow fluid to enter and exit the volute;
- an impeller system positioned within the volute wherein said impeller system includes a first impeller and a second impeller;
- wherein rotation of said first impeller and said second impeller is configured to create successive zones of high pressure and low pressure within the volute;
- a discharge extension extending from one of said top duct and said bottom duct of said hydro turbulator system, wherein fluid within said hydro turbulator system is discharged into said fluid treatment tank from said discharge extension;
- a suction extension pipe extending from one of said top duct and said bottom duct of said hydro turbulator system, wherein at least a portion of said suction extension pipe is substantially parallel to said discharge extension;
- and wherein said suction extension pipe is configured to provide suction to pull fluid into said hydro turbulator system;
- fixed treatment media positioned between at least a portion of said discharge extension and a portion of said suction extension pipe;
- and
- wherein fluid discharged from said discharge extension is pulled by said suction extension pipe so that the discharged fluid flows through said fixed treatment media.
