Abstract

The present disclosure includes a mixing device for use in a contact tower. The mixing device can include a first tray defining multiple first openings and multiple mixers coupled to the first tray. Each mixer can include a first portion having a first sidewall and a second portion extending from the first portion, the second portion having a second sidewall. The first sidewall can define an inlet in communication with one of the first openings, an outlet, a convergent channel extending between the inlet and the outlet of the first sidewall, and an injection port extending through the first sidewall and positioned between the inlet and outlet of the first sidewall. The second sidewall can define an inlet in communication with the outlet of the first sidewall, an outlet, and a divergent channel extending between the inlet and the outlet of the second sidewall.
