Abstract
An apparatus and method of reducing agglomeration of fluids consisting of the vigorous agitation of the liquid by a double opposed vortex nozzle and the passing of the liquid through a magnetic field. One of the opposed nozzles may have ozone gas forced through it for treating sewage.
Claims7
A method for reducing agglomeration in fluids, comprising the steps of:
- pumping a fluid through a first vortex nozzle;
- simultaneously pumping a second fluid through a second vortex nozzle;
- agitating the fluids by spraying the fluid exiting the first vortex nozzle against the fluid exiting the second vortex nozzle;
- simultaneously magnetically affecting the fluids by a magnetic affecting means mounted in close proximity to the nozzles.
1 more element
An apparatus for reducing agglomeration in fluids, comprising:
- means for pumping fluids;
- said pumping means connected to a means for agitating said fluids;
- a magnetic affecting means mounted in close proximity to said agitating means for magnetically affecting said fluid as it is pumped through said agitating means;
- said agitating means further comprised of an inlet, a vortex apparatus connected with said inlet, and an outlet connected to said vortex apparatus;
- said inlet and said outlet connected to said pumping means;
- said vortex apparatus comprised of vortex nozzles mounted within means defining a chamber in opposed relationship to each other;
- and
- said nozzles oriented so as to direct the stream of fluid from one nozzle against a stream of fluid from another nozzle.
