Abstract
A method and process for the treatment of liquids, including moving injection wands into a tank containing the liquid to be treated and injecting a treating solution through the injection wands to increase the reaction mixing between the injected treating solution and the liquid being treated.
Claims19
A process for the treatment of liquids, comprising:
- (a) placing a plurality of injection wands about a circumference and through openings in a wall of a tank containing a liquid to be treated, said wall defining said circumference, wherein each injection wand has a tangential arm and a radial arm that are connected by a joint that allows for an angle between said arms to be altered, and
- (b) injecting a treating solution through at least one location on each of said tangential arms and radial arms of said injection wands to promote reaction mixing between the injected treating solution and the liquid being treated.
A process for the treatment of a liquid containing contaminants, comprising:
- (a) placing a plurality of injection wands about a circumference and through openings in a wall of a tank containing the contaminated liquid to be treated, said wall defining said circumference, wherein each injection wand has a tangential and radial arm that are connected by a joint that allows for an angle between said arms to be altered, and injecting a treating solution through at least one location on each of said tangential arms and said radial arms to promote reaction mixing between the injected treating solution and the liquid being treated and performing such treatment until the level of contaminants in the liquid being treated is reduced to a desired level.
An apparatus for the treatment of liquids, comprising:
- a plurality of injection wands spaced about the circumference and inserted through openings in a wall of a tank containing a liquid to be treated, said wall defining said circumference, wherein each injection wand has a tangential arm and a radial arm that are connected by a joint that allows for an angle between said arms to be altered, and at least one location on each said tangential arm and said radial arm whereby a treating solution can be injected into the tank to promote reaction mixing between the injected treating solution and the liquid being treated.
An apparatus for the treatment of a liquid containing contaminants, comprising:
- a plurality of injection wands, each injection wand having a tangential arm and a radial arm connected by a joint that allows for an angle between said arms to be altered, each injection wand spaced about a circumference and inserted through openings in a wall of a tank containing a contaminated liquid, said wall defining said circumference, and means for treating a contaminated liquid by the injection of a treating solution through at least one location on each of said tangential arms and radial arms to promote reaction mixing between the treating solution and the liquid containing contaminants until the contaminants are reduced to a desired level.
