Abstract
A mechanism for converting impurities or contaminants in a fluid to a non-hazardous or less hazardous condition by raising the fluid to a supercritical state. This is accomplished by a rotatable mechanism having a reaction chamber adapted to receive the fluid and by rotating the rotatable mechanism at a high speed and by heating the fluid to cause the temperature and pressure of the fluid in the reaction chamber to reach the supercritical state.
Claims6
The method of converting impurities or contaminants in a fluid to a non-hazardous or less hazardous condition in which the fluid is raised to a supercritical state, the improvement of which comprises directing a fluid into a rotatable mechanism having a fluid receiving reaction chamber therewithin to receive the fluid rotating the rotatable mechanism with the fluid in said rotation chamber at a high speed and heating the fluid in the reaction chamber continuing the rotation of the rotatable mechanism at a high speed with the fluid within the reaction chamber and continuing the application of heat to the fluid in the reaction chamber until the temperature and pressure of the fluid in the reaction chamber reaches supercritical conditions.
