Abstract
An apparatus for introducing vibrations into a vessel having: (a) a vessel capable of receiving a fluid medium; (b) a flexible membrane located at a bottom end of the vessel; (c) an upper pressure chamber located adjacent to an outer surface of the flexible membrane; (d) a lower pressure chamber located below the upper pressure chamber; (e) a linkage member; (f) vibrating means connected to the linkage member; and (g) a rod member rigidly connected to both the linkage member and the flexible membrane for transmitting vibrations into the vessel, the rod member being axially located within both the upper and lower pressure chambers.

An apparatus for introducing vibrations into a vessel comprising:
- (a) a vessel capable of receiving a fluid medium;
- (b) a flexible membrane located at a bottom end of the vessel;
- (c) an upper pressure chamber located adjacent to an outer surface of the flexible membrane;
- (d) a lower pressure chamber located below the upper pressure chamber;
- (e) a linkage member;
- (f) vibrating means connected to the linkage member;
- and
- (g) a rod member rigidly connected to both the linkage member and the flexible membrane for transmitting vibrations into the vessel, the rod member being axially located within both the upper and lower pressure chambers.
A process for transmitting vibrations into a vessel comprising:
- (a) providing a vessel capable of receiving a fluid medium;
- (b) providing a flexible membrane located at a bottom end of the vessel;
- (c) an upper pressure chamber located adjacent to an outer surface of the flexible membrane;
- (d) providing a lower pressure chamber located below the upper pressure chamber;
- (e) providing a linkage member;
- (f) providing vibrating means connected to the linkage member;
- (g) providing a rod member rigidly connected to both the linkage member and the flexible membrane for transmitting vibrations into the vessel, the rod member being axially located within both the upper and lower pressure chambers;
- and
- (h) engaging the vibrating means.
