Method for mixing coagulating agents into a contaminated water flow, and for removing contaminants therefrom

摘要: An improved system and novel components methods for treating waste waters contaminated with a variety of commercial, municipal, and/or industrial contaminants. A mixing vessel according to the invention comprises upper lower chambers connected by an intermediate tubular section fluid exit tube running coaxially down center portion. The stream be treated flows in spiral pattern vertically through vessel, providing turbulent flow. flow may subjected electric or magnetic fields. In one embodiment, streams ionized coagulant are combined prior entry into vessel; another incoming is coagulants vessel. split between annular passageways improve mixing. Magnetite particles generated situ added further encourage coagulation presence field. After exiting chamber, coagulated contaminants removed using filtration steps.
