Provided is a supply-liquid producing apparatus capable of producing a supply liquid by an amount needed at a use point. A supply-liquid producing apparatus includes a mixer that mixes water and ozone gas to produce ozone water; a booster pump that increases the pressure of the water supplied to the mixer; a gas-liquid separation tank that separates the ozone water produced by the mixer into ozone water to be supplied to a use point and exhaust gas to be discharged from an exhaust port; a flowmeter that measures the flow rate of the ozone water supplied from the gas-liquid separation tank to the use point; a flow control unit that adjusts the (flow rate of the water supplied to the mixer by controlling the booster pump in response to the flow rate of the ozone water measured by the flowmeter; and an exhaust pressure control unit that controls the exhaust pressure to keep constant the water level in the gas-liquid separation tank.

A method, apparatus, and system for obtaining a solution from a solid product are disclosed. A solid product is housed in a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into the housing of the dispenser to interact with the solid product to form a solution. To control the concentration of the formed solution, the turbulence of the liquid introduced to the dispenser is controlled and adjusted either manually or on a real time basis to account for varying characteristics of either or both of the solid product and the liquid. The dispenser will adjust the turbulence based on the characteristics to maintain a formed solution within an acceptable range of concentration. The concentrated solution can then be discharged from the dispenser to an end use application.

A discharge system includes a mixing vessel and a feedstock input in fluid communication with the mixing vessel. A solvent input is in fluid communication with the mixing vessel. A discharge output is in fluid communication with an outlet of the mixing vessel to discharge effluent. A method for generating turbulence on a liquid surface within a discharge system includes supplying a mixing vessel with feedstock fluid and solvent fluid to generate a liquid mixture and a gas pocket in the mixing vessel. The method includes supplying an impinging solvent fluid through a nozzle extending from a first end of the mixing vessel to generate a roiling surface at an interface between the gas pocket and the liquid mixture and permit uptake of gas from the gas pocket into the liquid mixture.

A brine generation system includes a tank unit having a tank body and a divider which separates the tank into an upper portion for holding salt crystals and a lower portion for holding brine. The divider is adapted to resist the movement of salt crystals greater than a predetermined size and to permit the brine solution to pass from the upper portion through the divider to the lower portion by the effect of gravity. The divider includes a sump channel having an opening in communication with the upper portion of the tank unit. The sump channel is adapted to collect non-soluble particles greater than a predetermined size and permit the brine solution in the sump channel to pass therethrough to the lower portion of the tank unit. The sump channel is in communication with a sediment discharge port defined in the tank body.

A medicament preparation system, according to an embodiment, includes a water purification module and a medicament proportioning module. The system is configured to allow convenient and safe use in a home environment or a critical care environment as well as others affording safety, reliability, and a compact form factor.

The present invention relates to a device for preparing a dialysis concentrate or another fluid, wherein the device includes an inflow for the raw material for the dissolving of or mixing with a raw material located in a container that can be dissolved in the solvent or can be mixed with it and a container having a raw material to be dissolved by means of the solvent or miscible with the solvent, wherein the device has connection means for connecting to the container, characterized in that the device has a mixing unit that is self-regulating and a mixing line and a suction unit arranged in the mixing line and a mixing chamber, with the suction unit being able to be brought into fluid communication with the inflow for the solvent and, by means of a suction line, with the container connectable to the device, and with a return line downstream of the mixing chamber leading back to the container connectable to the device.

An apparatus for accelerated dissolution of carbonates with buffered pH. The apparatus includes a mixer, a dissolution reactor and a pH correction reactor. The mixer includes: a chamber; a water supply; a carbonic gas supply; and a carbonate supply. Water, carbonic gas and carbonate are provided to the chamber in predetermined continuous flow rates to obtain a design flow rate of lean mixture at the outlet. The dissolution reactor includes a duct connected to the chamber receiving the lean mixture and allowing at least partial dissolution of the carbonate which transforms the lean mixture into an ionic mixture according to the reaction CaCO3+CO2+H2O? Ca(HCO3)2. The pH correction reactor comprises a duct and a hydroxide supply. The mixture is then released into the sea. Embodiments also relate to a method for the accelerated dissolution of carbonates with buffered pH for the permanent sequestration of CO2 in the sea in the form of bicarbonates.

A portable dispensing system for dispensing a solution of a fluid and a solid product includes a fluid line, a dispenser, and a cartridge. The fluid line includes a first and second fluid line ends and a fluid source connection at the first fluid line end. The dispenser is at the second fluid line end. The dispenser includes a body and a fluid outlet. The cartridge houses the solid product and includes a fluid inlet and a solution outlet. The cartridge is removably connected at the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the dispenser. The cartridge is configured to receive fluid from the fluid outlet of the dispenser such that fluid contacts the solid product housed in the cartridge and dissolves at least a portion of the solid product forming the solution. The cartridge is also configured to output the solution at the solution outlet.

The present invention relates to a mixing apparatus. A production unit produces a working fluid that is in a supercritical state or a subcritical state. A storage unit stores a material. A dissolving unit dissolves the material in the working fluid. A mixer mixes the material together in the presence of the working fluid. A material feed valve opens or closes a flow passage through which the material is to pass to be fed from the storage unit into the dissolving unit. A working fluid inflow valve opens or closes a flow passage through which the working fluid is to pass to flow into the dissolving unit from the production unit. A mixer inflow valve opens or closes a flow passage through which the working fluid and the material are to pass to flow into the mixer from the dissolving unit.
