A gas-liquid contact apparatus has a gas-liquid contact unit, a liquid supply system, and a gas supply system. The gas-liquid contact unit includes a plurality of stages which are allocated so as to be arranged in the lateral direction. Each of the plurality of stages includes a plurality of vertical flat plates arranged parallel to each other at intervals. The liquid supply system supplies a liquid to the gas-liquid contact unit, and causes the liquid to be circulated along the arrangement of the plurality of stages successively. The gas supply system supplies a gas to the gas-liquid contact unit, and causes the gas to be circulated along the arrangement of the plurality of stages successively. The supplied liquid flows down on the plurality of vertical flat plates in each of the plurality of stages, and comes into contact with the supplied gas.

A flotation cell for treating particles suspended in slurry and for separating the slurry into an underflow and an overflow is disclosed. The flotation cell includes a flotation tank including a center, a perimeter, a bottom, and a side wall; and a launder and a launder lip surrounding the perimeter of the flotation tank. The flotation tank further includes blast tubes for introducing slurry infeed into the flotation tank. A flotation line, as well as a use of the flotation line is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a fuel made by mixing water with oil in a vacuum state. The apparatus includes: a vacuum tank adapted to seal an internal space thereof to allow the internal space to be maintained to a vacuum state; a vacuum pump located on one side of the vacuum tank to suck the air from the interior of the vacuum tank, so that the vacuum tank is kept in the vacuum state; a stirring vessel located inside the vacuum tank in such a manner as to communicate with the vacuum tank through a bypass pipe, the water and oil being supplied thereto; and stirrers rotating by the drive of motors to stirringly mix the water with the oil.

An analysis instrument may perform analytical operations on an analyte that is combined with multiple reagents prior to being introduced into a flow cell. The instrument may include a nozzle sipper that aspirates reagents from a recipient, along with an analyte. The reagents may be directed to a volume and may be repeatedly moved into and out of the volume by cycling of a pump. The reagents may be ejected into a destination recipient with the nozzle sipper promoting vorticity in the recipient to enhance mixing. The repeated aspiration and ejection through the nozzle sipper effectively mixes the reagents and the template in an automated or semi-automated fashion.

The embodiments herein disclose a method and apparatus for mixing sludge retained in a digester. A jet nozzle assembly for mixing contents of a vessel is used. The jet nozzle assembly having a central outlet pipe terminating at a jet nozzle, a low pressure nozzle assembly disposed concentrically about the central outlet pipe, the low pressure low pressure nozzle having a plurality of openings disposed circumferentially about the low pressure nozzle assembly. The plurality of openings are an axial distance from the outlet jet nozzle.

A chemical mixer tool for use in a storage drum is described. The chemical mixer tool typically comprises a mixer housing assembly in which one end of a mixer shaft is secured, the distal end of the mixer shaft having at least one collapsible impeller assembly removably attached thereon. The chemical mixer tool is configured to be removably secured to the top portion of the storage drum, with the distal end of the mixing shaft extending into the interior of the storage drum.
