An object is to provide a slurry storage and stirring device which can sufficiently flow even a high-concentration slurry by a simple means and is excellent in stirring properties. Disclosed is a slurry storage and stirring device including a container which stores a slurry containing particles and a solvent, and in this device, the container has an inner wall provided inside the container and formed of a porous body which passes a gas supplied to the container through the porous body to generate fine bubbles in the slurry.

A sleeve for the construction of a hose pipe extends about a longitudinal axis. The sleeve has greater elongation capacities in one direction than in the other with respect to the longitudinal axis.

A method and apparatus for obtaining a product chemistry from a solid block is provided. The product is housed within a dispenser, which utilizes a liquid and a gas to erode the block and produce a concentrate solution. The liquid and gas characteristics can be adjusted in the field to achieve a predetermined concentrate level in the solution. The introduction of air into the dispenser saves water, while producing higher concentrate levels.

The invention relates to a method and equipment for the pressurised injection of air or other gases in a controlled manner into wine making tanks or similar for the purpose of efficiently breaking up the cap and extracting polyphenolic and aromatic compounds from the skins to the liquid portion (must) after the crushing of the grapes using the method for pumping over the grape harvest during the maceration thereof.

An air-stirred tank reactor (ASTR) and methods of use thereof are described herein. The ASTR is equipped with an impeller or set of impellers that mechanically mixes a liquid culture, as well as sparges gas into the liquid medium. The impeller can further have lighting sources that can illuminate the liquid culture. Unlike conventional bioreactors, the ASTR provides superior liquid mixing, efficient gas mass transfer, and a low-shear culture environment through appropriate impeller rotational speed and sparging rate.

The embodiments disclose a method including processing ingredients including carbon, essential vitamins, essential minerals, trace minerals, fulvic acid, and humic acid for preparation of black shot products, blending the ingredients processed into powders into powder based products, concentrating the ingredients processed into a liquid blend to create concentrated syrup products, blending the ingredients into a fresh fruit flavored smoothie, and blending the ingredients into a black shot beverage.

A jet-mixer for a fluid mixing system includes a housing including a mixer port formed in an inner surface of the housing, and a rotor rotatably disposed in the housing, the rotor including a rotor blade, wherein the rotor includes a first angular position in the housing restricting fluid flow through the mixer port, and a second angular position allowing fluid flow through the mixer port, wherein, in response to rotation of the rotor in the housing, the jet-mixer is configured to inject a first fluid jet through the mixer port into the passage of the fluid conduit that has a pulsed velocity profile.

A mixing apparatus includes a phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply, an additive supply, a tank, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply path and an additive supply path. The phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply is configured to supply a phosphoric acid aqueous solution. The additive supply is configured to supply an additive configured to suppress precipitation of a silicon oxide. The phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply path is configured to connect the phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply with the tank. The additive supply path is configured to connect the additive supply with the tank. The additive is supplied while fluidity is imparted to the phosphoric acid aqueous solution supplied from the phosphoric acid aqueous solution supply into the tank.

A device for stirring at least one liquid includes a fluidics module rotatable about an axis of rotation, a liquid chamber for the liquid within the fluidics module, an introducer for introducing mutually separate phase volumes of a phase different from the liquid, said phase volumes having a different density than the liquid, into the liquid within the liquid chamber, and a driving device for subjecting the fluidics module to such a rotation that the phase volumes are moved radially inward or outward in relation to the axis of rotation through the liquid due to the different density of the phase volumes and of the liquid and due to the centrifugal forces caused by the rotation.
