A decanting vessel has an internal pump for recirculating a beverage such as wine and aerating it within the decanter.

BATHWATER CIRCULATING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME
20170120202 · 2017-05-04 ·

A bathwater circulating system has a pump operable to draw fluid in at an intake port and expel it under pressure at an output port. Water- and air-supply conduits feed water and air to the intake port at a rate determined by a flow-restricting air-intake valve so that the pump mixes the water and the air, pressurizes the mixture and thereby dissolves the air in the water, and expels the air/water mixture at the output port. A pressure-reducing valve is connected by an output conduit that extends from the output port to the pressure relief valve and conducts the water/air-bubble mixture from the pump to the pressure-reducing valve without separation of the air from the water and such that the mixture is at least partially depressurized at the pressure-reducing valve such that the air forms microbubbles in the water.

A MEMBRANE AERATED BIOFILM REACTOR (MABR)
20170088450 · 2017-03-30 ·

A device for treating wastewater liquids, the device comprising a housing (4) incorporating a membrane supported biofilm reactor (MSBR) (2) of the type comprising a lumen containing a gas phase, a liquid phase, and a gas permeable membrane (20) providing an interface between the gas and liquid phases; and a means (6) for mixing the wastewater liquids in the device, wherein the means (6) for mixing the wastewater liquids is configured to create a mixing intensity sufficient to ensure that there is contact between the membrane (20) and the wastewater liquid to be treated.

Exhaust-gas treatment arrangement

An exhaust-gas treatment arrangement for an exhaust system of an internal-combustion engine includes a diesel internal-combustion engine. The arrangement includes a first exhaust-gas treatment unit and, downstream of the first exhaust-gas treatment unit, an exhaust-gas treatment assembly. The first exhaust-gas treatment unit and the exhaust-gas treatment assembly are arranged axially succeeding one another in the direction of a longitudinal axis of a flow path encompassing the first exhaust-gas treatment unit and the exhaust-gas treatment assembly. A hydrocarbon-feeding assembly is provided for feeding hydrocarbon into exhaust gas flowing in the flow path. The hydrocarbon-feeding assembly includes a hydrocarbon-dispensing unit dispensing hydrocarbon into the flow path downstream of the first exhaust-gas treatment unit and upstream of the exhaust-gas treatment assembly. A swirl-flow-generating unit is provided in the flow path upstream of the hydrocarbon-dispensing unit.
