The present disclosure relates to a milk-of-lime preparation apparatus and preparation method having waste heat recovery line, that may recover waste heat generated during preparation of liquid milk-of-lime and deliver the recovered waste heat to water, so as to supply the water at an optimal temperature necessary for a hydration reaction, thereby increasing the reaction efficiency and reducing the preparation time of the milk-of-lime. Especially, the milk-of-lime preparation apparatus consists of a water tank that receives room temperature water from a water supply pipe and stores the received water inside the water tank; a raw material input pipe that transfers calcine lime powder from one end to the other end through pressure supply from a BCT vehicle that carries the calcine lime powder; a water input pipe of which one end is connected with the water tank, and that receives the water stored inside the water tank and transfers the received water to the other end; a milk-of-lime tank that receives the water from the other end of the water input pipe, that receives the calcine lime powder from the other end of the raw material input pipe, and that stirs the received calcine lime powder and the water by means of a stirrer installed inside the milk-of-lime tank, to prepare and store milk-of-lime; a discharge pipe that is installed at one side of the milk-of-lime tank to discharge the milk-of-lime stored inside the milk-of-lime tank; and a waste heat recovery line that circulates the water such that the water stored inside the water tank exchanges heat with the milk-of-lime stored inside the milk-of-lime tank and then is stored back inside the water tank.

Carbonation apparatus is provided for carbonating a mixed input flow of pressurized and refrigerated carbon dioxide and water. A first cartridge is disposed within the carbonation chamber, defining a porous micromesh net in fluid communication with the input flow and a central cavity in fluid communication with the carbonation chamber output port. The micromesh net is configured to break up chains of water molecules passing through the net, to enhance bonding between the water and carbon dioxide molecules within the cartridge. The net also responds to the flow of water and carbon dioxide molecules impacting and passing through the net by generating a passive polarizing field that has a polarizing influence on the water molecules to further enhance. Beads may be provided within the cartridge for capturing and stabilizing carbon dioxide molecules to yet further enhance bonding between the water and the carbon dioxide molecules.

A system and method for pumping fluid using a set of interconnected pump cassettes is disclosed. Each of the pump cassettes can receive a first solution in a first pumping chamber and each of the pump cassettes can receive separate second solutions in respective second pumping chambers, so that the first solution can be mixed with the separate second solutions, each said mixture capable of being placed in separate containers. The system includes a control assembly for operating each pump cassette, each pump cassette having a flexible membrane to pump fluid into and out of the pumping chambers, and each pump cassette configured for mating with a base unit that provides positive or negative pneumatic pressure to the flexible membrane.

A vortex mixer may have a vortex mixing chamber having a first wall, a second wall, and a side wall connecting the first wall and the second wall. At least two inlet ports may be configured along the side wall, each inlet port having an inlet channel connected thereto. The at least two inlet ports may be approximately equally spaced around the vortex mixing chamber and configured tangentially to the vortex mixing chamber. An exit port may have an exit channel connected thereto. The exit port may be configured at a radial center of the second wall, and the exit channel may extend from the exit port and away from the vortex mixing chamber.

A microfluidic device (100) for mixing a liquid L is provided. The microfluidic device (100) comprises a microfluidic chamber (20), having an inlet (30), and arranged to receive the liquid L therein. In use, the microfluidic device (100) is arranged to control translation through the liquid L of a body B introduced therein, wherein the translation of the body B is due to a potential field acting on the body. In this way, the controlled translation of the body B mixes the liquid L in the microfluidic chamber (20).

An automated apparatus for preparing a liquid bioprocess solution includes at least one mixing chamber having a lower port and an upper port for fluid to enter the at least one mixing chamber, an array of tubing for fluid flow within the system, a plurality of valves provided within the tubing, and a mixing controller configured to cause the automated apparatus to perform a series of sequential mixing steps causing the preparation of the liquid bioprocess solution from a dry ingredient. The series of sequential mixing steps include opening a first valve associated with the lower port to provide fluid to the at least one mixing chamber through the lower port, and after a predetermined amount of elapsed time, closing the first valve and opening a second valve associated with the upper port to provide fluid to the at least one mixing chamber through the upper port.
