Systems and methods for processing one or more waste fluids by measuring one or more properties of a waste fluid and adjusting the flow and/or flowability of the waste fluid based on the measurement are disclosed. The one or more properties of the waste fluid can include a viscosity of the waste fluid, a pressure of the waste fluid, and/or or a difference in pressure of the waste fluid. Adjusting the flow and/or flowability of the waste fluid can include adjusting the one or more properties of the waste fluid and/or affecting the direction of flow of the waste fluid in a manner which changes the destination of the waste fluid.

The present application provides a device (1) for dissolving in an aqueous liquid an essentially water-soluble substance, optionally comprising insoluble solid matter, and, optionally for filtering the aqueous solution of the essentially water-soluble substance to remove the insoluble solid matter. The device (1) comprises a container (2) for holding an aqueous liquid, wherein the interior of the container is divided into two separate compartments, respectively a mixing compartment (12) and a filtering compartment (14), separated by a vertically positioned filter screen (13) comprising a filter; a mixing means positioned in the mixing compartment; an outlet (17) in the lower half of one of the walls or in the base of the mixing compartment (12) for removal of the insoluble solid matter from the mixing compartment (12); a grid (4) positioned above the mixing compartment (12) comprising means for opening a bag (5) positioned on or above the grid (4), and an electronic device (20), optionally comprising a digital display, connected to a sensor (19).

Various illustrative systems, devices, and methods of beverage carbonation system flow control are provided. A carbonation system is one example of a treatment system to which the systems, devices, and methods described herein apply. In general, a carbonation system is configured to form a carbonated fluid and dispense the carbonated fluid in a controlled manner. In an illustrative embodiment, the carbonation system is configured to begin dispensing the carbonated fluid with a pressure in a chamber of the carbonation system, in which the carbonated fluid is formed, being above atmospheric pressure. A gas is introduced into the chamber after dispensing has already started via the pressure in the chamber to drive the flow of the carbonated fluid. The gas can be introduced into the chamber according to a predetermined pressure profile.

An exemplary process air recirculation system, and an electric heater mixing apparatus is disclosed herein. Exemplary process air recirculation systems comprise the electric heating mixing apparatus. An exemplary electric heating mixing apparatus comprises: walls defining a first chamber having a first upstream opening and a first downstream opening, and a second chamber having a first upstream opening and a first downstream opening, wherein the second chamber is adjacently disposed to the first chamber, a first inlet damper disposed at the first upstream opening, a second inlet damper disposed at the second upstream opening, and a resistance-type electric air heater disposed in the first chamber.

A mixing apparatus includes a mixer configured to mix a material including a rubber or a resin in the presence of a working fluid that is in a supercritical state or a subcritical state. The mixer includes a chamber that forms a flow passage for the working fluid and the material, and a mixing blade disposed in the chamber and fixed to the chamber.

Systems, methods, and software program products for dispensing chemical solutions. A controller receives a signal from a pressure sensor indicative of a pressure of a diluent. The controller determines an expected flow rate of the diluent through an eductor based at least in part on the pressure of the diluent. The controller may further determine an expected concentration of a chemical product in the solution dispensed from a discharge port of the eductor. Based on the expected flow rated and concentration of the chemical product, the controller determines a duration of a dispense stage of a dispensing operation required to dispense a predetermined dose of the chemical product. The controller then causes the diluent to flow through the eductor for the determined duration of the dispense stage. A check valve on the output of the eductor prevents dissimilar chemicals from mixing and reduces a response time of the eductor.

The invention relates to apparatus and a process for mixing a gas/vapour with a process liquid comprising a material and a carrier liquid. The apparatus comprises a passage (10) having an inlet (14), an outlet (16) for a process liquid comprising the material, and an inlet (24) for introducing supersonic steam at a mixing zone (42). The profile of the mixing zone (42) can be varied to optimise mixing.

A method is provided for producing fine-bubble water by resonance foaming and vacuum cavitation, and a device for manufacturing each of ultra-fine-bubble water of hydrogen gas having a reducing radical function, ultra-fine-bubble water of air and oxygen gas having an oxidizing radical function, ozone ultra-fine-bubble water having a sterilization function enabled by ozone, and fine-bubble water of nitrogen/carbon dioxide gas for increasing the ability to preserve the freshness of raw agricultural products, livestock products, and marine products.

Systems and methods for improved mixing, including baffle systems, reactor systems, and methods of using the same are provided herein. These baffle systems include a ring having an exterior surface defining an outer diameter and an outer circumference, an interior surface defining an inner diameter and an inner circumference, a top surface, a bottom surface, and an axis; and one or more substantially vertical baffles extending from the interior surface of the ring toward the axis.

System and method for dispensing a flowable product are provided. The system includes a mixing chamber having a first inlet, a second inlet and an outlet. The mixing chamber of the system contains a mixing element capable of motion. The system also includes a paste located in an enclosure configured to flow into the mixing chamber via a first channel connected to the first inlet, and a flowable medium configured to flow into the mixing chamber via a second channel connected to the second inlet. The mixing chamber is configured to mix the paste and the flowable medium using the mixing element, thus, producing the flowable product that may be output via the outlet.
