Apparatus for introducing a gas into a main medium, comprising: a main conduit for guiding the main medium, a multitude of injection lines for guiding the gas, wherein each of the injection lines has a respective end section with a respective outlet opening situated within the main conduit, and wherein the end sections are oriented essentially parallel to each other and to the main conduit. With the apparatus a gas can be introduced in particular into waste water for obtaining a biologically activated sludge. Thereby, interaction between the gas and the waste water can be particularly pronounced due to a particularly large liquid-gas-interface caused by particularly extensive turbulences. Further, shear stress acting on particles in the activated sludge can be advantageously low, thus avoiding damage of the biological particles.

A method and system for reduction of particulate and gaseous contaminants from exhaust gas including multiple gas handling systems, a mixing tank, and a mixing system that mixes unprocessed exhaust gas and system fluid, while agitating the system fluid.

A flotation separation system for partitioning a slurry comprises a flotation separation cell that comprises a sparger unit and a separation tank. The sparger unit comprises a slurry inlet for receiving a slurry and a gas inlet for introducing a gas into the slurry. The sparging mechanism disperses the gas bubbles within the slurry. A high shear element comprising a rotating shaft and a rotating high shear element mounted to it located within the sparging mechanism shears the gas into a bubble dispersion within the slurry. A slurry outlet discharges the slurry containing the bubble dispersion into the separation tank. An adjustable distributor plate at the slurry outlet restricts the flow of slurry through the slurry outlet. The distributor plate is mounted to the rotating shaft and rotates with the high shear element.

A method and an installation for treating a main wastewater stream flowing in a closed conduit with a flow direction. The method includes the steps of: introducing a liquid into at least one pre-treatment stream; generating a gas stream containing ozone gas; introducing the gas stream into the at least one pre-treatment stream, each with a gas injector, resulting in at least one mixed-phase stream comprising ozone laden gas and liquid; passing the at least one mixed-phase stream through at least one static mixer, resulting in a predefined gas bubble size; and injecting the at least one mixed-phase stream in the main wastewater stream perpendicular to the flow direction.

A microbubble device controller includes a box, and a first water pipe, a gas pipe and a bypass pipe installed in the box. The first water pipe is connected to a pump and has a first electromagnetic control valve to open or close the first water pipe. The gas pipe is connected to a gas source and the pump, and has a second electromagnetic control valve to open or close the gas pipe. The bypass pipe is connected to the first water pipe and has a pressure switch in telecommunication connection with the second electromagnetic control valve. The first electromagnetic control valve controls the first water pipe to be in the high flow state or a closed state to affect the bypass pipe. When the bypass pipe is in a high pressure state, the second electromagnetic control valve opens the gas pipe, or closes the gas pipe otherwise.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method of controlling an aquaculture environment comprising supplying one or more of a fluid and gas to a control apparatus positioned within a vessel at an angle relative to a proximal vessel wall; and discharging one or more of the fluid and gas from the control apparatus at a fluid velocity sufficient for scouring of the vessel.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a microbicide having high microbicidal performance for eradicating microbes. This method for manufacturing a microbicide comprises: a step for preparing an inorganic aqueous solution containing an inorganic component having seawater as a raw material thereof, an ozone mixing step for mixing ozone into the inorganic aqueous solution, and a stirring step for stirring the inorganic aqueous solution mixed with ozone and passing through a bubble generation nozzle; wherein, the temperature of the inorganic aqueous solution in the ozone mixing step and the stirring step is 0 C. to 30 C., and when the amount of inorganic aqueous solution treated in the ozone mixing step and the stirring step is defined as X liters and the treatment rate of the ozone mixing step and the stirring step is defined as Y liters/minute, then the microbicide is manufactured by alternately repeating the ozone mixing step and the stirring step for A.Math.X/Y minutes (where A is 30 or more).

The present disclosure relates to a dissolved air flotation system using ambient air, and more particularly, to a dissolved air flotation system that is capable of allowing ambient air to be introduced in front of a pump to generate micro air bubbles with the water discharged from the pump, so that the ambient air may be used instead of compressed air.
