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.

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.

An apparatus is disclosed including: a housing including a conduit having an inlet port and an outlet port; an insert at least partially disposed within the conduit and including a tapered portion extending from a narrower end proximal the inlet port to a wider end distal the inlet port; and a facility for adjusting the position of the insert within the conduit. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to receive a mixed flow of liquid and gas at the inlet port, direct the mixed flow through the conduit around a portion of the insert disposed within the chamber, and outlet the mixed flow at the outlet port.

The present invention relates to a device, particularly a nozzle, for treating waste water, said nozzle having an outer tube and an inner tube. An intermediate space is formed between the outer tube and the inner tube and said intermediate space between the outer tube and the inner tube is divided into at least two chambers in the longitudinal direction of the tubes. The inner tube tapers in the longitudinal direction and then widens again and has at least one opening into each chamber at the constricted area. On the inner side of the inner tube and/or in the interior thereof, the device preferably has a catalyst. The present invention further relates to a method for oxidizing polluted waste water and a system for performing the method.

A method comprises steps for (a) providing a liquid in a container; (b) flowing a gas to a volume within the liquid, wherein the volume is at least partially submerged in the liquid; and (c) repeatedly increasing and decreasing the volume, wherein the cycles of increasing and decreasing generates a pulsed aerated flow, wherein at least one of the pulsed aerated flow is released within the container and the pulsed aerated flow is released outside the container.

A generation apparatus for dissolving gas in liquid includes a sealed dissolving tank, a gas supply tube, a liquid supply set, and a fluid nozzle, wherein the sealed dissolving tank having a liquid inlet tube and a liquid outlet tube; a gas chamber formed inside the tank above liquid level; the gas supply tube supplying gas into gas chamber; the fluid nozzle disposed inside the tank; the liquid supply set supplying liquid to the fluid nozzle; the fluid nozzle disposed with at least a gas inlet and at least a liquid bubble inlet at different locations on shell wall; the gas inlet connected to a gas tube to the gas chamber, and the liquid bubble inlet located below the liquid level inside the tank. As such, the fluid nozzle performs at least two dissolving operations to miniaturize the bubbles to increase contact surface and improve dissolving efficiency.

The present technology relates to a gas transfer system having removable nozzle assemblies, ejectors or other gas transfer device(s). The nozzle assemblies are removably connected to a monolithic liquid/gas manifold. The present technology also provides nozzle assemblies having an inner nozzle, an outer nozzle adapted for connection to the inner nozzle, and a pipe adapter for connecting the inner nozzle to a liquid manifold.

An apparatus, includes: a first raw material supply unit 110 including a filter housing 111, a supply fan 112, a flow regulator 113, an electronic valve 114, and an air supply line 115, wherein the supply fan 112 is operated to suck in external air, in the process, the HEPA filter (not shown) mounted inside the filter housing 112 filters fine dust and adjusts the air supply flow rate from the flow regulator 113 to the appropriate flow rate and supplies through the supply line 115 to the ion generator 200; a second raw material supply unit 120 including a pressure regulator 122, a flow regulator 123, an electronic valve 124, and an air supply line 125.

A trihalomethane (THM) and volatile organic compound (VOC) removal system includes: a storage vessel; a fluid inlet on the storage vessel where fluid enters said storage vessel; a fluid outlet on the storage vessel where fluid exits said storage vessel; and a fluid fitting on said storage vessel. Fluid leaves the storage vessel via an inlet conduit attached to the fluid fitting and flows through a pump and passes through a venturi aspirator, and returns to the storage vessel through an outlet conduit attached to the storage vessel.

An aerator has a submersible mixing tube having a water inlet and an aerated water outlet. An aspirating tube penetrates the mixing tube between the water inlet and the aerated water outlet, the aspirating tube having an air outlet introducing air into the mixing tube and an air inlet drawing in air from atmosphere above a water surface. The mixing tube has an outboard motor lower unit engagement to engage a lower unit of an outboard motor in use such that a propeller thereof locates entirely within the mixing tube with a midsection of the outboard motor extending from the engagement. As such, the propeller of the outboard motor lower unit thrusts water past the air inlet thereby creating suction at the inlet to draw air via the mixing tube to mix with the water to expel a plume of aerated water.
