Exemplary embodiments are directed to venturi bypass systems that generally include a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The systems can include a venturi path disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The venturi path can include a venturi defining a venturi inlet and a venturi outlet. The systems can include a bypass loop connected to the venturi path at a joint upstream of the venturi outlet. The systems can include a separation tube connected to the venturi outlet. The separation tube can extend fluid flowing through the venturi path downstream of the joint at which the bypass loop connects to the venturi path. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to methods of regulating fluid flow through a venturi bypass system.

An apparatus and method for increasing the mass transfer of a treatment substance into a liquid flowing in a pipe in a full pipe flow regime has a diversion conduit which receives a portion of the liquid. The portion of the liquid is mixed with a treatment substance and then reintroduced into the pipe at a downstream location through an injection structure. Between the diversion conduit, on the upstream side, and the injection structure, on the downstream side, there are a plurality of flow vanes disposed circumferentially about a cylindrical inner wall of the pipe, where each flow vane extends radially inward toward a central axis of the pipe, extending into the main stream flow of the liquid. Another embodiment of the invention has a flow grid located downstream of the injection structure.

A tap apparatus including a container coupling portion including a liquid inlet portion, a body portion, and a plug valve portion. The body portion included a liquid outlet portion, wherein the liquid outlet portion is in fluid communication with the liquid inlet portion of the container coupling portion. The plug valve portion is configured and arranged to be seated within the body portion, wherein the plug valve portion is configured and arranged to be moved relative to the body portion between an open position, in which a liquid is free to flow from the liquid inlet portion and out through the liquid outlet portion, and a closed position, in which liquid from the liquid inlet portion is prevented from flowing out through the liquid outlet portion. The body portion also includes a plurality of flow channels provided in an interior surface thereof.

A turbine assisted Venturi mixer has a first and second fluid channels leading to a Venturi for mixing fluids separately introduced via the channels. The mixer is assisted with a compressor powered by a turbine turned by fluid flow through the second channel and acting between the channels to pump fluid through the first channel.

A double nozzle to provide a maximum suction pressure and return an injectable fluid to a central point of a current fluid flow is developed. The double nozzle comprise at least three main parts including at least three way intersections tube, a suction tube and a suction chamber that the suction tube and the suction chamber is mounted within the three way intersections tube. The injectable fluid entered to the double nozzle utilizing the suction tube and mixed with the current fluid at a mixing area provided between the suction tube and the suction chamber inside the double nozzle under the provided maximum suction pressure.

A system for introducing gas from an unconventional source into a gas grid pipeline includes a passive blender (10) that introduces gas from an unconventional source (1) into a gas grid (2), the passive blender (10) having gas inputs (3, 11) from the unconventional source (1) and the gas grid (2) and a blended gas output (12), and wherein an internal flow path within the passive blender (10) is shaped and sized to provide entraining and mixing of the gases. The passive blender (10) acts to entrain gas from a gas grid (2) through input (11) by utilising the flow of gas from an unconventional source (1) through input 3, proportionally blending inputs 3 and 11 before outputting the blended gas back to the main gas grid (2). The system comprises the passive blender (10) of the present invention, a first gas input pipe (11) from a grid gas pipeline (2) into the passive blender (10) a second gas input pipe (3) from the unconventional source (1) into the passive blender (1), and an output pipe (12) from the passive blender (10) into the grid gas pipeline (2). The blender (10) and system are advantageous in that they can greatly reduce the necessary conditioning of unconventional gas before it is introduced into a gas grid supply (2) without additional flow motivation or controls.

One fluid is mixed into another to provide a high degree of surface contact between the fluids. In operation, the first fluid flows into an aerodynamic perforated vane mixing apparatus in a laminar condition, and is swirled within the mixing apparatus, the second fluid contacts the first fluid, and then the mixture flows through a scalloped device with a regulated venturi expander. A system for mixing one fluid into another and rotatably shearing and homogenizing material is also disclosed. One or more aerodynamic anomalies are employed to provide complete mixing of multiple fluids one or more of which may be a viscous laminar flow fluid. The shearing may be performed by a scissor rotated by a hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric motor. The sheared material may include, for example, paraffin located within crude oil. If desired, the second fluid may be introduced by a multi-physics fluid delivery device.
