A system and method of wellbore operations that uses an eductor unit for introducing additives into a moving fluid stream to form a mixture. The mixture is used as a completion drilling fluid for drilling through plugs installed in a wellbore. Example additives include polymers, such as friction reducers, viscosifiers, potassium chloride, polysaccharide, polyacrylamide, biocides, lubricants, long chain polymer molecules, and the like. The fluid is primarily fresh water and/or brine water, and acts as a motive fluid in the eductor unit for drawing the additive into the eductor unit. Forming the mixture in the eductor unit which is injected into the wellbore.

A method of controlling the flow of different flow paths of fluid is provided. The method includes rotating a valve to a first position, receiving a first concentrate in the first position, discharging the first concentrate through one of two outlets, rotating the valve to a second position, receiving a second concentrate in the second position, and discharging the second concentrate through one of the two outlets.

The invention is an apparatus for preparing a chemical solution. A device of the present invention includes a housing including a lower chamber and an upper chamber and a dissolving bowl arranged at an interface of the lower chamber and upper chamber. The dissolving bowl includes a grid disposed within. Solid, undissolved chemical material rests on a top surface of the grid, such that the grid is able to maintain physical separation of the solid, undissolved chemical material from at least a bottom portion of the dissolving bowl. The device further includes a nozzle disposed within the dissolving bowl and positioned so as to direct flow of aqueous fluid into the dissolving bowl and towards the grid. The dissolving bowl further includes an outlet in fluid communication with the lower chamber to thereby allow for a prepared chemical solution to flow from the dissolving bowl into the lower chamber.

A device and method for cleaning contaminated solid-liquid mixtures by removing impurities and contaminants from an aqueous paper fiber suspension by flotation. Apparatus includes a first conduit (2) for a liquid, a second conduit (3) for a solid-liquid mixture, a third conduit (4) connecting first and second conduit (2, 3), a Venturi mixing element (5) with cones (7, 11), having small through-opening into chamber (9) which forms a cavity with small through-opening (12, 13) of the cones; the through-opening of first cone (7) connected with first conduit (2) and the rough-opening connected to second conduit (2), the small through-opening (12) of first cone (7) and the non-conical conduit sections arranged in longitudinal axial alignment, a fourth conduit (6) for conveying gas, wherein the fourth conduit (6) opens to the Venturi mixing element (5), and a fractionator arranged downstream of the second conduit (3) for removing the foam produced by flotation.

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.

A pneumatic cleaning gun according to the present invention comprises a gun housing with a compressed air connection, a liquid nozzle with a nozzle cover, and an air intake tube which leads into the covered flow channel and can also be connected to a suction device via a suction hose in order to suction dirt particles through the flow channel. The cleaning gun is configured such that the air intake tube is not rigidly but pivotably mounted on the cleaning gun. The air intake tube can therefore be mounted in a plurality of different positions of use such that the user can find the most comfortable or convenient position of use and the air intake tube can be correspondingly adjusted.

The present disclosure provides fluid eductors, systems that utilize fluid eductors, and methods of entraining a suction fluid flow using a fluid eductor. Exemplary fluid eductors include a concentric eductor space or a plurality of annular eductor spaces. Exemplary methods include ejecting a volume of motive fluid out of a concentric eductor space of a fluid eductor, accelerating a peripheral region of the suction fluid flow with the motive fluid ejecting out of the first annular eductor space, and accelerating a core region of the suction fluid flow with the motive fluid ejecting out of the second annular eductor space.

A material wetting system for wetting a powder material includes a liquid supply system, a material mixing unit, a material supply system, and a shroud assembly. The liquid supply system includes a supply line. The material mixing unit is in fluid communication with the supply line and includes a central cavity having an open upper end configured to receive a supply of powder material. The material mixing unit is configured to receive liquid from the supply line and is operatively connected to a reduced pressure source to draw air into the central cavity. The material supply system includes an orifice and is configured to feed powder material through the orifice, with the orifice disposed above the central cavity of the material mixing unit. The shroud assembly is disposed about the open upper end of the central cavity of the material mixing unit and the orifice of the material supply system.

In a device for infusing a gas from a gas source into a liquid beverage, a beverage container defines an interior for holding the liquid beverage therein. A venturi mixing device has a liquid inlet port in fluid communication with the beverage container, a gas inlet port in fluid communication with the gas source and a discharge port. The venturi mixing device is configured to infuse the gas received from the gas source into liquid beverage received from the beverage container. A faucet is in fluid communication with the discharge port of the venturi mixing device and is configured to dispense the liquid beverage infused with the gas.

An assembly for controlling the eductive dispensing of multiple chemical fluids is described. The assembly is designed to detachably engage with existing eductor valve assemblies as either an original part or as a replacement part. The assembly comprises a plurality of selector gears that rotatably engage with eductor valve assemblies. The selector gears are in communication with a control gear. When the assembly is attached to a plurality of eductor valve assemblies an individual can control the rotation of multiple valve assemblies by rotating a single control knob.
