Systems and methods for aeration and mixing processes are disclosed.

Systems and methods for aeration and mixing processes are disclosed.

A blow-molding plastic bubble-generating device is provided, including a board-like shell body. The board-like shell body is formed through blowing a hollow embryo placed in a mold, the hollow embryo is blown and expanded, the hollow embryo is penetrated through by a plurality of needle posts on an inner wall of the mold to form the board-like shell body, the board-like shell body is integrally formed and hollow and has a shell wall which completely and continuously surrounds the board-like shell body, and the shell wall has a plurality of through holes.

A diffuser assembly includes a flexible diffuser membrane and a diffuser body. The flexible diffuser membrane defines a perimeter edge bead along four edges. The diffuser body defines an underlying body portion underlying the flexible diffuser membrane, and a perimeter edge frame covering a covered portion of the perimeter edge bead. The edge frame defines an inside surface that conforms to an outside shape of the covered portion of the perimeter edge bead. The perimeter edge frame is integral to the underlying body portion.

A bag assembly for use with a heat exchanger includes a flexible bag having of one or more sheets of polymeric material, the bag having a first end that bounds a first compartment and an opposing second end that bounds a second compartment, a support structure being disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment so that the first compartment is separated and isolated from the second compartment. A first inlet port, a first outlet port, and a first drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the first compartment. A second inlet port, a second outlet port, and a second drain port are coupled with the flexible bag so as to communicate with the second compartment.

An essential oils diffuser with a micro air pump providing between 500 and 1500 Pa of pressure with a consumption of between 0.2 and 1 Watts may be used to push air into essential oils or an essential oil solution to diffuse and expel the oils into the air, while keeping the oils away from the air pump, preventing the oils from shortening the life of the diffuser. The diffuser may include a power supply and a controller to regulate the operation of the diffuser.

An aeration element for gasification or aeration of liquids includes an essentially flattened, rigid support element having a substantially oval cross-section and corrugated outer surfaces, the corrugated outer surfaces including ridges defining grooves therebetween; a threaded opening for receiving a cooperating fitting for connection to an air supply; and a flexible membrane of elastomeric material disposed around the support element. An assembly bracket includes upper and portions that can be cooperatingly attached to one another about the aeration element for securing the aeration element to a floor of a tank or pool. The assembly bracket includes through-going passages for enabling water to circulate around the bracket and reduce buoyancy of the assembly. Two aeration elements of shorter lengths can be positioned adjacent two one another, secured within assembly brackets, and connected at adjacent ends, so that one of the aeration elements functions as a conduit to the other aeration element when air is supplied into one of the aeration elements.

An apparatus for use with a wastewater treatment tank is described. The apparatus includes a track, pipe modules coupled to the track such that the pipe modules are translatable along the track, and diffusers attached to the pipe modules. Each pipe module defines a respective partially curved mating surface, a respective partially curved mating cavity, and a respective gas passage passing through it. The respective partially curved mating surface of a first pipe module is inserted into the respective partially curved mating cavity of a second pipe module, while the respective partially curved mating surface of the second pipe module is inserted into the respective partially curved mating cavity of a third pipe module. Each gas passage of the pipe modules is in gaseous communication with the other gas passages of the pipe modules. At the same time, each diffuser is in gaseous communication with the gas passages of the pipe modules.

A fine bubble generating device is provided, including: a main body, having an inlet, an outlet and a venturi tube mechanism located between the inlet and the outlet, the venturi tube mechanism having a neck portion communicating with outside; a bubble fining mechanism, having at least one passage which is smaller than the inlet in cross-sectional area, the at least one passage communicating with and between the venturi tube mechanism and the outlet. The bubble fining mechanism includes a first vortex member having at least one first slant hole and a second vortex member having at least one second slant hole. The at least one first slant hole and the at least one second slant hole are inclined toward opposite directions, and the first vortex member and the second vortex member is disposed between the venturi tube mechanism and the outlet.

An essential oils diffuser with a micro air pump providing between 500 and 1500 Pa of pressure with a consumption of between 0.2 and 1 Watts may be used to push air into essential oils or an essential oil solution to diffuse and expel the oils into the air, while keeping the oils away from the air pump, preventing the oils from shortening the life of the diffuser. The diffuser may include a power supply and a controller to regulate the operation of the diffuser.
