The invention relates to a diffusor for adding of gases into water, said diffusor comprising a perforated tube (1) and at least one supply tube (2), said the at least one supply tube (2) is at one end coupled to a source for supplying gas and at the other end in fluid communication with the perforated tube (1), the gas is supplied to the perforated tube (1) through at least one inner supply tube (4; 5; 15) extending from the supply tube (2) to the perforated tube (1). The invention is distinctive in that at the least one inner supply tube (4; 5; 15) is a non-perforating tube and has at least one outlet (4a, 5a, 15a) situated at a free end of the at least one inner supply tube (4, 5, 15), said gas is adapted to be distributed into the perforated tube (1) through the at least one outlet (4a, 5a, 15a).

A sparger assembly for a bioprocessing system includes a first layer having a plurality of pores of a first size, and a second layer disposed above the first layer and having a plurality of holes of a second size, the second size being greater than the first size. The pores of the first layer and the holes of the second layer allow for the passage of a sparge gas through the first layer and the second layer.

This invention provides a continuous liquid phase type wet exhaust gas treatment method for removing sulfur oxides from exhaust gas and collecting it as gypsum, which method is simple and humidifying liquid is uniformly sprayed into exhaust gas with it. The method is characterized in that humidifying liquid is injected downwardly in a region where exhaust gas flows vertically downwardly.

An apparatus for producing nano-bubbles in a volume of liquid is described. The apparatus includes a motor having a rotatable shaft, an axially rotatable permeable member couplable to a gas inlet, and a rotatable tube support coupled to the rotatable shaft of the motor and having an inner cavity that houses the axially rotatable permeable member. When rotated, the axially rotatable permeable member is rotated so that the surface velocity of the rotatable permeable member simulates axial turbulent flow above the turbulent threshold in the liquid that allows the liquid to shear gas from the outer surface of the axially rotatable permeable member, thereby forming nano-bubbles in the liquid.

A system and method for aerating and mixing wastewater that includes fine bubble diffusers located at least partially below a large bubble mixer. At least a portion of the gas discharged from the fine bubble diffusers is captured by the large bubble mixer and is reused by the large bubble mixer to form and release intermittent large bubbles. Prior to being captured by the large bubble mixer, the gas discharged by the fine bubble diffusers can aerate the wastewater. The large bubble mixer includes an accumulator that, upon becoming filled with gas, generates and releases a large bubble. Upon discharge from the large bubble mixer, the large bubbles generated therein may separate into a plurality of coarse bubbles for providing additional oxygen transfer and mixing of the wastewater. The system may include supply lines for supplying gas only to the fine bubble diffuser.

An aeration device pertaining to the technical field of sewage treatment includes a flow mixing chamber and an air inlet chamber. The flow mixing chamber has a liquid inlet opening, a liquid outlet opening, and an air inlet hole penetrating the chamber wall and located inside the air inlet chamber. The air inlet chamber has an air inlet opening and an interior space whose cross-sectional area is gradually reduced along the liquid flow direction in the flow mixing chamber. The cross-sectional area and number of the air inlet hole can be properly set in order for the mixed fluid produced by the aeration device to have relatively high-density small-diameter air bubbles that contribute to mixing the liquid flow and air flow sufficiently, dissolving oxygen rapidly and sufficiently into the liquid flow, increasing the oxygen dissolution rate of the mixed fluid, and enhancing aeration efficiency.

A chemical solution vaporization device includes a chemical solution tank including chemical solution vaporization rooms, a chemical solution sensing room, and a chemical solution supply room. A first internal wall separating the plurality of chemical solution vaporization rooms from each other includes a first opening at a lower portion thereof. A second internal wall separating at least one of the plurality of chemical solution vaporization rooms from the chemical solution supply room includes a second opening at a lower portion thereof. A third internal wall separating at least one of the plurality of chemical solution vaporization rooms from the chemical solution sensing room includes a third opening at a lower portion thereof. And a lower portion of a fourth internal wall separating the chemical solution sensing room from the chemical solution supply room is combined with the lower wall.

The systems and methods disclosed herein provide for the efficient generation of fine bubbles. In particular, systems and methods for use in bioreactors are disclosed herein providing a superior means to produce useful fermentation products by the biological fermentation of fine bubble waste substrates injected into a liquid broth containing a microorganism culture.

A microbubble generation device comprises a liquid inlet (101), a gas inlet (104), a bubble flow outlet (103), and a gas-liquid mixing chamber (102). An air-permeable hole having an angle structure is provided at a gas-liquid interface of the gas-liquid mixing chamber (102), and a pointed end of the angle structure of the air-permeable hole points to a liquid flow direction. The bubbles generated by the device are extremely small in diameter, prolonging a duration the bubbles stay in the liquid phase, and enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency.
