A system, method, and apparatus for oxygenation of a source of water, to increase the dissolved oxygen content of water. Aspects of the present invention harnesses and directs the power of water flowing through the system to extract oxygen present in air, rather than relying on the injection of gas or using other mechanical means. The water oxygenator is formed as an elongate cylindrical tube having a water inlet at a first end, a water outlet at a second end, and an air inlet proximal to the first end. The elongate cylindrical tube has an outer sidewall defining a mixing chamber within an interior cavity of the water oxygenator. The mixing chamber includes a plurality of baffles that are disposed in a spaced apart relation along a longitudinal length of the interior cavity.

A nozzle includes a main chamber defining a first internal space, a first inlet defined in a first end of the main chamber to couple to a material sprayer, a second inlet to receive a solid material into the main chamber, and an outlet defined in a second end of the main chamber. The first inlet upstream from the second inlet to allow a fluid material to enter the main chamber before the solid material. The main chamber configured to mix the solid material with the fluid material.

The invention relates to a mixing installation for forming a multi-component product. The mixing installation comprises a material flow line having a first injection inlet, a second injection inlet and a third injection inlet. The third injection inlet is arranged downstream of the first injection inlet and the second injection inlet. The flow line (is provided with a purge downstream of the third injection inlet and arranged directly at the outlet of the third injection inlet, the purge being movable between an active state of purging an upstream part of the flow line and a passive state in which the purge allows the material to flow in the flow line. The invention further relates to an associated control method.

A water treatment system is disclosed having an electrolytic cell for liberating hydrogen from a base solution. The base solution may be a solution of brine for generating sodium hypochlorite or potable water to be oxidized. The cell has first and second opposing electrode end plates held apart from each other by a pair of supports such that the supports enclose opposing sides of the end plates to form a cell chamber. One or more inner electrode plates are spaced apart from each other in the cell chamber in between the first and second electrode plates. The supports are configured to electrically isolate the first and second electrode plates and the inner electrode plates from each other. The first and second electrode plates are configured to receive opposite polarity charges that passively charge the inner electrode plates via conduction from the base solution to form a chemical reaction in the base solution as the base solution passes through the cell chamber.

A multi-component mixing device including at least a first supply of a first product and a second supply of a second product. The mixing device has a mixing chamber having at least a first inlet and a second inlet, the first supply opening into the mixing chamber at the first inlet and the second supply opening into the mixing chamber at the second inlet. The mixing device includes a nozzle arranged and adapted to inject the second product from the second supply into the mixing chamber as a flat jet. An associated mixing method is also provided.

Apparatus for producing fine particles having a particle formation mechanism and a particle-outlet micro-channel may include a unit-structure including first and second portions adjacent to each other; and a first inlet defined in the first portion at a first height. A continuous phase solution is injected into the first inlet; and a second inlet is defined in the first portion at a second height different from the second height. A dispersed phase solution is injected into the second inlet. A merging volume is defined in the second portion and is defined at third height equal to either the first height and the second height, or has a value therebetween. The continuous phase solution and the dispersed phase solution are merged in the merging volume, wherein fine particles are formed. A first micro-channel and a second micro-channel branching from the merging volume communicates with the first inlet and the second inlet, respectively.
