AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing hydrodynamic liquid treatment reactors require high energy input and generate significant noise due to the high operating pressure needed to achieve effective purification, and additional electrolytic treatment increases energy consumption and introduces electrical considerations.

Method used

A liquid treatment reactor design with a cylindrical eddy current section within the reactor chamber, allowing the vortex flow to develop before acceleration, reducing the required operating pressure to 3.0 to 3.5 bar by leveraging the inertia of the vortex flow, and concentrating cavitation for efficient decomposition.

Benefits of technology

The reactor operates with lower energy input while achieving better decomposition results and reduced noise, with the ability to adapt to various applications through modular design and adjustable components.

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydrodynamic liquid treatment reactor (1), in particular for treating process water, comprising a reactor chamber (4) which is enclosed by a reactor housing (3) and through which the liquid to be treated flows, wherein the reactor chamber (4) has a first end section with at least one liquid inlet (2) which opens into the first end section in the tangential direction, an eddy current section in which the liquid to be treated through the liquid inlet (2) is brought into an eddy flow moving towards the second end section of the reaction chamber (4), said second end section being opposite the first end section, wherein the second end section comprises means for accelerating and causing a reversal of the movement of the eddy flow in the direction towards the first end section and has an outlet pipe (15) extending axially through the reactor chamber (4) and engaging through the bottom (9) of the first end section, the inflow opening (16) of said outlet pipe located in the reactor chamber (4) being arranged at a distance from the bottom (11) of the second end section, into which inflow opening (16) the eddy flow flows as a result of its movement reversal, wherein the eddy current section has a cylindrical inner contour enclosing the reactor chamber (4) in this section and has a length, in the direction of the axial extension of the reactor chamber (4), which is greater than the diameter of the liquid inlet (2).
