Claims
- 1. A contaminated liquid mixing apparatus, comprising:
a reactor head; a down tube extending from the reactor head and in fluid communication therewith; and a plurality of ports formed in the reactor head and configured to impart a spinning motion to a flow of liquid as it passes from the reactor head into the down tube, wherein each port is adapted to receive a flow restrictor to permit selective control of velocity and flow volume of the liquid through the down tube.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1, including an inlet in the reactor head and a receiving chamber within the reactor head in fluid communication with the inlet and the plurality of ports.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 2, including a cartridge disposed within the receiving chamber defining the plurality of ports.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the cartridge comprises a plurality facets, and wherein the plurality of ports are formed in at least one of the facets.
- 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein ports are formed in each facet of the cartridge.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the cartridge is removably disposed within the receiving chamber.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the reactor head includes means for accessing the receiving chamber and cartridge.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the accessing means comprises a removable lid.
- 9. The apparatus of claim 1, including a gas injection port formed in the reactor head.
- 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the gas injection port is formed in a removable lid of the reactor head.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flow restrictor comprises a removable flow restriction plug.
- 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein at least one flow restriction plug includes a liquid passageway.
- 13. A contaminated liquid mixing apparatus, comprising:
a reactor head including an inlet and a receiving chamber in fluid communication with the inlet; a down tube extending from the reactor head and in fluid communication therewith; a plurality of ports formed in the reactor head and in fluid communication with the receiving chamber, the ports being configured to impart a spinning motion to a flow of liquid as it passes from the reactor head into the down tube, wherein each port is adapted to receive a removable flow restriction plug to permit selective control of velocity and flow volume of the liquid through the down tube.
- 14. The apparatus of claim 13, including a cartridge disposed within the receiving chamber defining the plurality of ports.
- 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the cartridge comprises a plurality facets, and wherein the plurality of ports are formed in at least one of the facets.
- 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the cartridge is removably disposed within the receiving chamber.
- 17. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the reactor head includes means for accessing the receiving chamber and cartridge.
- 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the accessing means comprises a removable lid.
- 19. The apparatus of claim 13, including a gas injection port formed in the reactor head.
- 20. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least one flow restriction plug includes a liquid passageway.
- 21. A contaminated liquid mixing apparatus, comprising:
a reactor head including a liquid inlet and a receiving chamber in fluid communication with the inlet; a gas injection port formed in the reactor head; a down tube extending from the reactor head and in fluid communication therewith; a cartridge disposed within the receiving chamber having a plurality of ports in fluid communication with the receiving chamber, the ports being configured to impart a spinning motion to a flow of liquid as it passes from the reactor head into the down tube, wherein each port is adapted to receive a removable flow restriction plug to permit selective control of velocity and flow volume of the liquid through the down tube.
- 22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the cartridge comprises a plurality facets, and wherein the plurality of ports are formed in at least one of the facets.
- 23. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the cartridge is removably disposed within the receiving chamber.
- 24. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the reactor head includes means for accessing the receiving chamber and cartridge.
- 25. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the accessing means comprises a removable lid.
- 26. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein at least one flow restriction plug includes a liquid passageway.
