Reactive beads interact with a fluid to be treated in a treatment chamber that retains the beads in the chamber and provides a geometry which promotes the fluid flow agitation of the beads to enhance the treatment.
대표청구항▼
1. A device for treating a fluid comprising: (a) a chamber body with an inlet and outlet portion including a vertical flow path and a sideway flow path that intersects the vertical path, wherein a lower end of the vertical path forms a fluid inlet opening and an upper end of the vertical path is ope
1. A device for treating a fluid comprising: (a) a chamber body with an inlet and outlet portion including a vertical flow path and a sideway flow path that intersects the vertical path, wherein a lower end of the vertical path forms a fluid inlet opening and an upper end of the vertical path is open, wherein the sideway path includes an inner end connecting with the vertical path and an outer end that forms a fluid outlet opening, an inlet screen that extends across the vertical path at an elevation that is below the sideway flow path, and an outlet screen extending across the sideway path at a location that is outside of said vertical flow path;(b) the chamber body also with an agitation area defining a vertical flow path having upper and lower ends that are open, wherein the lower end of the vertical path of the chamber body agitation area is connected to the open upper end of the vertical path of said inlet and outlet body portion;(c) the chamber body also with a closure attachment defining a vertical flow path having upper and lower ends that are open, wherein the lower open end of the vertical flow path of the closure attachment is connected to the open upper end of the vertical flow path of the chamber body agitation area portion;(d) a closure for closing the open upper end of the vertical flow path of the closure attachment;(e) a plurality of reactive beads disposed in the chamber body defined by a portion of the vertical flow path of the inlet and outlet body portion disposed above the inlet screen, the vertical flow path of the agitation area of the chamber body, the vertical flow path of the closure attachment, and the closure; and(f) whereby a flow of fluid directed into the inlet opening will cause the reactive beads to move upwardly from the inlet screen toward the agitation area of the chamber and fluid exiting the outlet opening will cause the reactive beads to move downwardly from the agitation area of the chamber toward the inlet and outlet portion, the chamber thereby agitating the reactive beads within the chamber. 2. The device of claim 1 further comprising an agitation area height greater than a height of the inlet and outlet portion and also greater than a height of the closure attachment. 3. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 2 wherein the fluid is selected from the group consisting of liquid and gas. 4. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 3 wherein one or more of the bead reactions is selected from the group consisting of adsorbents, desiccants, reagents, and catalysts. 5. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 4 wherein one or more of the bead materials is selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicate minerals, clays, porous glasses, microporous charcoals, zeolites, active carbons, plant fertilizing chemicals, alkaline pH reduction, synthetic compounds, or electrochemically active materials. 6. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 1 wherein the fluid is selected from the group consisting of liquid and gas. 7. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 6 wherein one or more of the bead reactions is selected from the group consisting of adsorbents, desiccants, reagents, and catalysts. 8. The reactive bead fluid treatment chamber of claim 7 wherein one or more of the bead materials is selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicate minerals, clays, porous glasses, microporous charcoals, zeolites, active carbons, plant fertilizing chemicals, alkaline pH reduction, synthetic compounds, or electrochemically active materials. 9. A method of treating fluids with reactive beads comprising: (a) providing the device of claim 1;(b) directing a flow of fluid into the fluid inlet opening;(c) agitating the beads with fluid flow; and(d) receiving a flow of a treated fluid from the fluid outlet opening. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising (a) stopping the fluid flow; (b) removing the chamber body closure attachment closure; (c) replacing the reactive beads; (d) installing the chamber body closure; and (e) restoring the fluid flow. 11. The device of claim 9 further comprising an agitation area height greater than a height of the inlet and outlet portion and also greater than a height of the closure attachment. 12. The method of claim 9 wherein the fluid is selected from the group consisting of liquid and gas. 13. The method of claim 12 wherein one or more of the bead reactions is selected from the group consisting of adsorbents, desiccants, reagents, and catalysts. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein one or more of the bead materials is selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicate minerals, clays, porous glasses, microporous charcoals, zeolites, active carbons, plant fertilizing chemicals, alkaline pH reduction, synthetic compounds, or electrochemically active materials.
