Apparatus for in-line mixing of fluids

TLDR: In this article, a method and apparatus for mixing a fluid traveling in a pipe section with a second fluid introduced into the pipe section by sparging the second fluid into pipe sections at points across the internal diameter of the pipe sections, disrupting the flow through the pipe Section with a perforated frusto-conical baffle coaxially aligned with the pipe, with its apex extending toward the means of spargging the second fluids, sparsifying additional second fluid downstream from within the throat of the frustoconical blowpipe baffle, and disrupted the flow within

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for mixing a fluid traveling in a pipe section with a second fluid introduced into the pipe section by sparging the second fluid into the pipe section at points across the internal diameter of the pipe section, disrupting the flow through the pipe section with a perforated frusto-conical baffle coaxially aligned with the pipe section with its apex extending toward the means of sparging the second fluid, sparging additional second fluid downstream from within the throat of the frusto-conical baffle, and disrupting the flow within the pipe downstream of the frusto-conical baffle and sparging means with a line restriction extending from the pipe section sidewalls into the pipe section to create an orifice of smaller diameter than the pipe section inside diameter coaxially aligned with the pipe section.
