  • Solid halogen feed system
    Patent number: 5525241
    Abstract: A water treatment system including a tank for containing a solid treatment product such as a solid halogen. The water treatment system is adapted to be used in combination with a cooling system wherein treated water is fed to the cooling system through an outlet conduit leading from the tank. Drainage of water from the tank is facilitated by use of an eductor connected to an inlet conduit for the tank whereby water is drained from the tank to the inlet conduit and back to the outlet conduit, and is thereafter conveyed back to the cooling system. Thus, a closed system is formed by the treatment system in combination with an associated cooling system wherein the closed system is substantially environmentally safe in that drainage of the tank outside of the closed system is avoided.
