Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for conducting a mass transfer between a gas and a liquid, or for conducting a chemical reaction between a gas and a liquid. The method comprises supplying a liquid into a dynamic mixer, supplying a stripping gas or a reaction gas into the dynamic mixer, and flowing the liquid and the stripping gas or the reaction gas through the dynamic mixer in a turbulent co-current flow. The dynamic mixer includes a columnar casing, a rotor within the casing, which rotor has blades along substantially an entire length thereof, and stator blades positioned between the rotor blades within the casing along substantially an entire length of the casing.
Abstract: Method and equipment for purification of a liquid, where the liquid is polluted by other liquids or solid material, e.g. removing oil from oil contamined water, comprising a flocculation device (2) and a flotation device (8). The method comprises adding one or more chemicals to the liquid in a flocculation device that comprises one or more pipe loops (2) with built-in agitators (3, 20, 21) providing turbulence and plug-type flow through the loop. Thereupon purified liquid and pollutants are separated in the flotation device or in a sedimentation device (8). The equipment according to the invention comprises a pipe loop (2), provided with built-in agitator(s) (3, 20, 21), connected to the flotation device (8).
