  • Publication number: 20220331759
    Abstract: A reactor arrangement for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member(s), a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media in a continuous process. The arrangement comprises at least one reactor with a cylindrical reaction vessel (11) in which at least one reactor a transformation device (100) has been mounted. The vessel (11) comprises at least one inlet port (30) in the vicinity of its bottom wall (18) and at least one outlet port (40) arranged in the vicinity of its upper end portion. Each inlet port (30) is connected to a fluid supply member (300) configured to be submerged below the fluid surface level in a pool or a pond. The fluid supply member (300) comprises at least one inlet opening (301) configured to continuously supply a fluid from the pool or the pond to the vessel (11). Each outlet port (40) is configured to continuously let out the fluid from the vessel (11) to the pool or the pond via the outlet port (40).

  • Patent number: 11291968
    Abstract: The invention refers to a reactor and a method respectively for performing, by means of solid reaction members, a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media, and a subsequent cleaning of the reactor, said reactor comprising a vessel (11) in which a transformation device (100) has been mounted. The invention also refers to a reactor kit comprising such reactor. The reactor comprises at least one nozzle (15) arranged on the longitudinal inner wall of the vessel (11). The at least one nozzle (15) is arranged to direct a flow of a cleaning fluid (CF) in a direction towards a longitudinal centre axis (L1) of a flow distributor (1) arranged in the vessel (11).

  • Publication number: 20220032244
    Abstract: A cylindrical flow distributor (100) for performing, by means of solid reaction members, a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media is provided. The flow distributor (100) comprises: a top wall (1); a bottom wall (2) comprising a central through going opening (13); and an outer wall (3) extending between the top wall (1) and the bottom wall (2). The top wall (1), the bottom wall (2) and an inner envelope surface (5) of said outer wall (3) together define a confinement (7) configured to contain solid reaction membersor a rigid body of a reaction member material.

  • Patent number: 11192076
    Abstract: The invention refers to a flow-promoting device (100; 100; 100?) for performing a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic medium. The flow-promoting device (100; 100; 100?) comprises a ferromagnetic material (5) and a retaining structure (1; 1; 1?), the retaining structure having a compartment (9; 9?) defined by a permeable material (11; 11?). The retaining structure (1; 1; 1?) comprises a top wall (3; 3?) and a circumferential side wall (4; 4?), wherein the top wall (3; 3?) and the circumferential side wall (4; 4?) is formed mainly by said permeable material (11; 11?). The compartment (9; 9?) of the retaining structure (1; 1; 1?) is arranged to contain at least one fluid-permeable solid reaction member.
