Abstract: The invention relates to methods for restoring well productivity and to devices for cleaning downhole mesh filters without disassembling water-lifting equipment. Well productivity is restored and maintained using an acoustic method based on generating an ultrasonic fluid flow directed at a filter to clean the pre-filter zone of clogging deposits by moving an acoustic emitter along the filter. The acoustic emitter is placed within the lower portion of a casing string, downstream of a submersible downhole pump, and is connected to a means for delivering thereof into the filter zone. The acoustic emitter device comprises an ultrasonic transducer block, which is disposed between two supporting plates and is connected therewith by a rotary unit and an electric motor.

Abstract: A dip tank and recycling system for applying antimicrobial solution to food items, including a dip tank having a bottom and sides, and holding a liquid antimicrobial solution. A conveyor to convey food items through the tank passes through the liquid antimicrobial solution held in the tank such that food items conveyed on the conveyor are dipped in the liquid antimicrobial solution. At least two discharge nozzles spray fresh antimicrobial solution into the tank. The discharge nozzles are located in the sides of the tank, and are positioned above the level of the conveyor but below an expected top level of the liquid antimicrobial solution contained within the tank such that food items conveyed on the conveyor are agitated by the force of the spray from the discharge nozzles. The spray from the discharge nozzles causes unstacking of items on the conveyor, producing an even application of the antimicrobial solution.
