  • FLUIDIZED BED APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOVING SOLUBLE AND PARTICULATE MATTER FROM A LIQUID
    Publication number: 20090145846
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing soluble and particulate matter from a liquid. The liquid is introduced into a lower section of the apparatus and develops an upward helical flow. The vertical component of the helical flow is decreased in a conical section. The liquid then passes through fluidized bed media where an interaction between the liquid and the fluidized bed media can occur. The liquid may be passed through a system that removes suspended solids.
