Abstract

Abstract A fluid pollution eradication and air bubbling system having a cooling condenser unit for removing vapor, a baffle plate unit for removing solid impurities, and a fluid scrubbing and neutralizing unit. The baffle unit contains removable baffle plates with air foils which are coated with a sticky substance for removing the impurities from the fluid while in a state of turbulence and the fluid scrubbing and neutralizing unit comprises a series of bubbling tanks for scrubbing, neutralizing and deodorizing the polluted fluid. Preferably an alternate bubbling unit is provided whereby the first unit may be shut down completely for repair or cleaning purposes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 240 words
In a fluid pollution eradicator comprising a fluid intake line, a first fluid moisture removing unit connected to said intake line, a second moisture removing unit connected to said intake line, valve means interposed between said intake lIne and said units respectively for controlling the flow of fluid from said intake line to said units respectively, said units having piping connected with the inlet from said valve means and providing a tortuous flow of the fluid through said units respectively and separating the flow thereof from cooling mediums within the units, an impurity removing baffle system including a plurality of filter units each having a plurality of filter plates arranged therein with flow passageways disposed at alternate ends of adjacent plates, said plates having baffles on each side thereof arranged for producing turbulence in the fluid flowing through said filter units, said plates being coated with an impurity removing adhesive substance, piping connecting said filter units with each of said moisture removing units, and valve means in said last mentioned piping for controlling the flow from the moisture removing units to said filter units respectively, and a fluid scrubbing and neutralizing unit connected to the output of said baffle system and including at least two communicating tanks, said two communicating tanks containing respectively a foamless detergent and a neutralizing chemical, and means for producing a bubbling of the fluid from the baffle system through said detergent and said neutralizing tanks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 240 words
In a fluid pollution eradicator comprising a fluid intake line, a first fluid moisture removing unit connected to said intake line, a second moisture removing unit connected to said intake line, valve means interposed between said intake lIne and said units respectively for controlling the flow of fluid from said intake line to said units respectively, said units having piping connected with the inlet from said valve means and providing a tortuous flow of the fluid through said units respectively and separating the flow thereof from cooling mediums within the units, an impurity removing baffle system including a plurality of filter units each having a plurality of filter plates arranged therein with flow passageways disposed at alternate ends of adjacent plates, said plates having baffles on each side thereof arranged for producing turbulence in the fluid flowing through said filter units, said plates being coated with an impurity removing adhesive substance, piping connecting said filter units with each of said moisture removing units, and valve means in said last mentioned piping for controlling the flow from the moisture removing units to said filter units respectively, and a fluid scrubbing and neutralizing unit connected to the output of said baffle system and including at least two communicating tanks, said two communicating tanks containing respectively a foamless detergent and a neutralizing chemical, and means for producing a bubbling of the fluid from the baffle system through said detergent and said neutralizing tanks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
In a fluid eradicator system as defined in claim 1, wherein a container is arranged in the fluid flow line containing a fluid deodorizing solution.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
