While it is intended that each of the impeller blades 14 are preferably provided with an additive diffusor, for purposes of explanation, it will be sufficient to describe only one shown for blade 14 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • rotor impeller blade 14 extends from an inside rotor wall 54 (along line 56) to provide a free edge 58 on blade 14 disposed radially inwardly of wall 54 such that blade 14, when rotated, acts as a screw propeller to propel flow media through the rotor 12.

  • the illustrated arrangement obviously may be varied and tailored to' different types of additives being supplied, depending on whether the additive is a gas, liquid or solid and the nature of the solid additive if such is being used in the application of this invention.
  • each impeller blade 14 provides a suction force at a predetermined rotational speed of the rotor l2 as flow media passes over opposite sides of the blades 14, and centifugal force developed by rotor rotation causes the ball check valve member to automatically move radially outwardly against the bias of its spring 82 to permit additive in chamber 38 to be collected and positively directed by the additive collection ring 84 into the common manifold 68 and through the connecting individual passages 66 to each of the dispersion outlets 64.
  • the lead and pitch of each of the described impeller blades 14 is selectively dimensioned and contoured such that a vigorous propelling effect is produced by the pumping unit 10 to mix the additive with the flow media received, e.g., from supply line 98 (FIG. 2) within the pumping station 100 and to additionally drive the resulting homogenous composite downstream through a connecting pipeline 102 in a smooth powerful thrusting flow toward a separating station generally designated 104.
  • the total system is particularly suited to extract selected specific gravity masses from the total matter being mixed and transferred.
  • An example would be in providing an effective solution to separating out a relatively heavy precipitant in a high volume chemical process resulting from the mixing of a selected additive and flow media at the pumping station 100.
  • the fluid flow unit at the upstream pumping station 100 supplies sufficient kinetic energy required to transport the total mass through the entire system while the secondary or downstream fluid flow unit at the separating station 104 provides sufficient centrifugal energy required to effectively arrange different specific gravity elements of the total mass in a manner proportional to the radius of the connected pipeline.

  • plenum chamber 108 additionally serves to augmer t the separation of masses of different specific gravities which actually takes place in a transitional region between section lines D-D and E-E.
  • line pressure increases radially and provides a compressed cone effect such as depicted by broken lines at 109, allowing lower backpressures along the center portion of chamber 108 while the change in velocity direction as indicated by lines 111 and reduction in its axial magnitude creates higher pressures along the outer perimetrical depth of the diverging input end of chamber 108 to stabilize the separation process by surrounding the centrally arranged lighter specific gravity masses passing through chamber 108 within the described surrounding high pressure zone (section B) while also allowing the higher specific gravity masses with their relatively high kinetic energy and centrifugal velocities to easily pass around the outside of cone 109 into the surrounding high pressure zone of chamber 108.
  • annular manifold may be used in the transitional region of chamber 108 to promote separation of the different specific gravity masses. It is to be understood that the described system may be designed for laminar flow of the lower specific gravity masses through the center of plenum chamber 108 thereby significantly stabilizing the core of the mass flow. While the diverging input end of chamber 108 may reduce the critical Reynolds number, practically all cases of fluid flow through the surrounding high pressure outer zone of chamber 108 will be in the turbulent-flow region.
