Abstract:
1. A continuous flow water treatment system comprising: an outer conduit in fluid communication with a source of water to be treated wherein the outer conduit provides a continuous flow of water; an inner conduit mounted within the outer conduit and in the continuous flow of water, the inner conduit defining a reaction zone that is in fluid communication with a lumen of the outer conduit; a first chemical injector mounted into the inner conduit and being connected to a source of peroxide solution for providing a flow of the peroxide solution to the reaction zone; a second chemical injector mounted into the inner conduit and being connected to a source of metal ion solution for providing a flow of the metal ion solution to the reaction zone, wherein the peroxide solution and the metal ion solution react in the reaction zone to produce hydroxyl free radicals that are expelled out of the reaction zone into the lumen of the outer conduit to mix with the continuous flow of water flowing by the inner conduit and the contaminants therein to oxidize the contaminants; a mixer downstream of the reaction zone for agitating the water and free radical mixture for thoroughly distributing the free radicals in the water to enhance the oxidation of the contaminants; and an outflow conduit in fluid communication with the mixer for expelling the treated water from the mixer.
