Abstract:
1. A process for treating coal industry wastewater comprising the steps of: fluidly connecting to a source of industrial wastewater fluid flow and pressurizing the fluid flow; injecting ozone into the pressurized fluid flow; directing said fluid through a flash reactor having flow paths that create areas of severe velocity and pressure changes for reducing the ozone into nano sized bubbles; passing said fluid through a hydrodynamic mixing manifold constructed and arranged to cause hydrodynamic cavitation of said fluid; directing an output of said hydrodynamic mixed fluid through a converging dynamic nozzle; conveying said fluid into a reactor having a plurality of ultrasonic transducers; energizing a plurality of ultrasonic transducers positioned within said reactor to generate acoustic cavitation within said fluid; and changing the electrical potential within said fluid upon energizing a plurality of anodes and cathodes positioned within said reactor; whereby the process reduces the scaling potential of said fluid, destroys bacteria within said fluid and heavy metals within said fluid precipitated.
