Patent ID: 7959813

Claim:
A system for continuously treating a contaminated fluid stream and for continuously regenerating a solid reactive media used in the treatment of the contaminated fluid stream, the system comprising: a treatment column operable to continuously flow solid reactive media there through to treat a contaminated fluid stream, the treatment column having a solid reactive media inlet and a solid spent media outlet; and a regeneration column adapted to continuously receive solid spent media from the treatment column, the regeneration column comprising: a regeneration fluid outlet; a regeneration fluid inlet below the regeneration fluid outlet; a rinsing fluid outlet below the regeneration fluid inlet; a rinsing fluid inlet below the rinsing fluid outlet; a solid spent media inlet above the regeneration fluid inlet, the solid spent media inlet being connected in fluid communication with or interconnectable to the solid spent media outlet of the treatment column; a solid reactive media outlet below the solid spent media inlet, the solid reactive media outlet being connected in fluid communication with or interconnectable to the solid reactive media inlet of the treatment column; and a sensor proximal one of the regeneration fluid inlet and the rinsing fluid outlet, the sensor being adapted to sense a condition of fluid proximal the sensor.
