Patent ID: 8136798

Claim:
A fluid conditioning apparatus to selectably condition a fluid disposed within a vessel, wherein said fluid conditioning apparatus is in closed loop fluid communication with the vessel, said fluid conditioning apparatus comprising: (a) a closed loop fluid duct including a conditioning portion, a contamination portion, a monitoring portion, an inlet portion, and an outlet portion to define a fluid duct interior, said inlet portion is in closed fluid communication with an outlet portion of the vessel, and said outlet portion is in closed fluid communication with an inlet portion of the vessel to define a self contained closed loop system; (b) a source of a selected liquid; (c) a compressor for producing a pneumatic energy source resulting in a selected gas pressure and flow; (d) an injector adjacent to said conditioning portion, said injector in fluid communication with said source of the selected liquid and said compressor for producing a selected gas pressure and flow; (e) a means for moving the fluid that is disposed within said duct; (f) a means for monitoring the fluid that is in fluid communication with said duct inlet portion to operationally monitor the fluid disposed within the vessel; and (g) a control for adjusting the selected liquid desired atomization rate and pulsation cycles in conjunction with determining an allowable inlet condition of the fluid from said duct inlet portion as determined by helping to achieve the selected condition of the fluid, wherein operationally to determine if the fluid disposed within the vessel needs further conditioning via recycling in the self contained closed loop system or the fluid is sufficiently conditioned to be released to the external outside environment.
