Patent ID: 6881588

Claim:
A fluid treatment device for mixing a first fluid and a second fluid, the device comprising a container having an interior region in which a quantity of the first fluid is situated, a pressure source operable to pressurize the interior region of the container, a fluid source from which the second fluid flows, a first conduit arranged to deliver the second fluid from the fluid source into the interior region of the container, and a second conduit arranged to deliver a mixture of the first and second fluids from the interior region of the container to a location outside the container, an end of the first conduit being aligned with an end of the second conduit, the first and second conduits having substantially equivalent outside diameters, the fluid source being operable to move the second fluid through the second conduit, the first fluid being moved between the ends of the first and second conduits to mix with the second fluid as a result of the interior region of the container being pressurized by the pressure source, and the mixture of the first and second fluids being moved out of the interior region through the second conduit as a result of the interior region of the container being pressurized by the pressure source.
