Patent ID: 6932912

Claim:
A method for treating sewage effluent, comprising: receiving within a mixing/storage tank sewage effluent from a source; pumping sewage effluent from the mixing/storage tank through a recirculation pipe receiving the sewage effluent discharge of the pump and having a discharge opening within the mixing/storage tank; pumping sewage effluent through a venturi chamber in communication with the recirculation pipe and developing a suction drawing chlorine from a chlorine supply canister into the venturi chamber and into the recirculation pipe; discharging sewage and chlorine from the recirculation pipe into the mixing/storage tank at a velocity creating turbulence and sewage effluent and chlorine mixing within the mixing/storage tank; and selectively causing flow of mixed sewage effluent and chlorine from the recirculation pipe to an effluent discharge pipe in connection with the recirculation pipe by opening a normally closed valve of the effluent discharge pipe and permitting pump induced flow of mixed sewage effluent and chlorine to a treated sewage effluent disposal system.
