Abstract:
Devices are provided for ventilating and/or removing volatile chemicals from liquid (e.g. water) stored in a liquid-containing storage tank (e.g. water-storage tank). The devices include a first fluid flow path that is physically isolated from a second fluid flow path and a convection device for moving a first fluid along the first fluid flow path toward at a desired destination and for exhausting the first fluid at the desired destination at a desired velocity. Methods are also provided for ventilating and/or removing volatile chemicals from liquid (e.g. water) stored in liquid-containing storage tanks (e.g. water-storage tanks). The methods involve blowing a first fluid through a ventilation device into a liquid-containing storage device at a velocity sufficient to achieve a desired mass transfer rate of volatile chemicals from the liquid in the liquid-containing storage device to air in the headspace and flowing the contaminated air back through the ventilation device.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the ventilation device comprises:\n a first conduit comprising a top end and a bottom end, and the first fluid flow path extends through the first conduit from the top end to the bottom end to move outside air into the liquid-containing storage tank; a second conduit comprising a top end and a bottom end, and the second fluid flow path extends through the second conduit from the bottom end to the top end to move volatile chemicals away from the liquid-containing storage tank, wherein the first and second conduits are coaxial and concentrically configured such that the second conduit is formed around the first conduit and positioned between the top end and bottom end of the first conduit; a top divider positioned below the top end of the first conduit and above the top end of the second conduit; and a bottom divider positioned above the bottom end of the first conduit and below the bottom end of the second conduit.
