Abstract:
A liquid concentrator system includes a concentrator section having a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a mixing corridor disposed between the gas inlet and the gas outlet. A liquid inlet is disposed in the mixing corridor between the gas inlet and a narrowed portion. A demister is disposed downstream of the concentrator section. The demister includes a liquid collector to remove liquid from gas flowing through the demister, and a reservoir that collects the removed liquid. A re-circulating circuit is disposed between reservoir and the mixing corridor to transport liquid within the reservoir to the mixing corridor, and a secondary re-circulating circuit includes a settling tank to separate saturated liquid and suspended solids. A custom brine mixing device is operatively coupled to the settling tank.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid concentrator system, comprising:\n a concentrator section including;\n a gas inlet, \n a gas outlet, \n a mixing corridor disposed between the gas inlet and the gas outlet, the mixing corridor having a narrowed portion in which gas flow within the mixing corridor accelerates when traveling from the gas inlet to the gas outlet; \n a liquid inlet through which liquid to be concentrated is injected into the mixing corridor, the liquid inlet disposed in the mixing corridor between the gas inlet and the narrowed portion; \n a demister disposed downstream of the concentrator section, the demister including a demister gas flow passage coupled to the gas outlet of the concentrator section, a liquid collector disposed in the demister gas flow passage to remove liquid from gas flowing in the demister gas flow passage, and a reservoir that collects the liquid removed from the gas flowing in the demister gas flow passage by the liquid collector; \n a re-circulating circuit disposed between reservoir and the mixing corridor to transport liquid within the reservoir to the mixing corridor; and \n a secondary re-circulating circuit including a settling tank to separate saturated liquid and suspended solids; and \n a custom brine mixing device operatively coupled to the settling tank.
