FIELD: process and equipment for producing of bottled oxygen-saturated potable water.
SUBSTANCE: method involves providing sequential ejection and pressure-flotation mixing of oxygen-containing gas with water; bottling and capping bottles filled with oxygen-saturated water; providing ejection-mixing in liquid-and-gas jet unit by saturating water with oxygen released from air through semi-permeable surface of narrow part of its mixing chamber; cooling water in flotation column through creation of low pressure by means of liquid-and-gas unit; feeding basic water into upper part of flotation column; withdrawing oxygen-saturated water from lower part. Complex for preparing of bottled oxygen-saturated potable water has ejection-flotation system for saturation of water with oxygen, consisting of ejector and flotation chamber, system for producing of oxygen-containing gas mixture, and system for feeding and bottling of oxygen-saturated water. The latter system has auxiliary pump, ejector, oxygen-saturated water bottling units and bottle capping units. Ejectors for systems designed for oxygen saturation of water, feeding and bottling of oxygen-saturated water are formed as liquid-and-gas units. Narrow part of mixing chamber is fabricated from semi-permeable material. Pressure chamber with helical channels is positioned around narrow part of mixing chamber. Ejector chamber for creating low pressure is connected through pipeline with upper part of pressure column. Basic water feeding pipe is connected to upper part of flotation chamber while pipe for discharging of oxygen-saturated water into bottles is connected to its lower part. Oxygen-containing gas mixture production system comprises ceramic, absorption and membrane-type filters arranged in succession and designed for removal of liquid, viscous and solid particles from air and for preliminary enrichment of air with oxygen.
EFFECT: reduced consumption of power and materials for preparing of oxygen-containing vapor-and-gas mixture and for saturation process, useful management of process, and also provision for producing of high-quality stable product and elimination of alkali vapor contaminants from oxygen-containing vapor-and-gas mixture.
