Abstract
Apparatus for treating an aqueous medium with a treatment fluid including a housing forming a treatment chamber, a rotatable rotor arranged in the treatment chamber, and including a number of rotor rings carried by the rotatable rotor and coaxially arranged at the periphery of the rotatable rotor, a number of stationary stator rings coaxially inserted between the rotor rings thus forming a number of annular axial treatment slots which have a radial size between the rotor rings and the stationary stator rings, the radial size of these slots increasing with increasing distance from the axis of the rotatable rotor, an inlet for delivering the working medium and the treatment fluid to one side of the annular axial treatment slots and an outlet for the treated working media disposed at the other side of the annular axial treatment slots, whereby the working medium is sheared in the treatment slots during operation so that substantially homogeneous shearing velocities are achieved in each of these slots.
