    Abstract: A mixing apparatus is disclosed for ponds and other shallow bodies of water. The apparatus uses air flow to entrain and move large volumes of water up and through the mixer. This movement of water creates a mixing of water from different depths within the body of water, and thus prevents, eliminates, or reduces stagnation of the water. The air flow is driven by one or more blowers, which may be mounted on the apparatus. The air from the blower is injected into the water about one to two feet below the surface. The air is injected through a series of relatively large holes positioned on opposed sides of tubing. The injected air creates water flow in sufficiently large volumes to mix the water within a shallow body of water of moderate size.

    Abstract: A method for treating wastewater, comprising: (i) injecting a hydrate-forming gas (e.g., propane) into the wastewater under conditions of elevated pressure and reduced temperature to form a solid hydrate composed of the hydrate-forming gas and water from the wastewater; and (ii) separating the solid hydrate from the wastewater to result in removal of water from the wastewater, thereby resulting in partially dewatered wastewater, and optionally, (iii) lowering the pressure and/or raising the temperature of the solid hydrate to decompose the solid hydrate into reformed hydrate-forming gas and reformed water, and further optionally, recycling the reformed hydrate-forming gas for use in step (i) and/or capturing the reformed water from step (iii) and further decontaminating until suitable for release into waterway or for use in a process. The invention is also directed to an apparatus for practicing the method described above.
