<p>An improved mixing reservoir (124) is disclosed for use for supplying particles suspended in a liquid, in the form of a slurry, for delivery and recirculation within a recirculating system. The mixing reservoir includes an outlet port at its lowest point connected to a recirculation pump. The pump is arranged to draw the slurry from the mixing chamber and to cause a stream of the slurry to flow through the recirculating system. The improved mixing reservoir includes a plurality of inlet ports (128, 129) located on the mixing reservoir. Each inlet port (128, 129) is connected to the recirculating system (54, 155, 156) and the stream of slurry, whereby the particles contained in the slurry are retained in suspension by the resulting chaotic motion of the colliding streams (130) of slurry as they are returned to the mixing reservoir.</p> |
