An improved lime slaker in which the lime is combined with the slaking liquor in a vertical conduit (18) which extends below the level of the liquor in the slaker vessel (10). The slaking liquor is introduced into the conduit at a high velocity tangential (26) to the interior surface of the conduit to flush the lime into the vessel. The slaker includes a vertical vent pipe (28) that extends through the bottom (14) of the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the inlet of the vent pipe is surrounded by an entrainment separator (32). Removable covers (24, 36) permit convenient access for inspection and cleaning of the conduit and the vent pipe. |
