1. A system for treatment of a fluid with a treatment additive, the system comprising:
a reactor having a first inlet for receipt of an amount of the fluid, at least one second inlet for receipt of an amount of
the treatment additive, and an outlet for release of an amount of treated fluid therefrom;
a controller operably connected to the reactor at the first inlet, the at least one second inlet, and the outlet, the controller
capable of controlling and monitoring the amount of fluid entering the reactor and the amount of treatment additive entering
the reactor, and capable of controlling and measuring the amount of treatment additive present in the treated fluid released
from the reactor, wherein the controller comprises a means for storing parametric data representative of at least one parameter
and of desired range(s) for each of the at least one parameters;
a first valve for control of the amount of treated fluid flowing through the outlet of the reactor, the first valve operably
connected to outlet of the reactor and the controller, and the controller capable of controlling the first valve, and wherein
at least one of the at least one parameters comprises the amount of treated fluid flowing through the outlet of the reactor;
and
a monitoring device for monitoring a value related to one of the at least one parameters and a controlled device capable of
affecting the value related to one of the at least one parameters, the monitoring device and the controlled device operably
connected to the controller, wherein the controller is operable to determine a calculated value from the monitored value,
to compare the calculated value to the desired range of the related one of the at least one parameters, and if the calculated
value is outside the desired range of the related one of the at least one parameters, adjusting the controlled device.
