Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus (100) for sub-surface injection of constituents of a slurry, wet mixture, and or gas in a phase of entrainment for controlled flow. The apparatus (100) includes a rotary union (113), a drilling assembly (403), hollow shaft injection drilling arrays (1003A), limit switches (1705, 1707, 1709), and encoders (1605B). The rotary union (113) facilitates the filling of the constituent in hollow shaft drilling bits (129) during a drilling process or before the drilling process via an opening and closing of a plurality of valves (111, 215, 505B, 805B, and 1107B). The constituents are capable of being injected through the rotary union, wherein the rotary union (113) is in concert with the valve (111) to dispense predefined quantities of constituents at a specific depth in a sequence of dispersal. The drilling assembly (403) is directed by a GPS (1413C) to control an X plane and Y-plane injection coordinates. The drilling assembly (403) determines through a PLC (1405C), a computer (1411C), and an AI robot (1505) in concert with achieved depths of the Z (cubic) volume of injected material. The hollow shaft injection drilling arrays (1003A) provide the sequential dispe…
