Abstract:
A water treatment system includes a water mixing unit adapted to promote water turbulence, an input line having an upstream end adapted to be in fluid communication with a body of water to be treated, and a downstream end in fluid communication with the water mixing unit. The system includes an ozone injector adapted to be connected in fluid communication with an ozone gas generation system. A branching line is in fluid communication with the input line and the ozone injector and an ozone supply line is in fluid communication with the ozone injector and the input line. A bypass control valve is in fluid communication with the ozone supply line and the water input line and is adapted to be selectively switched between an open position and a closed position, wherein water is prevented from flowing through the branching line and the ozone supply line when the bypass control valve is in the closed position.
Abstract:
A dissolved ozone delivery system comprises a generator for producing gaseous ozone, a bottle for holding a liquid suitable for receiving the gaseous ozone, flow conduits for delivering the gaseous ozone to the bottle and dissolving the ozone into the liquid to form an ozonated liquid, and a multicomponent bottle closure sealing device. The multicomponent bottle closure sealing has several discrete gas flow passageways for channeling the ozone gas into the bottle, venting undissolved gas and delivering the ozonated liquid to an exterior surface for decontamination thereof or medical instruments for sterilization or use in medical or dental procedures.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a method and apparatus for sanitizing treated water of an unsatisfactory quality so as to produce sanitized water which is potable and of a satisfactory quality. The method comprises the steps of filtering, irradiating, and, ozonating the treated water so as to sanitize the treated water in a water sanitization assembly. The sanitized water is then stored in a sanitized water tank. Upon demand by a user, a pump is activated to pump the sanitized water out of the sanitized water tank and through a carbon filter to a dispensing outlet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treatment of a sulphide-containing spent caustic via chemical conversion of the sulphides, wherein the method is comprised of the following steps: introducing the spent caustic into a reaction chamber (18) that is comprised of at least one acoustic power converter (22) and one cavitation element (20), treating the spent caustic with ultrasound from the at least one acoustic power converter (22), feeding a gas mixture containing ozone into the reaction chamber and distributing the gas mixture containing ozone in the spent caustic using the cavitation element (20), wherein the sulphide-containing spent caustic is converted with the gas mixture containing ozone, forming non-sulphide-bearing, inorganic sulphur compounds.
Abstract:
An ozone purification system for wastewater comprising an ozone diffusion reactor installable in or in fluid communication with wastewater collection tanks of septic or other wastewater systems. The reactor includes a pump that circulates wastewater through a gas-liquid mixing device, a contact volume, and a static mixer. The contact volume comprises an elongate length of contact piping and the static mixing chamber is configured to impart turbulence into the flow of the circulated wastewater and ozone gas.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of sanitizing drinking water to be dispensed from a water dispenser having a reservoir includes the steps of providing the ozone gas generator that generates an ozone gas stream, transmitting the ozone gas stream from the generator to the water dispenser reservoir, mechanically breaking up the ozone gas stream inside the reservoir to produce ozone gas bubbles, and using the ozone gas bubbles to disinfect water in the reservoir. The ozone gas stream can be mechanically broken up using a pump such as, for example, an impeller type pump.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an ozonization apparatus which is not only capable of dissolving ozone in material water with high efficiency and speedily but also enables the easy and proper control of the dissolved ozone concentration of ozone water.The present invention relates to an ozonization apparatus comprising an ozone gas-permeable membrane disposed to isolate material water and ozone gas from each other and allow said ozone gas to be dissolved in said material water by permeation, said ozone gas-permeable membrane being a nonporous hollow tube which is selectively gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable.
Abstract:
A water purification system for a swimming pool, pond, aquatic mammal tank, spa or fountain, which is simple to operate, low in maintenance, and highly reliable. The system takes advantage of synergistic benefits derived from the combination of ozonation and electrolytic chlorination in the same system. Combining both of the technologies of Ozonation and Electrolysis allows as in-site production of at least one of chlorine dioxide that is used as a disinfectant agent for treating water reservoirs.
Abstract:
A portable battery-powered ozone generator, or ozonator, contained in a waterproof housing with an air intake and an ozone discharge conduit diffuses ozone directly into a body of water in a pool, pond or tank. The ozone generator and housing can be part of (1) a buoyant floating platform that is also equipped with solar power collector panels to provide a recharging current for the battery; (2) a robotic, self-propelled pool cleaner; or (3) a skimmer filter assembly that can include a solar panel under a solar transmissive cover that is flush mounted in the walk area alongside the pool.
