Abstract:
The present invention is a device and method for ozonating water and applying the ozonated water to surfaces for cleaning purposes. The instant invention allows a user to transform water into a liquid with more robust cleaning properties conveniently and in a short time. The present invention includes a cleaning apparatus having a reservoir (64) containing water, the reservoir able to be easily manipulated by a user to dispense the water, and a circulation flow path communicating with the reservoir and the device to allow at least some of the water in the reservoir to flow from the reservoir to the device and back to the reservoir.
Abstract:
An apparatus (1) and a method for purifying water make use of an ozone reaction chamber (11) for pre-treatment of the water with ozone (O) followed by an activated carbon filter (51) for pre-treatment of the water prior to filtration with a submicron membrane filter (55). In a second embodiment, the raw water to be treated is first passed through a first active carbon filter (6), ozone-treated and passed through a second active carbon filter (51). The water treated in this manner is then filtered in the submicron membrane filter.
Abstract:
There is provided a regional water purifier in which blue green algae are collected continuously by using a water flow produced by the operation of a water flow generator, and processed to be made inactive continuously and efficiently by irradiating ultrasonic waves thereon, by which regional water purification is performed efficiently at a far lower cost than the conventional method through the blue green algae processing. The purifier comprises a blue green algae processing duct 2, which is disposed under water in regional waters where blue green algae breed in large quantities, and has an ultrasonic wave transmitter 3 therein for transmitting ultrasonic waves to process the blue green algae with the ultrasonic waves, and both ends of which are open, and a water flow generator 4, which produces a suction flow for sucking water containing blue green algae into the blue green algae processing duct 2 from one end 2a and a discharge flow for discharging the water from the other end 2b.
Abstract:
An enclosure 12) supports a water carrying tube (16) through which a flow of water to be sanitized passes. Water carrying tube (16) may be supported at each end by Venturis (24, 26) mounted in ends of a housing (12). One or more ultraviolet lamps (14) extend along tube (16). Air tubes (62a, 62b, 72) are connected to Venturi suction ports (30) or an external use (Fig. 7) and have openings (64) therealong are oriented very close to the ultraviolet lamps (14), with openings (64) facing the ultraviolet tubes (14) in order to draw ozonated air directly from near the surface of the ultraviolet lamps (14). Ultraviolet lamps (14) may be pulsed with high power pulses of a frequency and duration determined by an air flow rate through the air tubes (62a, 62b, 72) in order to maximize ozone production. An external Venturi suction port may also be provided.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods are described that control and manage water collection and treatment. One or more sensors monitor and measure levels of contaminants, other chemicals and or environmental conditions in a well of a tank, well and/or collection station and/or in inflow and/or outflow mains. An additive that can include one or more of ozone, oxygen, a bioagent, bleach, peroxide and other chemicals, and selected to treat chemicals and/or contaminants in water, can be mixed with water in the well and the main. An infusion assembly deployed within the tank is adapted to mix the water and additive into a body of water in the well. A processor configured to control the rate at which the additive is provided to the infusion assembly or force main based on measurements of contaminants received from the first and second sensors.

Abstract:
A system for mixing a gas in a fluid including an inlet section in fluid communication with a fluid source and a gas source, a nozzle, and a flow reverser. The inlet section has a throughbore in which the fluid and the gas combine to form a treated fluid. The nozzle receives the treated fluid from the inlet section and accelerates the treated fluid. The flow reverser has an open end in fluid communication with the nozzle and a closed end. The nozzle is oriented relative to the flow reverser to direct the treated fluid toward the closed end of the flow reverser. The flow reverser receives the treated fluid from the nozzle and mixes the treated fluid.
Abstract:
A swimming pool skimmer (200) for mounting in a side wall of a swimming pool comprises a body (204) formed with a water intake opening (206) for receiving a filter (208) and a cover (202). The cover has an upper surface (222) fitted with a solar power collector panel (220), a lower surface with an electrical ozone generator (120) and a rechargeable battery (72) in electrical connection with the solar panel (220), an air intake conduit (124), an ozone conduit (130) in fluid communication with the ozone generator (120), having a discharge outlet (126) extending from the swimming pool skimmer filter (200) and for positioning below the surface of water in the pool.
