Abstract: The present invention provides a method of and apparatus 1 for water desalination comprising transferring water vapour from salt-water in a vapourization zone 7, via a water vapour transfer zone 12, to a condensation zone 11, and condensing said water vapour into fresh-water. The water vapour transfer zone 12 is maintained substantially free of any gas other than water vapour. Heat is supplied to the vapourization zone 7 and extracted from the condensation zone 11, at relative rates such that there is a net transfer of water from the vapourization zone to the condensation zone. The invention also provides a method of and apparatus for degassing salt water using at least two degassing chambers 17A, 17B each provided with a valved vent 47 and a valved inlet 21,29,90,91, with a valved pipe circuit 17a, 72-82,85-87, having a pump 71. The pump and valved circuit transfer water from one chamber 17A to another 17B so as to reduce the pressure in the one chamber 17A inducing the release of dissolved gas, and expelling gas above the water out of the other chamber 17B. The direction of water transfer is then reversed so as to release dissolved gas in the other chamber 17B and expel gas in the one chamber 17A.

Abstract: A portable water filtration device includes a liquid-tight filter container and a filtration device mounted in the liquid-tight container. The filtration device includes an inlet opening extending through one of the walls and a first filtration device in liquid transfer connection with the inlet opening operative to receive and filter liquid flowing therethrough. A second filtration device is operative to receive liquid from the first filtration device and further filter the liquid flowing therethrough. The first and second filtration devices are selected from the group including ultraviolet, activated carbon and reverse osmosis filters, and an outlet opening extending through one of the walls then receives the treated water and releases the water from the filtration device. Finally, the liquid-tight filter container is operative to prevent liquid from entering the interior volume thereof thereby preventing contamination of the filtration device from accidental incursion of contaminants.

Abstract: A continuous method for the treatment of a spent aqueous caustic stream used to scrub a hydrocarbon process stream to remove oxidizable sulfur-containing compounds includes: a. mixing an oxidizing hypochlorous acid stream produced from an aqueous brine solution with the aqueous caustic stream to form a reactive mixed feedstream; b. contacting the reactive mixed feedstream with at least one catalyst to promote the oxidation of the sulfur-containing compounds and the neutralization of the sodium hydroxide; and c. recovering a neutral treated product stream comprising aqueous sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate and sodium chloride that is odorless, non-toxic and environmentally acceptable for discharge into the sea or into a conventional sewage treatment system. Preferably, the hypochlorous acid is produced by an electrolyzer that also produces a (1) hydrogen stream that is directed to a PEM fuel cell to generate at least a portion of the electrical power requirement of the electrolyzer, and (2) water that is combined with fresh sodium hydroxide from the electrolyzer to form a fresh caustic stream for use in scrubbing the hydrocarbon process stream.
