    Abstract: An ozone water control valve may include a first water outlet head, a first connector, and a rotary knob. The first water outlet head has a water chamber axially penetrating through the first water outlet head, and a lateral hole is formed at the lateral side of the first water outlet head to communicate with the water chamber. The first connector comprises an annular base, a rotary control section, and a connecting section, and the connecting section is connected to an ozone device. The ozone device is connected to the first water outlet head through the first connector and the lateral hole, and with the rotary knob, the water control valve can be switched between the ozone water and tap water quickly and accurately, so as to greatly improve the convenience of use.

    Abstract: An apparatus for filtering, mineralizing and hydrogenating drinking water has a supply of a mineral or supplement, a housing having an inlet adapted to allow tap water to enter an interior of the housing and an outlet adapted to allow drinking water to exit the housing, a filter positioned in the housing, a manifold positioned in the housing and connected to the supply of mineral or supplement and to the filter, and an ionization chamber connected to an outlet of the manifold so as to receive the mixture of the filtered water and the mineral or supplement. The filter is adapted to filter contaminants from the tap water so as to produce a filtered water therefrom. The manifold is adapted to mix the filtered water with the mineral or supplement. The ionization chamber is adapted to ionize the mixture so as to produce a hydrogenated water therefrom.

    Abstract: As an example embodiment, a system may detect water flow in a well water system and may responsively trigger a pump to inject a chlorinating substance into untreated water from the well. Further, the system may include a contact reservoir that allows the water and the chlorinating substance to combine. In this way, the chlorinating substance is drawn only when needed, but is given the opportunity to achieve time in solution with the untreated water. As a result, bacteria in untreated water may be dispatched, while other organic substances in the untreated water are given the opportunity to settle to the bottom of the contact reservoir. A static mixer may be used to mix the chlorinating substance and the untreated water prior to entering the contact reservoir and/or while in the contact reservoir.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses configured to separate waste solids material from a supercritical wastewater feed may separate waste solids material from supercritical reactor effluent in a first region such that the waste solids material collects in a second region fluidically interposed between a first valve in an open state and a second valve in a closed state, the first valve being fluidically interposed between the first region and the second region. In addition, the first and second valves may be toggled between open and closed states according to a defined duty cycle such that the waste solids material is caused, at least in part, to be discharged from the second region via the second valve in response to the first valve being in a closed state and the second valve being in an open state.

    Abstract: A system for solids removal is provided that includes a vessel having an upper end, a lower end opposite the upper end, an outer wall defining an interior space of the vessel and extending from the lower end to the upper end. The vessel further includes a bottom connected to the outer wall adjacent the lower end. The vessel includes an underflow weir, a solids collection weir, and a weir bottom connected to the underflow weir and the solids collection weir. The vessel further includes an overflow weir positioned in the interior space and connected to the vessel adjacent the lower end of the vessel and extending a distance to an upper end of the overflow weir located adjacent the upper end of the vessel, the overflow weir located between the underflow weir and the outlet.

    Abstract: A solution for irradiating a flowing fluid through a channel with ultraviolet radiation is provided. Ultraviolet radiation sources can be located within the channel in order to direct ultraviolet radiation towards the flowing fluid and/or the interior of the channel. A valve can be located adjacent to the channel to control the flow rate of the fluid. A control system can control and adjust the ultraviolet radiation based on the flow rate of the fluid and a user input component can receive a user input for the control system to adjust the ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet radiation sources, the control system, the user input component, and any other components that require electricity can receive power from a rechargeable power supply. An electrical generator located within the channel can convert energy from the fluid flowing through the channel into electricity for charging the rechargeable power supply.
