Abstract:
A purifying device adapted to perform a method of photochemical elimination of xenobiotics present in water. The purifying device comprises a photochemical reactor unit having at least one inlet for contaminated water and one outlet for purified water, it provides a flow path for continuously flowing water from said inlet to said outlet, and is equipped with a radiation source module providing ultraviolet radiation in a wavelength range ranging from 100 to 280 nm. The purifying device further comprises at least one membrane filtration unit designed to perform ultra filtration and connected upstream of said photochemical reactor unit via said inlet and at least one device for supplying air or dioxygen to the water comprised in the photochemical reactor unit. Further, a purification method is provided, using the device of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fluid treatment system comprising: an inlet; an outlet; and a fluid treatment zone disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The fluid treatment zone has disposed therein: (i) an elongate first radiation source assembly having a first longitudinal axis, and (ii) an elongate second radiation source assembly having a second longitudinal axis. The first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are non-parallel to each other and to a direction of fluid flow through the fluid treatment zone. The present fluid treatment system has a number of advantages including: it can treat large volumes of fluid (e.g., wastewater, drinking water or the like); it requires a relatively small “footprint”; it results in a relatively lower coefficient of drag resulting in an improved hydraulic pressure loss/gradient over the length of the fluid treatment system; and it results in relatively lower (or no) forced oscillation of the radiation sources thereby obviating or mitigating of breakage of the radiation source and/or protective sleeve (if present). Other advantages are discussed in the specification.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for inactivating Desulfovibrio desulfuricans in a fracturing fluid are disclosed. The methods include exposing the fracturing fluid to a dose of from about 4 mJ/cm2 to about 10 mJ/cm2 of polychromatic ultraviolet radiation. The polychromatic ultraviolet radiation includes a plurality of major inactivation wavelength peaks in a range of from about 200 nm to about 400 nm. The system includes an ultraviolet radiation chamber in fluid communication with a fracturing fluid source and a wellbore, and at least one medium pressure ultraviolet lamp arranged substantially within the ultraviolet radiation chamber. The medium pressure ultraviolet lamp exposes the fracturing fluid containing the Desulfovibrio desulfuricans to a dose of from about 4 mJ/cm2 to about 10 mJ/cm2 of polychromatic ultraviolet radiation.
