Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a floating pool water controller for dispensing germicide and antimicrobial material into a swimming pool based upon real time pool conditions. The controller includes the ability to adjust to these ever changing conditions in real time, and, to do so remotely. The controller includes a housing adapted for floating on the pool water. Additionally, a dispenser is provided for dispensing Cu ion into the pool and includes a dispenser assembly connected to the housing. The controller is provided with a controller for adjusting the amount of Cu ion dispensed into the pool water. And, the controller includes a probe extending from the housing into the pool water for sensing pool conditions. Thus, upon sensing the pool conditions in real time, the controller can be adjusted to dispense the proper amount of Cu ion into the pool water.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method of regenerating a capacity of a flow-through capacitor. A target value for a water property concentration in a discharge water stream exiting the flow-through capacitor is established. A feed value for the water property concentration in a feed water stream entering the flow-through capacitor is measured. An amount of the water property concentration to be added to the feed water stream is calculated based on the feed value to achieve the target value for the water property concentration in the discharge water stream. An amperage of the flow-through capacitor and a flow rate through the flow-through capacitor is controlled to add ions to the feed water stream to achieve the target value for the water property concentration in the discharge water stream. In some embodiments, the amperage can be set and the flow rate controlled to achieve the target concentration.
Abstract:
A method of reducing naphthenic acids in a wastewater stream. The method begins by processing the wastewater stream to produce a treated wastewater stream with an electrocoagulation device to induce flocculation of the naphthenic acids. The reduction of the naphthenic acids in the wastewater stream occurs from separating flocculated naphthenic acids to produce the treated wastewater stream.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide a method for cleaning circulation water, which reduces the cost of operation and maintenance as much as possible, without a cumbersome cleaning operation such as by detaching electrode plates from an electrolysis cleaning tank and removing scale from inside the tank, and to provide a device used in this method. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for cleaning circulation water, comprising the steps of flowing circulation water to be cleaned between electrode plates placed in a face-to-face manner between one another; and applying DC voltage between the electrode plates, allowing one or more metal ions contained in the circulation water to be precipitated onto the negative electrode plates by electrolysis, to clean the circulation water, wherein the electrode plates used are made of titanium plates, and wherein a desired amount of current flows, while an anodized oxide coating formed on the surface of the positive electrode plates is compulsively subject to dielectric breakdown by increasing the voltage applied to the anodized oxide coating. FIG. 1 is a representative drawing.
Abstract:
An electronic descaling system to prevent or remove mineral deposits by exposing moving fluids to magnetic and electric fields includes an improved power supply. In particular, the power supply adapts to the varying length, diameter and impedance of attached coil and cable combinations, and still provides the proper current and power levels to effectuate electronic descaling. A constant current D.C. power supply having a regulated D.C. current output level is provided. The substantially constant D.C. current output is then switched in a switching circuit responsive to a switching control signal to provide a bi-directional current through the coil in one direction and then switched to conduct current through the coil in the other direction. The switching frequency of the switching control signal is time variable or constant. The present improved current driver adapts for such varying frequencies while providing a substantially constant D.C. current output level as the frequency of switching control signal varies. The descaling coil provides the proper induced electric and magnetic fields, and the resulting induced electromotive force, for different switching frequencies and for cables with varying lengths and coils with varying diameters.
