Abstract:
An inline chlorinator with a housing having an inlet end and an outlet end in communication with the swimming pool bringing water from the pool through the inlet end and back to the pool from the outlet end and an upper compartment having an electronics section is provided. It includes a power source coupling and an at least one sensor sensing changes in the power source coupling. A controller unit contained within the electronics section, the controller unit being electrically coupled to a power source and an at least one electrolytic plate. An at least one hours of operation counter is provided. A heat sink member is also provided and is in thermal communication with the controller, where the flow of the water in the swimming pool water purification system cools the heat sink member, controller unit, and the electronics in the electronics section. Where the heat sink is separated from the water coming in the inlet end by a separation section, the separation section being a concurrent wall of the electronics compartment and the separation section in direct contact with the water coming from the pool at the inlet end, the separation section being in direct contact with the heat sink and both the heat sink and the separation section being continually cooled by the water flowing in through the inlet end of the housing.
Abstract:
Provided is a submerged-type, electrosorption-based desalination apparatus for water purification and method, comprising applying a DC voltage of 0.1 to 2.0 volts to a carbon electrode of the reactor to thereby adsorb inorganic ions on the carbon electrode, and reversely applying the same DC voltage having opposite polarity to recycle regeneration solution to the outside of the apparatus or into the treatment tank, thereby enhancing a recovery rate. In addition, in order to improve desalination efficiency, the reactor used in the desalination apparatus may be embodied in various forms of T-shaped, linear type, single, composite, and ion exchange membrane electrodes. Therefore, the present invention may be applied to remove inorganic ions from industrial wastewater, sea water, and brackish water, which contain large amounts of inorganic ions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for purifying water whereby: the water to be purified is pressurized; a pressurized flow of said water is directed onto at least one selective permeability membrane to divide (11) the flow of pressurized water into a permeate flow and a retentate flow; the permeate flow is electrodeionized (12) to produce a flow of purified water consisting of the electrodeionized permeate flow; the flowrate of the retentate flow (19) is reduced; a substantially constant predetermined pressure (21) is maintained on the selective permeability membrane(s); and a substantially constant predetermined permeate flowrate is maintained and also relates to a suitable tangential filtration module system.
Abstract:
A wastewater treatment system and method comprises a treatment chamber having a filtration membrane spanning an effluent outlet of the chamber and a pair of electrodes in the treatment chamber so as to be in communication with the wastewater. An electrical potential difference is applied between the electrodes such that one of the electrodes functions as an anode and one of the electrodes functions as a cathode. A flow of fluid is induced out of the treatment chamber through the filtration membrane to the effluent outlet. Accordingly the treatment chamber is arranged to biologically treat the wastewater, electrochemically treat the wastewater and mechanically filter the wastewater through the filtration membrane commonly therein.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a system for chlorinating water by electrolysis and/or light projection for pool operating with mechanical energy of the delivery nozzle. The invention concerns a system for chlorinating water by electrolysis and illumination of pools provided with a water circulating system. The system is easily set on the entire pool without affecting its sealed character and uses a free and safe source of energy, the motive power of the water from the delivery nozzle, the device consisting of a hollow single-unit assembly (1), connected to the delivery nozzle, allowing the water flow to circulate in controlled manner actuating a device with rotational movement (8) connected to a current generator (9) which powers, with variable intensity, alternately or jointly, the sealed light projector (11) and/or the electrolytic cell (12) before exiting into the pool. The inventive device is particularly designed to illuminate and/or chlorinate water of swimming pools.
Abstract:
Flow-through capacitors are provided with one or more charge barrier layers. Ions trapped in the pore volume of flow-through capacitors cause inefficiencies as these ions are expelled during the charge cycle into the purification path. A charge barrier layer holds these pore volume ions to one side of a desired flow stream, thereby increasing the efficiency with which the flow-through capacitor purifies or concentrates ions.
