Abstract: An ultraviolet radiation water treatment device for a water cooler machine having an ultraviolet lamp housed inside a transparent inner sleeve which is itself disposed inside an outer transparent sleeve. The upper ends of the two sleeves are housed in a short pipe having a peripheral flange which abuts the sides of the cooler's water tank. A water inlet tube enters the top of the tank and passes between the two sleeves to feed water proximate the tank bottom to circulate the influent water up between the two sleeves and down outside the outer sleeve into the reservoir water to accomplish three exposure passes to the bactericidal ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: A new method for design and scale-up of thermocatalytic processes is disclosed. The method is based on optimizing process energetics by decoupling of the process energetics from the DRE for target contaminants. The technique is applicable to high temperature thermocatalytic reactor design and scale-up. The method is based on the implementation of polymeric and other low-pressure drop support for thermocatalytic media as well as the multifunctional catalytic media in conjunction with a novel rotating fluidized particle bed reactor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-element filtering system assuring serial filtration of a liquid through multiple filter cartridges while enabling flushing without requiring removal of the filter cartridges. Both conventional and reverse osmosis filtration is performed, sequentially, within the system. The filter cartridges are held within a canister which is pressed against the cap and constrained against rotation with the cap. The canister is divided into chambers, and has passages in its floor arranged to enable serial transfer of liquid from one chamber to the next. Flushing employs liquid introduced under normal pressure. Passages leading to the flush liquid outlet enable flushing to proceed when the flush liquid outlet is opened. At other times, filtered liquid will pass through passages leading to the filtered liquid outlet. Liquid is circulated to assure filtration even when flushing, so that contamination of filtered liquid is precluded.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种多元件过滤系统，其确保通过多个过滤器筒进行液体的串联过滤，同时能够进行冲洗而不需要移除过滤器滤芯。 在系统内依次进行常规和反渗透过滤。 过滤器滤芯保持在罐内，该罐被压靠在盖上并且被限制为与盖旋转。 罐被分成室，并且在其地板中具有通道，其布置成能够将液体从一个室连续转移到下一个室。 冲洗采用在常压下引入的液体。 通向冲洗液体出口的通道可在冲洗液出口打开时进行冲洗。 在其他时间，过滤的液体将通过通向过滤的液体出口的通道。 循环液体以确保过滤，即使冲洗，从而排除过滤液体的污染。

Abstract: An ozone-based water purification system is disclosed. In this system, a mixing venturi injects ozone and a liquid sanitizer into a stream of water to be treated. Following ozone and sanitizer injection, the stream of water is passed to a contact region where the ozone and sanitizer are allowed to react with contaminants and biota. The stream is then mixed by several mixing devices to allow residual ozone and sanitizer to further react with contaminants and the biota. Particularly, a counterflow system is employed wherein the stream is directed downward at several points so that bubbles containing ozone are forced to flow upward against the flow, lengthening ozone contact time. Also, the ultraviolet lamp used to generate ozone is mounted so that ultraviolet light therefrom is exposed to the flow of water, providing additional sterilizing effects. In addition, a novel mixing venturi is disclosed that mixes a gas containing ozone and a liquid sanitizer into a motive flow of water.

Abstract: A system of deactivating microorganisms in water involves illuminating the microorganisms using at least one short-duration, high-intensity pulse of broad-spectrum polychromatic light. The system includes a watertight housing having an inlet port and an outlet port for the flow water. A tubular light source for deactivating microorganisms and a tubular baffle for directing the water flow are positioned within the watertight housing. Waters enters the inlet port and flows between the watertight housing and the tubular baffle in one direction, around the end of the tubular baffle and back through the center of the tubular baffle in a second direction exiting the outlet port. In one embodiment, the inlet and outlet ports are positioned at the same end of the watertight housing. In a another embodiment, the inlet port is at the end of the watertight housing and the outlet port extends radially from the tubular baffle through the side of the watertight housing. Additionally, a removable recirculating hose may be connected from the inlet port to the outlet port for recirculating the water. A quartz jacket filled with a cooling material may be used around the tubular light source to provide cooling to the light source and spectral filtering of the light emitted from the light source. The inner surface of the baffle may be reflectorized to reflect light from the light source.

Abstract: A water purification system utilizes a radial filter and an ultraviolet lamp in a small, portable, countertop housing. A standpipe is positioned between the filter and the ultraviolet lamp to control the flow of water so that it flows along substantially the entire length of the UV lamp. The lamp is made integral with a quartz-tube covering and a threaded cap and connector to enable replacement of the UV lamp assembly. The housing encompassing the filter system is also easily disassembled to enable cleaning of the housing and replacement of the filter. A pressure vent is provided in the housing cover to equalize pressure and provide for a water level differential when the filter is disabled. A UV lamp indicator is included to show that the lamp is in operation.

Abstract: An ultraviolet sterilizer assembly for use in fish tanks having a vertically oriented tubular housing that forms a sterilizer chamber therein. A top cap and a bottom cap close the respective open ends of the tubular housing. A vertically oriented elongated ultraviolet lamp is positioned in the sterilizer chamber of the tubular housing. A pair of inner tubular members extend substantially the length of the tubular housing and they are mounted in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp. The bottom ends of the inner tubular members are joined by a tubular connector. The top cap has manifold housing portion having an inlet passageway connected to the top end of one of the inner tubular members and an outlet passageway connected to the top end of the other tubular member. An inlet port and an exhaust port allows the respective passageways to be connected to an outside source of water that is to be sterilized by passing it downwardly through one of the inner tubular members in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp and then upwardly through the other inner tubular member in close proximity to the ultraviolet lamp to irradiate or kill small organisms and sanitize the water. A support bracket assembly allows the ultraviolet sterilizer assembly to be supported on the outside of the wall of a fish tank.

Abstract: A system for reducing biological organisms in a liquid effluent to no-viable organic molecules that includes: a stunning chamber (38) that applies a voltage potential across biological organisms to break cell membranes and disable the defense mechanisms of viral organisms to ultraviolet radiation; a cavitation chamber (86) to physically destroy any remaining membranes of biologicals in the effluent that may play host to viral organisms or allow such to hide therein, the action of the stunning and cavitation chambers releasing interferons; and a molecularly implanted stimulated emitter (MISE) chamber (108) in which high levels of ultraviolet radiation and electromagnetic energy are applied to virions and spores that remain at frequencies that are readily absorbed and operate to dissociate any viable DNA and RNA strands remaining, to thereby cause "death". The resulting effluent is pulsed through the stunning, cavitation, and MISE chambers to gain maximum effect thereof.
