Abstract: Water to be treated within a water tank is circulated between the water tank and an electrolysis vessel by means of a circulating pump. In the electrolysis vessel, hypochlorous acid is generated by electrolysis with a pair of electrodes. The generated hypochlorous acid is introduced into the water tank and used for sterilization of the water to be treated. A first three-way valve is controlled to guide the water to be treated within the electrolysis vessel either to the water tank or to a drain. For a prescribed period of time after the polarities of the electrodes constituting the electrode pair are switched to each other, the water to be treated within the electrolysis vessel is guided to the drain to prevent impurities attached to the electrode surface from being introduced into the water tank.

Abstract: The present invention provides a physical water treatment (PWT) method and apparatus to treat liquid coolants. Electrodes (22, 24) are provided in a coolant stream (21), and an alternating voltage is applied across the electrodes (22, 24) to produce an electric field through the coolant. The alternating voltage creates an oscillating electric field in the coolant that promotes the collision of dissolved mineral ions. The ions collide to form seed particles that precipitate out of solution. Bulk precipitation of seed particles decreases the availability of ions in solution which can crystallize on heat transfer surfaces. The seed particles adhere to additional ions that separate out of solution and form larger particles that may be removed from the coolant stream (21) using a variety of treatment measures. In addition to precipitating mineral ions, the electric field may be applied to destroy bacteria, algae and microorganisms that accumulate in the coolant stream (21).

Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种处理液体冷却剂的物理水处理（PWT）方法和设备。 电极（22,24）设置在冷却剂流（21）中，并且跨越电极（22,24）施加交流电压以通过冷却剂产生电场。 交流电压在冷却剂中产生振荡电场，促进溶解的矿物离子的碰撞。 离子碰撞形成沉淀出溶液的种子颗粒。 种子颗粒的大量沉淀会降低溶液中可能会在传热表面上结晶的溶液的可用性。 种子颗粒粘附到分离出溶液的另外的离子，并形成可以使用各种处理措施从冷却剂流（21）中除去的更大的颗粒。 除了沉淀矿物离子之外，还可以施加电场以破坏积聚在冷却剂流（21）中的细菌，藻类和微生物。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for turbulently exposing water flowing through a water system to a plurality of electrodes of an ion generator and having a self-contained tank through which water flows is provided with an inlet pipe that directs water flow between the electrodes. A tank cover serves as a non-electrical conducting head for the plurality of electrodes that extend downwardly from the underside of the cover. The electrodes are functionally configured to maximize water flow between them. Following the flow of water between the electrodes, a double vortex of water flow is created along one wall of the tank. A sight glass allows for visualization of the container contents, and in particular electrode wastage or wear, during operation.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the disinfection of water and wastewater contaminated with bacteria and other microorganisms. The apparatus includes an electrolytic flow cell including electrodes forming a part of flow pipe or open channel through which water or wastewater passes. The electrodes are formed of iron, stainless steel, carbon or copper and connected to a power supply voltage in the range of 20 to 100 volts and establishing a current in the range of 1 to 6 amperes. Disinfection results from either metal ions impacting microbial cells or through the generation of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid. When the electrodes are copper, toxic metal contamination limits are established through proper design of the flow cell. An ultrasonic transducer is connected to the electrodes and enhances hydroxyl radical generation.

Abstract: A waste treatment system permitting treatment of organic wastes at low cost is provided. In the waste treatment system, organic wastes such as sewage, garbage and sludge are introduced into a methane fermentation bath for anaerobic fermentation. The methane gas produced in the bath is refined in a gas holder and then supplied to an electric generator, where the methane gas is used as a raw material for power generation. Digested liquid within the methane fermentation bath is supplied to an electrolytic bath via a flow adjustment bath and a fine screen. In the electrolytic bath, the digested liquid is subjected to electrolysis, by applying potentials to an electrode pair in the electrolytic bath based on the electric power obtained by the electric generator. By the electrolysis, nitrogen components including organic nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen, and BOD, SS and phosphorus components are removed from the digested liquid.

Abstract: A system is provided for removing dissolved metals from industrial wastewater by electrocoagulation. The system includes an electrocoagulation reactor with a DC power supply having an insulation support enclosure with positive and negative electrode plates disposed thereon. The electrode plates are insulated for each other but remain in direct contact with the wastewater as it flows between the electrodes. The DC power supply induces opposite charges on alternate electrodes thereby generating an electric field between adjacent electrodes to cause the electrodes to ionize and go into solution for interaction with the contaminants in the wastewater as it flows through the reactor. The reactor is housed in a pressure vessel container so the exterior pressure on the reactor is higher than its internal pressure preventing leakage of fluids and oxygen and hydrogen gases produced in the reactor by decomposition of water. The pressure vessel allows higher operating pressures to retain higher concentrations of dissolved oxygen and hydrogen dispersed in the water for reaction with the contaminants. The electrical supply includes explosion proof connection housings for operation in hazardous environments. The system also includes a cyclone filter for separating the precipitated solid particles from the fluid and automatic control of the reactor by monitoring fluid flow, temperature, pH, and pressure.
