Abstract:
Disclosed is a water treatment device using an electrostatic field which configures a water treatment device to generate a large amount of static electricity between a high voltage unit (+) and a low voltage unit (−) by installing the high voltage unit (+) and the low voltage unit (−) to be close to each other while crossing the high voltage unit (+) and a low voltage unit (−) each other, and supplying power to sufficiently obtain low-hardness water in spite of configuring the water treatment device in a small size and installing the water treatment device on a pipe in which water flows.
Abstract:
According to some embodiments, a system for desalination of a liquid comprises at least one primary treatment process, at least one secondary treatment process, wherein the at least one secondary treatment process comprises at least one reactor, and at least one tertiary treatment process, wherein the at least one primary treatment process is configured to adjust a pH of the liquid to target pH level and to add at least one chemical additive to the liquid, wherein the at least one reactor is configured to heat the liquid to a temperature of at least 350° F. and to supply a pressure to the liquid to maintain the liquid in a liquid state, and wherein the dissolved salt of the liquid is configured to react with at least a portion of the at least one chemical additive to form an insoluble product within the at least one reactor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a water treatment apparatus including a pipe. Elements disposed in the pipe are respectively made of lead-free brass and nontoxic ultra high molecular weight polyethylene instead of brass and plastic polyethylene that are conventionally used materials. Therefore, when the elements come into contact with water, neither heavy metals, such as lead (Pb), nor organic and inorganic substances harmful to the human body are produced.
Abstract:
Devices are provided comprising one or more insulated hollow vertical pipes inserted into a bed of soil, each pipe having a descending and an ascending conductive element forming a loop within the interior of the pipe. A plurality of such vertical pipes can be attached to a straight pipe, forming a two dimensional array of vertical pipes, in which the loops are connected in series. Further, a series of such one-dimensional straight pipes can be attached together to provide a two-dimensional array. When vertical pipes are inserted into the bed of soil and an electrical current applied to the array, one or more magnetic fields is produced within the bed and parallel to the surface of the bed. The magnetic fields so produced impede downward flow of ionic fertilizers into the ground water, and retaining the fertilizer near growing plants when the bed is irrigated.
Abstract:
A separator device for removing particles from suspension in a liquid comprises: a housing (12), having first (19) and second (40) chambers with apertures (98) for ingress and egress of liquid into the first chamber (19); means (100) for setting up a swirl of liquid within the first chamber (19); apertures enabling flow of liquid between the first chamber (19) and the second chamber (40); means for setting up a swirl of liquid within the second chamber (40), the swirl in the second chamber (40) being in substantially the opposite direction to the swirl in the first chamber, and there being no substantial flow in the second chamber (40) which is in the same direction as the swirl in the first chamber (19).
Abstract:
A water purification apparatus for treating water containing at least some organic contaminants, and having a pre-treatment device for removing organic contaminants from a water stream, and having, a spin up bowl; a recovery bowl; an annular flow passage between the bowls; a magnetic member around the flow passageway; a magnetic body positioned adjacent to the member wherein the magnetic member and the magnetic body define a restricted annular flow passageway between them for flow of water from the spin up bowl to the recovery bowl; Also disclosed is a method of water treatment using the apparatus.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for selective removal of heavy ions, biological, cations, anions or other elements of interest from liquids using magnetic nanoparticles, and recovery of nanoparticles to be reused in the wastewater purification. For certain embodiments, after water treatment and magnetic separation, the loaded nanoparticles may be washed, regenerated, collected and re-introduced in the water treatment cycle. Water treatment and particle regeneration take place singly or simultaneously. In another disclosed embodiment of the process, the electricity consumed by the pumping system is supplied by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas or small hydro.
Abstract:
The various embodiments herein provide a poly-magnetic filter for enhancing the filtering effect on the sediment of limestone in the affected water. The filter doubles the effect of neutralizing the limestone sediment in the water molecules by simultaneously using a magnetic field and a plurality of polyphosphate crystal in a single filter. The filter is placed inside or outside a water-using domestic appliance or industrial appliance. The filter is installed at water inlet point of the appliance. The embodiments herein further provide a filtering method which primarily regulates the water molecules using the magnetic arc and further softens the water molecules using poly-phosphate crystals.
Abstract:
A method and system for efficient oil spill cleanup are disclosed. Inserting magnetic filings in the oil magnetizes the spilled oil. An electromagnetic boom associated with an oil spill cleanup apparatus is used to create a magnetic field proximate to the electromagnetic boom. The magnetic field draws the magnetized oil toward the boom. The magnetic field is periodically switched on and off to create a pumping effect and draws the magnetized oil to a collection apparatus. The electromagnetic boom is directed through the effected environment using a thruster on the distal end of the boom.
