Abstract:
An improved water purification system and method for converting contaminated water into potable water in an inexpensive and reliable manner that includes several active and passive purification components contained within a housing. The passive components may include, for example, a macro filtration unit for filtering debris; a pre-depth mixed bed media filtration unit to mechanically filter out various contaminants; and a post-depth mixed bed media filtration unit to remove particles or organic growth that may have resulted from active filtration. The active components may include, for example, a specialized media filtration unit to destroy and remove organic and inorganic contaminants; an ozonation unit to break down and destroy oxidizable matter; an active carbon filtration unit to neutralize ozone, adsorb contaminants, and improve taste; and a UV sterilization unit to destroy any remaining microorganisms and neutralize ozone.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a universal system for producing cost effective energy particularly for cooling purposes. In one embodiment, wind turbines are used to generate electricity and compressed air energy, wherein the compressed air energy is used to co-generate electricity and chilled air. The chilled air is then used to chill water in either a mixing chamber, or a desalination system, wherein the chilled water is stored in a separation tank, wherein it can later be used to provide cooling for an air conditioning system for a facility. When desalination is used, the system produces chilled fresh drinking water which can be used for air conditioning, and then used as fresh drinking water. Any exhaust chilled air can be used directly for air conditioning.
Abstract:
A water treatment system for use in situations where power means, such as electricity, are either non-existent, too expensive or temporarily unavailable, for example due to catastrophic circumstances, is provided. The system includes means to create pressure that drives raw water through preselected treatment media so as to purify and filter water, particularly brackish water, so that it is made potable. The system includes the use of physical and chemical treatment means, including carbon, reverse osmosis and anti-microbial media.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a portable water treatment plant, integrating all the necessary elements to make raw water potable, including saltwater for its desalination by reverse osmosis, in which all the elements forming the plant are strategically arranged and are assembled inside an enveloping, rigid and resistant steel structure (1), having a significantly parallelepiped shape, suitable for being transported in truck-like vehicles, or in the cargo hold of a commercial airplane, inside a standard container, its components being distributed in a single module or in two modules that can be connected by quick connections.
Abstract:
A system for producing drinking water includes an air-condensing device for generating water by condensing moisture contained in air, the air condensing device being disposed in a first case, a purifying part for filtering off impurities contained in the water generated by the air condensing means, the purifying part being disposed in a second case and connected to the air condensing device through a tube, and a water supply part for supplying the water purified by the purifying part to a user. The air condensing device and the water supply part are disposed in separated sets disposed at a difference place.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for recovering drinking water from condensate, which is made up of a self-supporting moulded part (11) of a UV-resistant transparent plastic material, such as PET or PC. Said moulded part (11) has an open bottom surface (16) at the lower area (14) thereof with a collecting groove (15), towards the exterior thereof, whereby said collecting groove (15) has an inside wall (18), which is orientated towards the outer surface (12) and serves at the same time as flotation aid and whereby said moulded part (11) has a pouring opening (20) at the upper area (13) thereof. For the production of said device, a vacuum is generated in a particular deep-drawing die, not only in the region of the outer surface to be produced but also in the region of the collecting groove to be produced and said moulded part is separated from a distinct deep-drawing die piece outside of the collecting groove region.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a potable water recovery and dispensing apparatus for producing high-purity liquid water by condensation of dew from ambient air. The apparatus employs an air filter (518) to remove and trap particulates of diameter larger than 1-100 microns dispersed in ambient air. An enclosed cooling means includes dew-forming surfaces adapted to cool the ambient air to below its equilibrium dewpoint. The surfaces are formed and positioned for gravity flow of liquid water collected on the dew-forming surfaces into a combined condensate collection and storage vessel (522). Before being discharged by means of a discharge line (536) the liquid water is filtered through an activated-carbon porous VOC filter-absorber (532) and treated in a UV treatment zone (534) where it is continually exposed to radiation of sufficient energy and appropriate wavelength to kill adventitious bacteria and viruses. If there is insufficient liquid water in the combined condensate collection and storage vessel (522) then municipal water (564) can be introduced to an external appliance or dispenser through the temporarily deactivated pump (530), the activated-carbon porous VOC filter-absorber (532) and the UV treatment zone (534). A check valve (566) prevents the municipal water (564) from entering the condensate collection and storage vessel (522).

Abstract:
Das Gerät entkeimt automatisch biologisch verunreinigtes und hygienisch bedenkliches Wasser über eine integrierte Desinfektionsstufe ( elektrolytisch erzeugtes Natriumhypochlorit NaClO ) , absorbiert chemische Verunreinigungen über einen Aktivkohle-Vorfilter und einem nachgeschalteten Mikro-Aktivkohle-Filter. Desweiteren findet noch eine Teilentsalzung durch einen im Bypass nachgeschalteten Ionenaustauscher, zur weiteren Verbesserung der Trinkwasser-Qualität, statt. Die Stromversorgung ist autark durch Solarstrom und Pufferbatterie.
