Abstract: An oxygen emitter which is an electrolytic cell is disclosed. When the anode and cathode are separated by a critical distance, very small microbubbles and nanobubbles of oxygen are generated. The very small oxygen bubbles remain in suspension, forming a solution supersaturated in oxygen. A flow-through model for oxygenating flowing water is disclosed.

Abstract: An under the counter water treatment system. Water from an outside supply source, such as a municipal water line, is provided to user's home. A prefilter to remove sediment, organic compounds, and certain pollutants is first provided. After the prefilter, the water enters a reverse osmosis system which includes an osmotic membrane. The reverse osmosis membrane filters out impurities and very small particles to provide highly purified water. The outflow of the reverse osmosis filter is stored in a water tank. Water is removed from the tank by releasing an appropriate valve when the user wishes to drink the water. When the water exits the tank, it passes through a mineral supplement which adds minerals to the water beneficial to human or animal consumption. It then passes through an electrolytic cell having a plurality of plates.

Abstract: An innovative application for the purification of potable water for at source use, specifically focusing on disinfection of water using an electrolytic process. The process uses the discharge of electrical energy between electrodes to create reactive species in water, which then react with pathogens to provide the disinfected water. The invention includes a novel and unique controller system to assure that the reaction process and reactor will function reliably to produce treated water. The controller may respond to flow or pressure conditions, reactor status, treatment effectiveness, or other parameters monitored by various sensing devices. Specific examples of the application are for use in beverage dispensing machines, ice-making machines, tap water purification for domestic and commercial potable water use, water dispenser machines that use tap water, and similar uses for potable water. The invention can also be used with central or alternative at-source power supplies for small-scale applications, such as for purifying water when engaged in outdoor activities, e.g. hiking and camping, or in portable units for travelers who wish to treat water supplies for pathogen destruction.

Abstract: A method for separating contaminants from a aqueous source containing contaminants. In one embodiment, the method involves the use of a high powdered oxidant dissolved within the aqueous system. The gas is dissolved within a reservoir in the aqueous solution and the pressure within the reservoir is controllable. This allows maximum contact of the oxidizing dissolved gas with the contaminant material. Once oxidized, the outlet of the reservoir is adapted to permit hydraulic cavitation. The net effect of the cavitation is to induce a foam formation which foam transports a floc into a separate phase from the aqueous solution. In this manner, the process is effectively a dissolved oxidizing gas mass transfer process. In another embodiment, the process may be augmented by electrocoagulation. This involves the use of an electric cell which is disposed within the reservoir containing the oxidant material. By providing electrodes and exposing the electrodes to a source of current, the contaminants within the aqueous solution are either oxidized or otherwise degraded and this complements the oxidation by the dissolved gaseous oxidant. An apparatus is also disclosed to effect the methods set forth above.

Abstract: In a water purifying apparatus (1) having inner and outer cylindrical electrodes (51,52) concentrically arranged together to form a water channel (500) therebetween, the outer electrode has a plurality of small perforations (55) penetrating therethrough. The electrodes are placed in a water tank (2) reserving raw water. A voltage is applied between the electrodes for causing electrolysis of the raw water in the water channel. As a result of the electrolysis, the raw water is processed into purified water. Resultant gases generated by the electrolysis may be released from the water channel through the small perforations of the electrodes. In addition, the inner electrode may have small perforations penetrating therethrough.
