Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing bacteria-free iodine-species-containing drinking water for farm animals under continuous dynamic water flow, comprising dissolving solid iodine into a first water flow to produce a saturated iodine species-containing aqueous solution at a pre-selected temperature; blending the saturated solution with a second water flow to produce a diluted iodine species bacterium-free aqueous solution; and providing the diluted solution as drinking water to the animals. Preferably, the iodine is dissolved in the first water flow to provide a saturated iodine species at a pre-selected temperature at a known concentration, which saturated solution is then blended into a mean water flow. The continuous flow of iodine species-containing water is fed to a farm animal drinking water distribution network with reduced risk of back-contamination by bacteria-containing water through the network. Other uses of the iodinated water are as a disinfectant, for example, in the food processing industry; fruit, vegetable and fish preservation; industrial, commercial cooling tower waters, sewage and waste water treatment; and as a nutrient as an iodine source for humans, livestock, fish and plants.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating ship ballast water before it is discharged into coastal waters. The ballast water may contain harmful non-indigenous microorganisms. Before discharge, the ballast water is oxygenated and deoxygenated to reduce the populations of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, respectively. If anaerobic microorganisms are of no concern, the oxygenation step can be eliminated.

Abstract: This process involves the flowing of wastewater across a mass of zebra mussels that are attached to a fixed media such as a steel plate. The filtering action of the zebra mussels will remove contaminants. These contaminants will be used as food and incorporated into the mussels body tissue or excreted as feces. Filtered material that is not used as food is encapsulated and excreted as psuedofeces. Periodically the accumulated feces and psuedofeces, along with dead mussels, will have to be removed from the system.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are improvements to a water filtration system on a water intake line that prevent the infestation of Zebra Mussels in the water system. The water filtration system filters any water entering the water intake line through a filter having a largest pore size that is small enough to prevent the passage of an eggs or veliger of Zebra Mussels. To prevent accumulation of Zebra Mussels on the filters and the filtration unit, copper screens surround the filters and the water intake to the filtration system. The filters are also provided with threaded ends to facilitate easy and reliable removal and replacement of the filters when needed.

Abstract: A chlorinator in combination with a domestic water system is disclosed. The water system has a water inlet under the surface of an outdoor body of water, a pressurized storage tank, a water pump, an inlet pipe operably connecting the water pump and the water inlet, a detector/controller operable to sense the water level in the storage tank and to energize and de-energize the water pump as required to maintain the water level in the tank within predetermined limits, and an outlet line through which water can flow from the tank to the water system. The water pump is operably connected to discharge water into the interior of the storage tank. The chlorinator has a tank for storing dilute aqueous chlorine, a chlorine pump operably connected to withdraw aqueous chlorine from the aqueous chlorine tank, and to deliver the aqueous chlorine to the interior of the water inlet pipe near the water inlet. The capacities of the water pump and of the chlorine pump are such that, at a given chlorine concentration in the chlorine storage tank, the chlorine concentration of a mixture in the inlet pipe of effluent from the chlorine pump and water from the outdoor body pumped through the water inlet by the water pump is sufficiently high to be lethal to zebra mussels, but not sufficiently high that the mixture has an objectionable chlorine odor. The chlorine pump is operably connected so that it is energized whenever the water pump is energized, and de-energized whenever the water pump is de-energized.

Abstract: A zebra mussel control device uses a combination of electrical current and air bubbles to kill or disable mussels entering water intakes. The current is fed between electrodes that extend radially at equiangular positions around a cylindrical inlet of the water intake. Bubbles are created by an annular air chamber of the water intake below the cylindrical inlet. The bubbles rise, and pass through the gaps separating adjacent electrodes. Mussels entering the gaps are moved upwardly in the gaps by the action of the bubbles, thus increasing the normal transit time of the mussels through the gaps. In the result, the mussels are subjected to electrical current for a longer time than would be the case without the bubbles, and are disabled for a time sufficient to ensure that they pass through the water intake without attaching. The bubbles also drag any drifting mussels away from the water intake. This arrangement has been shown to be a very effective way to control zebra mussel blockage of water intakes.
