Abstract:
An intermodal container has a roof, floor, side walls and end walls converted for use as a water processing tank, the tank walls reinforced so that the tank can be filled with water. The tank is lines with a flexible liner. On one of the walls aligned apertures are made in the liner and the wall with an inwardly facing flange surface facing into the tank. A process wall is mounted against the flange surface with fastening bolts exposed at the outside of the tank. The process wall is bolted from outside the tank so that a margin of the liner at the aperture is pinched between the process wall and the flange surface to seal it in place. Interface components are mounted and sealed at ports in the process wall to provide inputs to, and outputs from, the tank interior both above and below the design level of water in the tank.
Abstract:
A liquid filter assembly comprising a filter subassembly is inserted within an elongated tubular filter body, enclosed by a pair of end caps. The filter subassembly includes a plurality of filtration discs placed onto a tubular core and inner support member. A disc aperture is provided concentrically through each filtration disc. An outer filter support member and a central filter support member support each filtration disc. The outer filter support member engages with an interior of the elongated body and an end wall engages with the disc perimeter. The central filter support member engages with an exterior of the inner support member and an end wall engages with the peripheral edge about the filtration disc aperture. Fluid passes through the first end cap orifice, continuing through the inner support member, transferring flow through the filtration discs, returning through the inner support member, and exiting the opposite end cap orifice.
Abstract:
A water heating system is provided. The water heating system includes an inlet connectable to a supply of untreated water, supply and return lines connectable to a point-of-use water treatment system, and an output for dispensing a supply of treated and optionally heated water. An internal heating element is adapted to heat the treated water to one of a plurality of pre-selected temperature settings. Temperature control can be achieved by cycling the power applied to the heating element and/or controlling the flow rate of treated water through the heating element. The water heating system includes additional improvements in electrical compatibility, energy consumption, and remote failure detection.
Abstract:
A process for the treatment of minewater or other waste waters integrating existing treatment processes in a modular scaled system wherein the improved treatment system can make use of a positive head of water, either via siphon or conducted flow to displace pumping costs involved in water treatment. The improved process can to be located underground, as it is both modular and intensified, reducing the physical size of the treatment plant and increasing its flexibility. The improved process has a lower capital cost and reduced operating costs.
Abstract:
A method of remediating a water-based fluid includes the steps of providing a container providing a fluid cavity and organic, inorganic and biological remediation media within the cavity. The container is tubular and provides a linear flow direction, organic, inorganic and biological remediation media arranged in the cavity and configured to permit a water-based fluid within the cavity to simultaneously flow through the media. The organic, the inorganic and the biological remediation media are respectively configured to remove organic, inorganic and microbiological constituents. The organic, inorganic and biological remediation media are arranged within the cavity along the linear flow direction. Multiple cartridges are arranged within the cavity and spaced apart from one another. A predetermined flow rate of the water-based fluid through the cavity is set and it concurrently removes organic, inorganic and iodine-based biocide contaminants from the fluid within the cavity.
Abstract:
A mobile wastewater treatment facility, comprising a first vehicle having one or more first water treatment systems, a second vehicle having one or more second water treatment systems and wherein the first vehicle and the second vehicle are modular, and the first water treatment systems and second water treatment systems are configurable in combination to process contaminated water as a function of the type of contamination.
Abstract:
A modular frame system for support of pressure vessels used in water treatment systems comprising a plurality of frame cells is disclosed, where each frame cell is releasably attachable to other frame cells in a variety of relationships. The frame cells may be attached horizontally, vertically, or side-by-side. The frame cells are designed to accommodate a variety of pressure vessels having different sizes and weights, and having different connections for connection to other pressure vessels.
Abstract:
A water-based remediation bed includes a container providing a fluid cavity. Organic, inorganic and biological remediation media are arranged in the cavity and are configured to permit a water-based fluid within the cavity to simultaneously flow through the media.
