A docking station at a service site fluidly connectable to a mobile water treatment system having one or more deionization units comprises a fluid inlet configured to receive processed water from the mobile water treatment system and a fluid outlet configured to deliver the processed water to a point of use. The docking station also comprises a monitoring system configured to monitor at least one water quality parameter of the processed water, and a processor configured to receive the monitored water quality parameter and communicate with a central monitoring system disposed remotely from the station regarding the monitored water quality parameter.

The present invention relates to a family of very stable aqueous hypochlorite products and methods for reducing the self reactivity of Ca(OCl).sub.2.

A water treatment system is configured to remove salt from a feed brine. The water treatment system includes a primary freezing chamber configured to receive the feed brine and a source of cooled intermediate cold liquid connected to the primary freezing chamber. The cooled intermediate cold liquid and feed brine are mixed within the primary freezing chamber, where ice particles are formed. The water treatment system includes a rotary separator connected to a discharge from the primary freezing chamber. The rotary separator is configured to separate solid ice particles from liquid components in the discharge from the primary freezing chamber. In some embodiments, the rotary separator includes a mesh inner filter tube that is configured for rotation within a solid outer filter tube, where the mesh inner filter tube allows liquid components to drain into the outer filter tube while conveying solid ice particles to an ice recovery tank.

A method and rainwater processing system are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes collecting rainwater, filtering the collected rainwater, and ozonating the filtered collected rainwater to produce potable water. The method includes preparing a functional water, the preparing including adding a salt concentrate to at least a portion of the potable water within a processing tank to create a mixture.

An easily adaptable or do-it-yourself (DIY) installation water cleaning device on any existing spa or pool is provided herein. The cleaning device includes an electrolysis module equipped with a particular boron-doped diamond electrode on silicum substrate. The foregoing also relates to a method to clean water on spa or pools using a water cleaning device that includes particular boron-doped diamond electrode present on the elecrolysis module. The foregoing also relates to electrolyzed bathing water for use in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the skin and for use for use in the treatment of wound healing of the skin.

A process for the primary clarification of feeds, including chemically treated flocculated feeds, containing the target biomolecules of interest such as mAbs, mammalian cell cultures, or bacterial cell cultures, using a primary clarification depth filtration device without the use of a primary clarification centrifugation step or a primary clarification tangential flow microfiltration step. The primary clarification depth filtration device contains a porous depth filter having graded porous layers of varying pore ratings. The primary clarification depth filtration device filters fluid feeds, including chemically treated flocculated feeds containing flocculated cellular debris and colloidal particulates having a particle size distribution of approximately about 0.5 μm to 200 μm, at a flow rate of about 10 litres/m.sup.2/hr to about 100 litres/m.sup.2/hr. Kits and methods of using and making the same are also provided.

The invention relates to a process for recovering metals from aqueous solutions or solid feedstocks such as ores and waste. In particular, the invention relates to a method of recovering a target metals using a microorganism.
