WATER STORAGE TANK STRUCTURE AND OPERATING METHOD FOR THE REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER PURIFYING SYSTEM
A water storage tank built for a reverse osmosis water purifying system deploys multi water flow passages of purified water and drainage water, allocated a soft bladder unit receiving purified water encompassed by the waste water in the tank. When the water tank unit is fully filled with water, the water pressure activates the auto-shut-off valve or solenoid valve to stop operation of the reverse osmosis water purifying system. When the dispensing faucet is turned on, the drainage water swells to squeeze the soft bladder unit to deliver the purified water out from the soft bladder unit to the dispensing faucet, and the drainage water flushes the reverse osmosis membrane as well. The technique enables the tank to take the least water pressure resistance to hold water and drain water which results in energy saving and water saving.

Method of installing an emergency flow restrictor device (EFRD) on a pipeline
A method of installing an Emergency Flow Restrictor Device (EFRD) on a pipeline without stopping the flow of fluid through the pipeline includes the steps of: assembling first and second face plates on a pipeline such that the first and second sealing face are in face to face, spaced relation; assembling a cutting device between the first face plate and the second face plate; assembling a valve body that has an access opening on a length of pipeline such that the valve body encloses the first and second face plates and the cutting device; installing an access valve on the access opening; operating the cutting device to sever the pipeline between the first and second sealing faces; retracting the cutting device and severed section of pipeline; and attaching a valve gate member of the EFRD to the access opening.
WATER GENERATION FOR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Water generation systems include a first stage defining a processing chamber, a heating element operably coupled to the first stage and configured to cause a temperature of the processing chamber to reach at least 350 C. to perform a gasification operation on solid waste deposited within the processing chamber to release gaseous hydrogen, and a second stage defining a reaction chamber that includes a reacting catalyst arranged within the reaction chamber, the reacting catalyst configured to catalyze gaseous hydrogen released from the solid waste and carbon dioxide to generate water and methane.
