A cleaning and distillation apparatus with a clean fluid tank, a cleaning tank, a recirculating fluid tank located below the cleaning tank, a removable separator panel partitioning the clean fluid tank from the recirculating fluid tank, a distillator and an outlet for dispensing fluid is provided. Also provided is a cleaning apparatus, without the distillator, the cleaning apparatus having a cleaning tank, a recirculating fluid tank located below the cleaning tank, a removable separator panel partitioning the recirculating fluid tank from the cleaning tank, and a fluid dispenser.

System, apparatuses, and methods for processing feedstock have a decomposing stage for breaking down feedstock into liquid and gaseous products and a condensing stage for condensing gaseous products to a liquid condensate. A mixing stage can also be used to combine gaseous and liquid feedstock portions into a combined liquid feedstock to be fed to the decomposing stage. The decomposing stage can be one or more flux tanks having a field generator for creating an electromagnetic field through the flux tank configured to decompose feedstock inside. The condensing stage can have a catalyst tank, distillation tank, condensing pipes, or a combination thereof. The mixing stage can be a reformer device having pairs of plates, at least some of the plates are capable of rotating to generate a shear force that creates a cavitation effect to combine the gaseous and liquid feedstock portions.

A rotary evaporator distillation device is provided that includes a flash vaporization section in which the bulk of solvent is removed. By removing most of the solvent before it enters the evaporating flask, the entire device may be smaller in size but achieve distillation at a pace available only in much larger systems.

A method of and system for recovering a dielectric fluid used for immersion cooling of electronic devices, the method including filtering the dielectric fluid to remove a first group of solid contaminants; distilling the filtered dielectric fluid in one or more distillation tanks to produce a vaporized dielectric fluid; separating the vaporized dielectric fluid from less volatile contaminants, such that the vaporized dielectric fluid is introduced as a condensate into a circulation tank; circulating the condensate by pumping the condensate from the circulation tank through one or more filters; filtering the circulating condensate through the filter(s) to remove a second group of contaminants; and returning the filtered condensate to the circulation tank.

A distillation apparatus includes at least one evaporation space in which feed water is evaporated into a vapour and at least one condensation space, in which vapour from a preceding evaporation space is condensed into distillate. The evaporation space and the condensation space each include a chamber and a plurality of interdigitated pockets arranged between said chambers, such that a first pocket of the evaporation space is present between a first and a second pocket of the condensation space, and that the first pocket of the condensation space is present between the first and a second pocket of the evaporation space. The spaces are mutually separated by means of a separation barrier that is configured for transmission of heat and for definition of the interdigitated pockets.

A water vending apparatus is disclosed. The water vending system includes a water vapor distillation apparatus and a dispensing device. The dispensing device is in fluid communication with the fluid vapor distillation apparatus and the product water from the fluid vapor distillation apparatus is dispensed by the dispensing device.

A desalination device includes a sealed desalination chamber with two compartments, an evaporator space that contains saline water, and a condenser space that contains fresh water, a saline water distribution mechanism that directs the saline water into the evaporator space, a vapor compressor that directs a stream of pressurized freshwater vapor into the condenser space, and an integrated regenerative boundary between the evaporator space and the condenser space that has two sides, an evaporation surface and a condensation surface, enabling the pressurized freshwater vapor to condense on the condensation surface to generate freshwater, and where the latent heat of the condensation process transfers across the integrated regenerative boundary into the evaporator space and evaporates a portion of the saline water to produce freshwater vapor.

A distillation and desalination system can include a refrigeration unit and a vacuum source positioned in the refrigeration unit. The vacuum source can include a first chamber defining a first chamber volume, a second chamber defining a second chamber volume, a flexible diaphragm dividing the first chamber and the second chamber; and a check valve permitting gas transport into and out of the first chamber, the check valve comprising an inlet and an outlet. The system can also include a distillation unit having a distillation chamber, a saline liquid in the distillation chamber, and a headspace above the saline liquid, the headspace comprising a gas. The inlet of the check valve can be fluidically coupled to the headspace of the distillation unit.

A dialysis system (e.g., a hemodialysis (HD) system) can be designed to operate in alternative environments, such as disaster relief settings or underdeveloped regions. The dialysis system can include a solar panel for generating electricity to power the dialysis machine and an atmospheric water generator for extracting water from ambient air. The extracted water can be used to generate dialysate and saline on-site. One or more of the components of the dialysis machine can be discrete components that are configured to facilitate fast shipping and simple on-site assembly (e.g., at a remote location). In some implementations, the discrete components may be configured to be attached to an existing dialysis system (e.g., a dialysis system designed for operation in a traditional environment) to permit the dialysis system to operate in an alternative environment.

A multi-functional distiller for separating target compounds from a base material. The distiller has a basket, boiling tank, and sealable cap. The basket has at least one selectively sealable port for holding the base material. The boiling tank is adapted for containing a solvent, and the basket is attachable above the solvent. The sealable cap may be removeably attachable to the boiling tank to provide a sealed chamber. The sealable cap can be fitted with multiple condensers. One possible condenser is positionable exterior to the boiling tank and functions to condense vapors produced by the boiling tank. A second such condenser is an inverted condenser which is positionable interior to the tank so as to condense vapors produced by the boiling tank and cause the condensate to drip through the base material.
