The vehicular water-dispensing system claims the benefit of a prior disclosure identified as the non-provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 16/149322. The vehicular water-dispensing system is an enhancement to the prior disclosure. The vehicular water-dispensing system captures condensate from the atmosphere, processes the condensate water into drinking water and transports the drinking water into a water storage reservoir of the prior disclosure. The vehicular water-dispensing system comprises a water generation system, a condensate pump, a condensate filter, and a power circuit. The power circuit is an independently powered system that can operate independently from the vehicle electric system. The water generation system, the condensate pump, and the condensate filter are fluidically connected. The condensate filter fluidically connects to the water storage reservoir of the prior disclosure. The condensate pump electrically connects to the power circuit.

A cell capture, disruption, and extraction method includes a introducing a plurality of abrasives in a disruption chamber, which can include diamond powder, variably and multi dimensionally disbursed therein, and a pestle positioned in the disruption chamber. The method includes agitating the abrasives by moving the disruption chamber and/or pestle, agitation of the abrasives tearing cell structure in the solution to access its contents. A binding column or size exclusion column can be positioned downstream of the disruption chamber. Cell solution can first be introduced in the disruption chamber, the abrasives capturing the cells and allowing therethrough and purging the waste content, then breaking the cell content. The lysate can then bind to an extraction matrix downstream of the disruption chamber or it can be mixed in with the abrasives.

A horizontal-flow sand filtration pool and a water treatment process thereof. The horizontal-flow sand filtration pool includes a pool body, a raw water inlet assembly, a sand filtration bed, a filtered water outlet assembly, an aeration assembly, and a back washing assembly; the raw water inlet assembly includes a water inlet pipe and a water distribution device that supplies raw water to the sand filtration bed; the water inlet pipe is connected with the water distribution device, the water distribution device is provided in the sand filtration bed, and a plurality of water outlet channels are uniformly distributed on the vertical surface of the water distribution device; the filtered water outlet assembly includes a water collector and a water outlet pipe; the water outlet pipe is communicated with the water collector; the back washing assembly includes a back washing pipe and a drainage pipe.

A support grid assembly for use in a vessel. The support grid assembly includes panels each including a first wall including a media-supporting screen and a second wall to be supported by the vessel wall inner surface. A manifold is coupled to the panels and is in hydraulic communication with vessel outlet. The manifold and the panels permit fluid to flow through the screen in each panel, through the panels, into the manifold, and through the manifold to the outlet of the vessel, as well as in the reverse direction. At least a portion of the first wall may slope downward toward the manifold, and at least a portion of the second wall may form a bottom surface that is curved to substantially conform to a curvature of the vessel wall inner surface. The panels may be arranged in a circular configuration extending radially from the manifold.

Depth filters with optimized head space are provided, as well as methods of optimizing the head space in depth filters, and methods of filtration with depth filters having optimized head space, including clarification of flocculated feed streams where pretreatment may include any of lowering cell culture pH, addition of polymers (uncharged or charged), or addition of salts to precipitate out solubilized impurities resulting in high insoluble biomass.
