A dialyzer (15) includes a hollow fiber dialysis column (20), a liquid tubing section (12a), and a flow rate changing section (16a). The hollow fiber dialysis column (20) includes a hollow fiber membrane, a first flow channel that allows a dialysis target to flow internally of the hollow fiber membrane, and a second flow channel that allows an external liquid to flow externally of the hollow fiber membrane. The liquid tubing section (12a) tubes the dialysis target to an inlet (20a) of the first flow channel. The flow rate changing section (16a) is capable of changing a flow rate of the dialysis target at the dialysis target flowing out of an outlet (20b) of the first flow channel.

A method for fractionating a sulfuric acid process stream having at least 1 wt % sulfuric acid, using a treatment system comprising three filtration assemblies each having membranes that are suitable to pass less than 10% salt in a standard test such that average passage of sulfuric acid from the first and third filtration assemblies is less than 30% and average passage of sulfuric acid from second filtration assembly is more than 70%. The system produces a fraction of the stream with a pH between 4 and 10, and a second fraction that contains at least 20 weight percent of sulfuric acid.

A desalination apparatus 12 (liquid treatment apparatus) includes a first water treatment unit 26 (liquid treatment unit) that includes a reverse osmosis membrane and in which a treated liquid is separated into a permeate that permeates the reverse osmosis membrane and a concentrate other than the permeate, a water recovery unit 28 (liquid recovery unit) that includes a reverse osmosis membrane and in which the concentrate is separated into a recovered liquid that permeates the reverse osmosis membrane and a waste liquid other than the recovered liquid, and a pressure increasing means that increases a liquid pressure of the concentrate, such that a state capable of separating into the recovered liquid and the waste liquid in the liquid recovery unit continues, and that directly feeds the concentrate from the liquid treatment unit to the liquid recovery unit.

The utility solution provides the reverse osmosis water purifier (Reverse Osmosis—RO), more specifically the RO water purifier using a module to assist in diagnosing and protecting the good status of the product to assist users to monitor the good status of the machine, assisting technicians in quickly diagnosing the location of faulty components on the system.

The present disclosure relates to hollow fiber tangential flow filter units, including hollow fiber tangential flow depth filter units, for various applications, including bioprocessing and pharmaceutical applications, systems employing such filters, and methods of filtration using the same.

Systems and processes for purifying and concentrating a liquid feed stream are disclosed. In the systems, the concentrated liquid output from the high pressure side of a reverse osmosis stage is used as the draw solution in the low pressure side of the reverse osmosis stage in a configuration called osmotically assisted reverse osmosis. This reduces the osmotic pressure differential across the membrane, permitting high solute concentrations to be obtained, hastening the purification of the liquid. Reduced system pressures are also obtained by arranging multiple osmotically assisted reverse osmosis stages in a cross-current arrangement. Overall system energy consumption is reduced compared to conventional thermal processes for high concentration streams.

A process for solution mining of minerals is disclosed. The process comprises injecting an unsaturated stream (150) at an injection pressure into a mineral formation (130) to dissolve the mineral and extracting a high concentration stream (110) containing said dissolved mineral. The process comprising converting latent osmotic energy present in said high concentration stream into an increase in the total pressure of said stream by passage through an osmotic power unit (200) and generating electricity and reducing to the injection pressure the total pressure of a reduced concentration output stream (150) by passage through a power generating device (250) and using the reduced concentration output stream (150) at the injection pressure as the unsaturated stream (150). A process for storing a fuel in an underground formation is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a device and to a method for producing dialysate, wherein the device comprises a first part and a second part designed as a circuit, wherein the first part comprises a water connection or a water container and the primary side of a filter, wherein the filter is designed to produce purified water from the water by forward osmosis, and wherein the second part comprises the secondary side of the filter, a reservoir, a filtrate line which leads from the secondary side of the filter to the reservoir, and a return line leading from the reservoir to the secondary side of the filter, wherein an electrodialysis unit comprising a diluate chamber and a concentrate chamber is further provided, wherein the concentrate chamber is fluidically connected to the secondary side of the filter.
