In a system and process for selectively purifying various pharmacologically-relevant components of a source plant such as cannabis, an initial step provides a low-temperature, robust essential oil/terpene capture that also dehydrates and decarboxylates the starting productfresh raw cannabisby means of a vacuum-assisted microwave distillation process. By doing the terpene capture under vacuum distillation temperature may be kept low. The low distillation temperature maximizes yields of thermally-sensitive components such as terpenes and cannabinoids. The system includes an oil/water separator configured to prevent leakage of ambient air into the system.

An arrangement which is composed of two systems, a mechanical system and an evaporation system, powered only by an electric motor, connected together by means of a cardan shaft system to a crankshaft, The crankshaft then moves a system of levers which by means of a gearbox gives speed to a system of pistons and radial cylinders of the mechanical system, which drive a Pelton turbine, which is driven by means of the mechanical system through the rings or cores S1, S2, S3 . . . connected to a rotation shaft to produce a rotating shaft. connected to a rotating shaft to produce the evaporation of seawater and desalination, a system which through different arrangements allows to generate heat energy, to heat the water and additionally to generate electrical energy.

A phase change crucible that includes an inner chamber comprising an inner chamber wall extending from an inner chamber floor to an inner chamber upper end, an outer chamber comprising an outer chamber wall extending from an outer chamber floor to an outer chamber upper end, wherein the inner chamber upper end terminates beyond the outer chamber upper end and the outer chamber wall encircles the inner chamber wall, an inner collection region formed by the inner chamber wall and the inner chamber floor, and an outer collection region formed by the outer chamber wall, the inner chamber wall, and the outer chamber floor.

A device (1) for distributing mineralized water, said device comprising: an inlet (3), for loading water from an external source (100); a distillation unit (2), connected to the inlet (3) and configured to provide a distillation of an amount of water at least partially through heating, wherein said distillation unit (2) in turn comprises, or is operatively connected to, at least an heater (4) configured for providing heat in an amount sufficient to heat the amount of water at least up to a boiling temperature; a water distributor (5) configured for transferring a predetermined amount of distilled water (D) extracted from the distillation unit (2), to a removable container (10), the water distributor (5) being provided with an outlet nozzle or aperture (6) configured to face in use on said container (10); a mineralization unit (7) interposed between the distillation unit (2) and the outlet nozzle or aperture (6), said mineralization unit (7) being configured for accessing the inner cavity of a disposable capsule (20), containing a mineralized fluid solution or powder (M) in said cavity, for extracting at least part of said mineralized fluid solution or powder (M) from the capsule (20) and/or being configured for emptying the capsule (20) from the mineralized fluid solution or powder (M), and transferring at least part of the mineralized fluid solution or powder (M) from the capsule (20) to the water distributor (5); the device, optionally through the water distributor (5), being configured to mix the mineralized fluid solution or powder (M) with the predetermined amount of distilled water (D) transferred by the water distributor (5) to the removable container (10).

A groundwater remediation system includes a capillary media supported and positioned such that it is partially submerged into a groundwater source to be remediated. Groundwater is drawn into the submerged portion of the capillary media and further into the non-submerged portion of the capillary material via natural capillary action. As the water evaporates from the non-submerged portion of the capillary media, the dissolved solids within the water precipitate onto the media leaving the precipitated solids for reclamation or disposal and allowing the cleaned water vapor to disperse into the ambient air. In some embodiments, heat may be added to the media, water, or air to accelerate the evaporative process.
