A water container with an ozone diffuser is an apparatus that is used to diffuse ozone gas into water that is either flowing through the apparatus or is retained by the apparatus. The apparatus includes an aeration chamber, an ozone generator coupler, a distribution hub, a plurality of porous tubes, and a degassing unit. The ozone generator coupler allows the apparatus to connect with a pressurized supply of ozone gas. The aeration chamber is used to retain the water that is currently being aerated by the ozone gas. The distribution hub receives the ozone gas from the ozone generator coupler and distributes the ozone gas amongst the porous tubes. The ozone gas is then evenly inserted from the porous tubes into the water retained by the aeration chamber. The degassing unit is used to neutralize the excess ozone before exhausting the excess ozone into the apparatus's surroundings.

A method for processing a fluid includes removably securing a retention member to a vessel that bounds a chamber; inserting a collapsible bag within the chamber of the vessel; securing the bag to the retention member so that the bag is supported within the chamber of the vessel; and dispensing a fluid into a compartment of the collapsible bag supported within the chamber of the vessel. The fluid can be mixed within bag while the bag is disposed within the vessel.

A washing machine according to the present invention comprises: a cabinet which forms an outer shape; a tub which is disposed inside of the cabinet, and in which washing water is stored; a pump which circulates the washing water stored in the tub; a circulating nozzle which sprays, into the inside of the tub, the washing water supplied from the pump; a circulating hose which connects the pump to the tub, and guides the circulated washing water to the circulating nozzle; and an atomizing unit which is disposed on the circulating hose, and atomizes the circulated washing water by mixing air. The washing machine according to the present invention supplies, into the inside of the tub through an air mixer, washing water in which air is included, and thus has an advantage of reducing the total flow rate of the used washing water.

The present disclosure is related to a process comprising steps of fermentation, separation and purification that can be carried out in a centralized facility with large scale fermentation or in a decentralized facility with smaller scales of fermentation to make value added products from substrate not limiting to gaseous substrates effectively. The fermentation involves fermentative production of a marketable product using reactors or fermentors which are optimized for influential parameters such as gaseous substrate, gas hold up, mass transfer coefficient, etc. The separation step involves an effective way of separating desired product from fermentation broth by employing filtration, precipitation or adsorption techniques thereby enabling easy transportation of the product in case of a decentralized facility. The final stage of the process, either in centralized or decentralized facility, includes the elution of retained product and further purification of the same using downstream processing techniques.

The present microbubble generator is a microbubble generator for generating microbubbles in a liquid, including a straight pipe made of porous ceramics, having one end connected to a compressor and the other end blocked, and the straight pipe having an average pore diameter of 1.5 m or less.

A water aeration system powers an air pump held in an encasement with a solar panel mounted directly or indirectly to the encasement or to the mounting pole supporting the encasement above a ground surface. An air conduit directs pumped air to one or more disc diffusers submerged in the body of water to be aerated. The disc diffuser(s) are supported by a floating platform that is suspended from a buoy or float so that the disc diffuser(s) are held at a desired depth below the water surface.

To provide method and apparatus for producing alkaline water, capable of preventing mixture of fine particles derived from a gas dissolving membrane device into hydrogen water. An apparatus for producing alkaline water for cleaning electronic device includes: a pH adjusting device 11 configured to adjust ultrapure water to be alkaline; a deaeration device 13 configured to deaerate the ultrapure water adjusted to be alkaline; and a gas dissolving membrane device 14 having a gas permeable membrane to dissolve functional gas into the deaerated ultrapure water.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an aquaculture environment control system comprising one or more control apparatuses positioned within a vessel at an angle relative to a proximal vessel wall and configured for scouring of the vessel, wherein each control apparatus has a discharge conduit and each discharge conduit has one or more orifices; and a fluid source in fluid communication with each of the control apparatuses. Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method of controlling an aquaculture environment comprising supplying one or more of a fluid and gas to a control apparatus positioned within a vessel at an angle relative to a proximal vessel wall; and discharging one or more of the fluid and gas from the control apparatus at a fluid velocity sufficient for scouring of the vessel.

An aerator assembly for wastewater treatment includes a draft tube and an air supply assembly. The draft tube includes a sidewall and presents open top and bottom tube ends. The air supply assembly includes an air supply conduit and a diffuser body. The diffuser body has an inlet aperture and a bubble generator connected to the inlet. The inlet aperture is connected to the air supply conduit such that the bubble generator receives air from a source of air, to which the air supply conduit is connected. The bubble generator has a plurality of air openings for generating fine air bubbles. The diffuser body is sealingly engaged to the sidewall adjacent the bottom tube end so as restrict upward flow of wastewater through the draft tube past the diffuser body.
