The disclosed technology includes a water filtration unit. A disclosed water filtration unit includes a filtration unit housing defining a filtration unit cavity; an inlet coupled to the filtration unit housing; a pump positioned at least partially within the filtration unit cavity and including a pump inlet and pump outlet, the pump inlet coupled to the inlet; a filter housing positioned at least partially within the filtration unit cavity and including a filter inlet and filter outlet, the filter inlet coupled to the pump outlet and filter outlet coupled to a water dispenser; and a power source in communication with the pump to power the pump to push water through the filter housing when the water filtration unit is coupled to a water source.

A liquid collection container removably connected to an air conditioning unit, the liquid collection container including a main body to store at least one liquid therein, a primary hose removably connected to at least a portion of the main body to direct the at least one liquid condensed from the air conditioning unit into the main body, and a pump disposed within at least a portion of the main body to extract the at least one liquid from within the main body and expel the at least one liquid from the main body.

A reactor arrangement for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member(s), a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media in a continuous process. The arrangement comprises at least one reactor with a cylindrical reaction vessel (11) in which at least one reactor a transformation device (100) has been mounted. The vessel (11) comprises at least one inlet port (30) in the vicinity of its bottom wall (18) and at least one outlet port (40) arranged in the vicinity of its upper end portion. Each inlet port (30) is connected to a fluid supply member (300) configured to be submerged below the fluid surface level in a pool or a pond. The fluid supply member (300) comprises at least one inlet opening (301) configured to continuously supply a fluid from the pool or the pond to the vessel (11). Each outlet port (40) is configured to continuously let out the fluid from the vessel (11) to the pool or the pond via the outlet port (40). Further a method of using the reactor arrangement is provided.

The invention relates to a system and method for treating wastewater onboard a marine vessel or other limited space application where wastewater treatment is required. In one embodiment of the invention, two polar opposite wastewater treatment processes are incorporated into the same treatment system. The system is a hybrid treatment unit that combines a conventional wastewater treatment using a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process-based biological treatment unit in combination with a novel electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) via an in-situ sodium hypochlorite recirculation. The clarified and disinfected effluent from this hybrid treatment unit is filtered to remove residual TSS. The filtered and disinfected effluent is discharged after dechlorination/neutralization. On-site maintenance disinfectant can be produced via the electrochemical/electrochlorination/electro-oxidation process and used for both treatment unit cleaning and disinfection. Additionally, the treatment unit provides a wholly separate stream of electrolysis generated disinfectant for surface disinfection purposes.

Produced in an ice that can be added to water or drink to improve the flavor thereof. Provided is a mineral-containing composition containing potassium ions the concentration of which is the highest of the metal ions present in the mineral-containing composition.

Disclosed are devices, methods and/or systems for use in protecting items and/or structures that are exposed to, submerged and/or partially submerged in aquatic environments from contamination and/or fouling due to the incursion and/or colonization by specific types and/or kinds of biologic organisms and/or plants, including the protection from micro- and/or macro-fouling for extended periods of time of exposure to aquatic environments.

An exemplary, nonlimiting embodiment of the present invention relates to a water treatment and filtration system for reducing the concentration disinfection byproducts within drinking water treated by municipal drinking water treatment plants. This water treatment and filtration system reduces the concentration of disinfection byproducts, which may include trihalomethanes (THM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5), in drinking water using a clever sequencing of treatment techniques that intentionally promote formation of the disinfectant byproducts prior to filtration to effectively remove disinfection byproduct precursors and prevent subsequent formation of disinfection byproducts downstream during distribution. Moreover, this water treatment and filtration system can be retrofitted to a variety of municipal drinking water treatment plants and is designed to easily scale if demand for drinking water within the municipality increases.

The present invention relates to a process and plant for treating feed water containing nitrate. The process includes, sorbing nitrate from the feed water onto an ion exchange resin to form a loaded resin and produce a treated water stream depleted in nitrate, regenerating the loaded resin so that the resin can be reused and produce a brine stream high in nitrate; and converting nitrate in the brine stream into molecular nitrogen gas with the assistance of a bioactive agent.
