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.

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.

A laboratory water generation and distribution system capable of distributing laboratory water at different temperatures is disclosed. A laboratory water generation section is configured to receive potable water and treat the potable water to generate laboratory water. A laboratory water distribution section comprises a laboratory water storage tank and a main distribution loop fluidly communicating with the laboratory water storage tank to receive the laboratory water therefrom. The laboratory water distribution section further comprises a sub distribution loop operatively connected to the main distribution loop via a valve to receive the laboratory water therefrom. The sub distribution loop returns to the main distribution loop and dispenses the laboratory water to the main distribution loop.

A system for generating electricity, heat, and desalinated water having a gas turbine system connected to a first electric generator, a waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) system, a combined heat and power (CHP) generation system connected to a second electric generator, one or more solar powered energy systems, and a desalination system. The desalination system is connected to the CHP generation system and the WHRB system. The gas turbine system generates electricity and heat, the WHRB system is connected to and uses the exhaust of the gas turbine system to provide heat and steam power to the CHP generation system. The CHP generation system produces and provides electricity and heat to the desalination system, which produces product water, and at least one solar powered energy system provides thermal energy to one or more of the gas turbine system, the WHRB system, the CHP generation system, and the desalination system.

The present disclosure provides a complete set of equipment for supplying drinking water in field. The complete set of equipment for supplying drinking water in field consists of several units carried by single person, making the water purification equipment easy to use and transport. The complete set of equipment includes a multistage filtration unit, a reverse osmosis unit, and a power control unit connected by a plug-in pipeline.

A subsea production unit for subsea treatment of oil has a frame that supports an onboard multiphase separation system for separating gas and water from a wellstream containing oil. The subsea production unit also includes an onboard water treatment system for cleaning oil from water that is produced by the separation system.

A method and system is provided for treating waste generated from manufacturing operations including at least one of Printed Circuit Boards Fabrication (PCB FAB), General Metal Finishing (GMF), semiconductors manufacturing, chemical milling, and Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). The method and system are used to create zero liquid discharge recycling.

A water treatment system comprises a flow path through a first activated carbon filter, a second activated carbon filter downstream of the first activated carbon filter, a particulate filter downstream of the second activated carbon filter, for example a ceramic membrane, and a UV sterilizer downstream of the particulate filter. Ozone is introduced into the process water ahead of a water storage vessel for storing treated water produced by the system. A recycle subsystem is periodically operated to withdraw treated water from the water storage vessel to form recycled water, introduce the recycled water to the water lines upstream of the UV sterilizer, and return the recycled water to the water storage vessel. A main programmable logic controller (PLC) controls a flow of the process water through the water treatment system and controls the recycle subsystem.

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.
