The invention relates to a method and a system for treatment of an underwater surface (S) and material removed from it at a cleaning site. The underwater surface is cleaned by a brush device (1), by which effluent containing solid matter removed from the underwater surface in connection with cleaning is conveyed to a treatment unit (5) where the effluent is subjected to separation and filtering. In a first step, the solid matter contained in the effluent is separated from the effluent in a form as unbroken as possible, immediately followed by a second step in which the effluent is precipitated. Said second step is immediately followed by a third step in which the effluent is filtered. The filtered effluent is discharged directly back to a body of water or to another clean water connection at the cleaning site. The effluent may be subjected to additional filtering and/or disinfection, if necessary.

A wetland system has a wetland structure and a wastewater treatment device. The wetland structure has several planting areas surrounded by hoardings, several planting frames arranged in the hoardings, growing substrates provided in the planting frames, and wetland plants growing on the growing substrates. The wastewater treatment device has a bar screen, a regulating tank, a hydrolysis acidification tank, a contact oxidation tank, an MBR membrane tank, and a clean water tank that are in communication with each other in sequence of waterflow and arranged underground. The bar screen is provided with several bars therein, a lift pump is connected between the regulating tank and the hydrolysis acidification tank, a drainage pump is provided between the MBR membrane tank and the clean water tan. The planting area is connected to the bar screen via pipelines, and the clean water tank is connected to the planting area via pipelines.

A swimming pool chemical dispenser includes a main body having an accommodating cavity formed therein for storing chemical tablets, an upper cover which covers the upper opening of the main body, and a tablet clamp having a clamping end penetrating downward through the upper cover and abutting against the chemical tablets. The tablet clamp is provided with scales. The tablet clamp descends along with the dissolution of the chemical tablets and the amount of residual chemical tablets can be visually and reliably determined from the scales on the tablet clamp for timely refill. The tablet clamp is placed on the main body, thus making it convenient for the user to replace the chemical tablets bare-handed without touching the chemical tablets, which is much safer and more environmentally friendly.

The present invention relates to a liquid and drink purification and stirring device. The device is handheld and can be used for a variety of liquid drinks, such as water, juices and wines. The device is designed like a stirring rod or straw and has the material composition that enables the device to attract and adhere various solutes thereto when suspended in liquid mediums. The device features an elongated wand and a handle. The wand is made from food-grade copper and when submerged in a liquid, attracts unnatural solutes, and kills pathogens such as bacteria, algae, viruses and many more. The handle can be made from any food grade and FDA approved material and can be integrated or removably-attached to the wand. The device is also used for stirring the liquid and enables consumers to play a greater role in managing their own health and to prohibit consumption of pathogens

A method for remediating wastewater formed by water and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using a wastewater treatment system that includes a collecting unit, a dewatering unit, a drying unit, and a baking unit. Wastewater provided to the collecting unit is dosed by adding a compound to the wastewater in an amount that is sufficient to cause the PFAS to separate from the water and to form a sludge. The sludge is dewatered with the dewatering from a first dryness level a second dryness level. The dewatered sludge is then dried in the drying unit from the first dryness level to a third dryness level. The dried sludge is then baked at a sufficiently high enough temperature that chemical bonds of at least a portion of the PFAS is destroyed.

A fluid treatment apparatus and related methods involving the use of replaceable treatment cartridges that include a treatment media, wherein the treatment cartridge is electrically enhanced to form regions of differing polarity within the cartridge. The treatment cartridge can include a pair of fixed polarity conductors that can be electrically connected to a power source so as to induce regions of differing polarity within the cartridge. The fluid treatment apparatus can be utilized to treat liquids including aqueous solutions as well as gases such as an air supply by exposing the fluid to the regions of differing polarity.

A water dispensing unit adapted for communication with a water supply includes a spout configured to receive water from the water supply and dispense the water to a receptacle for consumption. The water supply includes water received from a municipal water supply and contained within a space directly upstream of a base of the spout. A flow of water from the water supply and into the spout via the base is a downstream water flow. A disinfecting mechanism operable to disinfect water in at least one of the spout or a space immediately upstream of the spout.

The disclosure relates to a flexible active species generator comprising: a first electrode of a conductive metal thin film; a second electrode of a ground electrode; a flexible dielectric layer of an insulator formed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a plasma resistant functional layer formed between the dielectric layer and the second electrode, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected to an external power supply to generate an atmospheric pressure plasma to generate active species. The flexible active species generator has a plasma resistant function to prevent deformation and decomposition of an insulator caused by the plasma as well as an active species generating function from atmospheric pressure plasma, and has durability and safety, which is thus applicable to articles, foods, garments and human body in various forms.

An electrolysis system for water cleaning employs close anode and cathode plate spacing while providing cleaning of the plates. In one embodiment a moving anode allows access to the plates for cleaning.
