Solar distillation system with supplemental distillation units and associated methods
A solar distillation system includes at least one solar panel configured to reflect sunlight, and a distillation tube adjacent the at least one solar panel that is to receive a liquid to be processed into fresh water. The liquid flows through the distillation tube and is heated by the reflected sunlight. At least one supplemental distillation unit is connected to the distillation tube and has at least one curved surface to receive the reflected sunlight. The least one supplemental distillation unit includes a plurality of sprayers configured to spray the liquid onto the at least one curved surface to be further processed into fresh water.
Apparatus and methods for enhancing molecular oscillation for removing chlorine in water
An apparatus and a method for treating saltwater and removing chlorine in water to make a variety of sodium-based byproducts and chlorine gas is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a feed tank for receiving water. The feed tank is coupled to a plurality of Radio frequency (RF) chambers. Each of the RF chambers comprises an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is coupled to a treated water effluent manifold. Further, each RF chamber is coupled to a vacuum manifold. Each RF chamber comprises a recirculation pipe to pump water back into the feed tank. The RF chamber comprises a RF system used for bombarding RF energy at predefined frequencies on the water in order to liberate chlorine isotope. Additionally, the RF system bombards RF energy to stretch hydrogen bond in the saltwater to a point of breaking a molecule by applying low pressure. The hydrogen bond captures chlorine. Subsequently, the water is sent through the outlet to the treated water effluent manifold.
DESALINATION DISTILLATION COMMERCIAL POWER AND WATER GENERATION USING HHO ELECTROLYSIS AND STEAM BOILER
This Desalination Distillation Commercial Power Generation invention is powered by Hydrogen and Oxygen produced thru electrolysis. Present art desalination plants either use desalination distillation Or Reverse Osmosis. Both methods require large amounts of electrical power. This invention uses desalination distillation. In this method, oceanwater is boiled and steamed then cooled down back to clean water while in the process producing electricity.
Electrolysis is the process of breaking water (H2O) to its molecular atoms of Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas. Using Clean Purified water (which is similar to Distilled Water) is the most efficient way to produce hydrogen. This invention will produce Clean Water and generate commercial electricity.
Multi-stage gravity-type sludge drying apparatus and method for drying sludge using same
Disclosed are a multi-stage gravity-type sludge drying apparatus and a sludge drying method using the same. The drying apparatus includes: a dryer, a preheater, a steam generator, a filter, a steam or water separation buffer tank, a steam compressor, a cooling water pump, a sealed discharge device, pipes and valves. The dryer includes several indirect dryer modules. The transportation of sludge in the dryer is achieved by gravity. The inner cavity of respective indirect dryers is filled with high-temperature steam to dry the sludge by indirect heating. The condensate water in the cavity is recycled and fed into the preheater to perform preheating and impurity removal on the wet sludge. The secondary steam generated in the dryer is filtered, compressed and overheated to become a new heat source for indirect heating in the cavity and convection drying at a bottom of the dryer.
