This disclosure provides techniques for treatment of aqueous matrices using electrolysis to produce soluble metals. An aqueous matrix of interest is passed through an electrolysis device with at least one consumable electrode, which dissolves under applied current, transferring a desired reagent to the aqueous matrix of interest. In one embodiment, the electrolysis device is used in a water delivery network to passivate hexavalent chromium (Cr6) and/or convert it to trivalent chromium; the electrode can be made of food-grade metal tin, which is electrolyzed to form a stannous reagent, which then reacts with the Cr6. The disclosed techniques provide for Cr6 passivation without requiring the use of concentrated acids or other harmful substances. Long term reagent generation efficiency can be enhanced through the use of cleaning processes which maintain a fresh electrode surface in contact with the aqueous matrix of interest.

A multistage greywater treatment system including at least one separation stage, at least one solid removal stage, and at least one disinfection stage. The at least one separation stage is configured to separate water from one or more water draining device into at least three outputs including a first intermediate greywater. The at least one solid removal stage is configured to receive the first intermediate greywater and dissolve solids from the first intermediate greywater to output a second intermediate greywater. The at least one disinfection stage is configured to receive the second intermediate greywater. The resultant greywater may be provided to at least one recycled water consuming device after passing through the at least one separation stage, at least one solid removal stage, and the at least one disinfection stage.

Equipment and procedure for extraction of solids from contaminated fluids whose basic purpose is to obtain the crystallised solids from the contaminated fluids, without any type of rejection in order to valorize them and to obtain purified water in a single stage, all in a continuous adiabatic/sonic process with evaporation/crystallisation and with low energy consumption and where the procedure is characterised by being constituted basically by at least three circuits fully interconnected as a single piece of equipment where the first circuit, the principal circuit, is constituted by an inlet duct of the contaminated fluid to be treated (1) followed by a pre-filter (2) followed by a filter for fine particles (3), a heat exchanger of preheated contaminated fluid (5) in the heat exchanger (4), followed by a fluid feedback pump (6) to a nozzle formed by an injector (7) and an ejector (8), which introduce the fluid to an evaporation chamber (9), where the steam that exits is introduced into a closed-loop electromagnetic servomechanism (26), an saturated steam ejector outlet (32), driven to the heat exchanger (4), outlet (13) as purified water from the saturated steam (22).

A universal water purification system and method that can desalinate salt water or just filter fresh water. Preferably, the system is portable and relatively lightweight and provides for emergency or recreational safe power and water accessibility. The components of the system can be installed on an aluminum frame and preferably include one or more of a waterproof front control panel, four pre-filters, a reverse osmosis membrane or graphene filter, or electrical process of separating chloride ions from water, ultraviolet (UV) LED lamp, ultrasonic frequency generator, chlorinator or disinfecting gas infusion, a high pressure reverse osmosis (RO) pump, or other desalination process and a low pressure water supplying pump, an electro valve preferably with a manual override in case of power loss and can be activated based on the content of total dissolved solids of incoming water. The system may be removably inserted into a suitcase that can be carried by an individual, or housed in a frame with wheels.

The present invention discloses a preparation method for the plant-based nano corrosion inhibition bactericide for oilfield, comprising the following steps: Step 1. Prepare the aloin liquid; Step 2. Stir the carbon nanotube, hydroxyethyl methacrylate and acrylic acid to react for 4 h at a constant temperature of 80° C. to get the carbon nanotube after fiber treatment, namely the modified carbon nanotube; Step 3. Mix the aloin liquid with imidazoline-ammonium-salt, add acetonitrile, and then add modified carbon nanotube, increase the temperature to 95° C. stir and react for 12 hours, and filter after naturally cooling down to room temperature and get the carbon nanotube loaded with bactericide; Step 4. Stir the carbon nanotube loaded with bactericide, diphenylmethane diisocyanate and polycaprolactone to react for 6 hours at a constant temperature of 95° C. and in the reaction process, continuously inject helium to get the target bactericide.

An improved surface evaporation system where droplet size and spray configuration is controlled and modified based upon ambient conditions in order to prevent the spreading of salts and other contaminants outside of a treatment pit or specific area. Water droplet size can be controlled by adjustment of the spray nozzle side. Increasing the nozzle size to increase droplet size results in a reduction of mist travel direction (i.e., drift distance). Reducing the nozzle size decreases the droplet size, and increases drift distance. Similarly, changing the configuration of the spray will affect drift distance. For example, changing the spray direction and height from a vertical spray direction to a flatter, more horizontal direction (with resulting greater area) results in a substantially decreased drift distance. In addition, the system also takes into account the effects of wind speed and direction and humidity. Evaporation modules may use standard spray nozzles, or ultrasonic evaporators.
