Water treatment system and method
A structuring assembly for structuring water in a water treatment system. The structuring assembly comprising a body portion, a tubular first layer defining an interior channel for passage of water, a plurality of structuring bodies positioned in the channel and a dampening layer positioned about the first tubular layer. In application in the water treatment system, as water passes through the channel and over the structuring bodies, dissolved oxygen content of the water is increased.
WASTE WATER INCINERATING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
A waste water incinerating method comprising supplying waste water to an evaporator to evaporate the waste water, supplying an evaporator top discharge stream discharged from the evaporator to an incinerator to incinerate the discharge stream, mixing two or more incinerator discharge streams including a first incinerator discharge stream and a second incinerator discharge stream discharged from the incinerator to form a mixed discharge stream, and heat-exchanging the mixed discharge stream and a fresh air stream in a first heat exchanger, wherein the first incinerator discharge stream is passed through a second heat exchanger, then mixed with the second incinerator discharge stream to form the mixed discharge stream.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WATER PROCESSING
A method of evaporating a fluid is provided. The method comprises forming a flow with toroidal vortices in the fluid, such that the fluid is exposed to alternating flow velocities and alternating pressures, thereby increasing evaporation of the fluid. A method of precipitating salt out of an aqueous solution is also provided. The method comprises forming a flow with toroidal vortices in the aqueous solution, such that the aqueous solution is exposed to alternating flow velocities and alternating pressures, thereby initiating precipitation of salts from the solution.
SELF-MAINTAINING HOT TUB OR SPA
An immersion structure (e.g., hot tub, spa, swim spa, pool, showerhead, whirlpool bathtub, and whirlpool bath) has a water treatment system that includes a nano bubble generator for purifying the water. The water treatment system can further include a gas generator that works in conjunction with the nano bubble generator to create a composition of liquid containing nano bubbles. The nano bubbles circulate in the immersion structure thereby cleaning the plumbing system and water. The water treatment system can be located within a cabinet housing the immersion structure. The system can be controlled (e.g., water treatment, operational parameters, cleaning boost, part replacement, etc.) by a user via a smart app on a client device.

Water clarification method and device
The invention relates to a method and device for clarifying water by means treatment of the colloidal structures contained in a liquid and/or a sludge supplied in a continuous flow at a flow rate of Q.sub.EB=V.sub.EB/hour. The flow is sprayed into a chamber under overpressure conditions in relation to atmospheric pressure, said chamber having a volume v<V.sub.EB/20, and air being injected simultaneously therein at a flow rate d.
Anionic ferric iron complexes in alkaline aqueous solutions
An alkaline aqueous ferric iron salt solution is disclosed. Generally, the alkaline aqueous ferric iron salt solution comprises ferric ions (Fe.sup.3+), potassium ions (K.sup.+), carbonate ions (CO.sub.3.sup.2−), bicarbonate ions (HCO.sub.3.sup.−), hydroxide ions (OH.sup.−), optionally nitrate ions (NO.sub.3.sup.−). Further, a molar ratio of the potassium ions to the ferric ions is generally at least 5.0. The ferric iron is complexed with carbonate, bicarbonate or both to form a water-soluble complex that is anionic in nature and highly soluble in the alkaline aqueous ferric iron salt solution at pH above 8.5, and a pH of the alkaline aqueous ferric iron salt solution is at least 8.5.
