REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM AND SEAWATER DESALINATION SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME
A reverse osmosis system for a seawater desalination system is provided. The reverse osmosis system includes: a high pressure pump configured to supply pretreated seawater at high pressure; a reverse osmosis apparatus configured to desalinate by reverse osmosis the seawater supplied from the high pressure pump; and a pressure exchanger connected to a high salinity water outlet of the reverse osmosis apparatus and configured to recover part of pressure of discharged high salinity water to the reverse osmosis apparatus, wherein the reverse osmosis apparatus includes: a vessel in which a plurality of reverse osmosis membrane units are arranged in a first stage and a second stage; an inflow and outflow portion coupled to a first end of the vessel and connected to a seawater inlet and a high salinity water outlet; a partition wall configured to partition an inner space of the inflow and outflow portion into two spaces; and a transport space portion coupled to a second end of the vessel and configured to guide the seawater moved from a plurality of reverse osmosis membrane units arranged in the first stage to move to a plurality of reverse osmosis membrane units arranged in the second stage.
Electrocoagulation Reactor for Removal of TSS, HM, COD, BOD, Color, Inorganic Organic Contaminants from a drinking water or wastewater stream
A non-chemical sustainable treatment reactor process utilizing electrochemistry for treating and reducing certain long chain inorganic and organic compounds including TSS, silica, color, BOD among other mineral compounds in drinking water, grey water and wastewater streams.
The electrocoagulation reactor chamber is built into a modular platform for ease of use and replacement of the metallic material as it used in this electrochemical process. The process is scalable for smaller and larger flow rate application when required using a continuous batch process. The reactor process includes a system controller integrating Artificial intelligence (AI) technology to optimize the system parameters and energy consumption based on the inlet water quality.
Liquid filtration filter cap
A filter cap includes a first end and a second end facing away from the first end. A first cylindrical projection projects from the first end of the filter cap and a second cylindrical projection projects from the second end. An annular recess is formed around the first cylindrical projection. The second cylindrical projection includes at least one peripheral groove for an O-ring and a plurality of radially inward extending ridges. A passageway extends through the first and second projections. The passageway has a first dimension in the first projection, a second dimension greater than the first dimension in the second projection near a distal end of the second projection, and a third dimension smaller than the second dimension within the second projection between the plurality of ridges.
IN-LINE WATER HARDNESS SENSOR AND WATER SOFTENER CONTROL SYSTEM
A water softener regeneration system for a water softener configured to soften and filter water, the regeneration system includes a water hardness measurement system configured to determine a hardness value of water flowing out of the water softener. A brine tank is in communication with the water softener and operable to regenerate the water softener with brine from the brine tank. A controller is operable to control the brine tank, wherein the controller actuates by one of opening and closing the brine tank based on the hardness value which is indicative of the effectiveness of the water softener.
WATER FILTER AND WATER FILTRATION APPARATUS
The disclosure relates to devices and systems for configurable, contaminat-specific water filtration and treatment. In particular, the disclosure relates to a contaminant-specific configurable and modular horizontal water filter and a water filtration system, comprising modular housings, each housing defining a plurality of reconfigurable compartments operable to accommodate contaminant-specific filtering units.
PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE URBAN BEACH ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX WITH A CENTERPIECE MAN-MADE TROPICAL-STYLE LAGOON AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING EFFICIENT UTILIZATION OF LIMITED USE LAND
A publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex is disclosed, with a man-made tropical, pristine-clear lagoon as the centerpiece of the complex, with surrounding entertainment, educational, sports, and commercial facilities, the complex having controlled public access and providing the look and feel of a tropical beach with clear waters and sandy beaches. In addition a method for efficiently utilizing facilities and land that are vacant, underutilized, have limited uses, or that are contiguous to or nearby recreational, educational, sports, or commercial venues is disclosed. The method providing a publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex with a centerpiece man-made tropical-style pristine-clear lagoon. The method allows for generating revenue and increasing efficiency by pairing vacant sites, underutilized sites, limited use land, or sites that are contiguous to entertainment, educational, sports, and/or commercial venues with urban beach entertainment complexes. The complex preferably has a controlled public access, thereby allowing entrance upon payment of a fee.
LIQUID DISPENSER
A water purifier includes a valve comprising a plurality of valves configured to control a direction of water flow; an integrated water way part in which the valve is inserted along one predetermined direction and a plurality of water ways connected with the valves are provided; and a case covering the valve and the integrated water way part, in a state where the valve and the integrated water way are coupled to each other, the case having one side that is open and closed to expose the integrated water way outside.
Water ionizer including stacked electrolyzer and flow switching device, with inlet being separate from outlet
A water ionizer includes a stacked electrolyzer and a flow switching device, with an inlet being separate from an outlet. Water entering an input regulator is distributed at a predetermined ratio before being supplied to an electrolyzer module to minimize acidic water to be discarded. Water supplied from the input regulator is directed to pass through the electrolyzer module in a crossing manner to delay flows of water to improve the efficiency of electrolysis. Electrolyzer cells are stacked on and fitted to each other to simplify an assembly process and improve convenience. Electrode plates of the electrolyzer module are fixedly fitted into a frame to facilitate an assembly process and improve a fabrication process. The input regulator and a flow switching output unit are connected via a connecting shaft to synchronize the operations thereof to obtain reliability.
Integrated systems of a modular support system
A modular support system includes a central core and operation modules arranged radially around the central core. A first operation module is configured to receive water to be treated. A second operation module is disposed under the first operation module and is configured to receive the water and to perform a first type of water treatment. A third operation module is disposed under the second operation module and is configured to receive the water and to perform a second type of water treatment that is different from the first type of water treatment. A fourth operation module is disposed under the third operation module and is configured to receive and store the water for usage.
