A wastewater treatment device has: an ozone generator which supplies ozone; a mixer which mixes ozone supplied from the ozone generator with wastewater and supplies ozone mixed wastewater; an ozone oxidation unit which progresses ozone oxidation in the ozone mixed wastewater while passing the ozone mixed wastewater therethrough and discharges wastewater in which the ozone has been consumed; a biological treatment unit which performs biological treatment on the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit using microorganisms; and an adjusting device which adjusts the amount of ozone to be mixed with the wastewater by the mixer so that ozone in an amount that inhibits the microorganisms of the biological treatment unit does not remain in the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit.

Systems and methods for creating an oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in water for pathogenic control are described. The systems and methods generate an oxidation reduction potential that provides pathogenic control of the solution as well as pathogenic control of the surfaces with which the solution comes in immediate contact. In this invention, the system supplies the solution to a potato washer for cleansing and disinfecting potatoes in the potato washer.

A water treatment device includes a grounding electrode having a planar flowing water portion that causes treatment target water to flow, a multiple of wire form high voltage electrodes provided parallel with the flowing water portion in a position distanced from the flowing water portion of the grounding electrode and to extend in a direction intersecting a flow direction of the treatment target water, and a blowing device that forms a gas flow that intersects an extension direction of the high voltage electrode and intersects an extension direction of an electrical discharge. This kind of configuration is such that even when water droplets adhere to the high voltage electrode, the water droplets are blown away by a pressure of the gas flow formed by the blowing device, and a spark discharge is restricted.

A portable liquid filtration device includes a GPS tracking unit, a portable housing, an inlet configured to receive non-potable water, and an ozone chamber positioned within the portable housing. The ozone chamber is configured to generate an ozone gas from received air. The device also includes a filtration duct positioned within the portable housing and downstream from the inlet. The filtration duct includes at least one advanced oxidation (AO) chamber configured to mix the received water with the ozone gas, and at least one ultraviolet (UV) chamber downstream from the at least one AO chamber and including a UV lamp positioned adjacent the water within the filtration duct. The device further includes an outlet positioned on the portable housing and downstream from the filtration duct. The filtration duct is operable to output at least 400 liters per hour of the received water from the outlet as potable water.

The disclosure relates to a method of performing ozonolysis or ozone-based oxidation on a liquid or emulsified reagent using a tubular falling firm reactor with one or multiple tubes wherein the combined ozone and carrier gas flow is co-current.

The present invention provides an apparatus for the treatment of exhaust gas from diesel engine or other combustion type processes, the apparatus comprising liquid and Ozone gas injection means (2) and (3) respectively, for delivering the liquid and Ozone gas into a pressurised exhaust gas stream pipe (1) when the diesel engine or other type internal combustion processes are in use. The liquid and the Ozone gas commingle as the liquid is reduced to a spray of very fine droplets in order to capture sub micron particulate materials before entering a shortened reaction/contacting chamber (4) where the contents undergo a phase change before exiting and entering a gas liquid separator (5) where the liquid droplets are separated from the treated particulate materials, which are subjected to a scrubbing regime in a downstream scrubber (11) before exiting the apparatus through an exit pipe (7). When in use, the apparatus uses the diesel engine or other combustion type process pressure to create high velocities and Reynolds numbers in the shortened reaction/contacting chamber (4) in which NOx is rapidly mixed and reacted with the injected Ozone gas and converted through to N.sub.2O.sub.5 and wherein the sub micron particulate materials, with condensed hydrocarbons, are simultaneously wetted and efficiently captured by the injected and finely sheared liquid droplets.

Technologies (e.g., devices, systems and methods) for sanitizing reservoirs of humidifiers are described. In some embodiments, the technologies include a sanitization gas system and a connector unit. The connector unit is configured to install into a portion (e.g., wall, bottom, top, or lid) of a reservoir, such as a reservoir of a humidifier. The connector unit includes an inlet passageway for supplying sanitizing gas (e.g., ozone) into the reservoir, and an outlet passageway for removing sanitizing gas from the reservoir. In some embodiments at least a portion of the outlet passageway is disposed radially around the inlet passageway. The sanitization gas system may provide a sanitizing gas to the inlet passageway and receive the sanitizing gas from the outlet passageway.

A method and an installation for treating a main wastewater stream flowing in a closed conduit with a flow direction. The method includes the steps of: introducing a liquid into at least one pre-treatment stream; generating a gas stream containing ozone gas; introducing the gas stream into the at least one pre-treatment stream, each with a gas injector, resulting in at least one mixed-phase stream comprising ozone laden gas and liquid; passing the at least one mixed-phase stream through at least one static mixer, resulting in a predefined gas bubble size; and injecting the at least one mixed-phase stream in the main wastewater stream perpendicular to the flow direction.

Sanitary landfill leachate treatment by oxyammonolysis comprises three steps: 1.sup.st physical-chemical step with withdrawal of inert solid class II-B, 2.sup.nd step of filtration and 3.sup.rd step of catalytic oxidation and ammonolysis by cathodic reduction, obtaining treated effluents that complies with environmental legislation in terms of disposal or re-use of water.
