11787708 · 2023-10-17 · ·

A disclosed subsea sediment separation and filtration system includes first and second separation devices, a spreader apparatus, and a storage device. The first separation device receives a water/sediment/oil mixture and from a subsea surface and separates the mixture into a first component containing cleaned sediment and a second component containing a water/oil mixture. The spreader apparatus disperses the cleaned sediment of the first component into a subsea environment of the spreader apparatus. The second separation device receives the second component from the first separation device and separates the second component into a cleaned water component and an oil component. The second separation device disperses the cleaned water component into a subsea environment of the second separation device and provides the oil component to the storage device. The first separation device may include a plurality of hydrocyclone devices, and the second separation device may include a high pressure hydrocyclone device.

Destruction of PFAS via an oxidation process and apparatus suitable for transportation to contaminated sites

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

Skimming devices and related methods

Skimming devices may use pressurized water from, for example, a return line of a swimming pool or spa. The devices may be adjustable vertically and levelled relative to an upper water surface (waterline) of a pool. They additionally may create “blades” of debris-laden pool water entering their floating heads so as to move debris smoothly and efficiently over wings or foils into associated filters.

Vital water
11618702 · 2023-04-04 ·

By completely removing the gas dissolved in the water, the ultra-high-pressure collision between the water flows is realized. This ultra-high pressure collision not only breaks the hydrogen bond between water molecules, but also breaks the structure of water molecules, making water (H.sub.2O) instantly become H.sup.+, OH.sup.−, O.sup.− ionic state, or even become independent hydrogen atom (H) and oxygen atom (O) states, and then return to the normal water molecule (H.sub.2O) state in an instant. By maintaining high pressurized state (maturity), stabilize the link between above-mentioned original water molecules (H.sub.2O). Through above-mentioned process of instantaneous breaking and instantaneous recovery, every water molecule is caused to become full of activity.
