Water.
This is more important than food or
fuel. The world's population is increasing while the worlds' water supply is
not. There are only two frontiers left to supply water; either to purify the
wastewater for recycle in industrial facilities or purify seawater. Neither of
these frontiers have been conquered cost effectively with existing technology.
For years membranes and ion exchange have been
used to lower TDS from water and wastewater, none of which is economical,
practical or efficient as TDS levels increase beyond 10,000 PPM. Availability
of technology for low power consumption and powerful to purify the primary
pollutants is not available in a single technology platform. In many parts of
the world safe fresh water is not available to support the population, or that
water will be the major economic, environmental, and political issue in the
next century yet, this entire field is characterized by mature technology with
manufacturers that refuse to embrace a disruptive technology. So the product
cycles are measured in decades by the consumer. But a new technology has been
developed such as the Electronic Water Purifier (EWP) over the last 10 years
that has low operating costs, low rejection waste water, low capital, no
chemicals, small footprint and is now from POU to in large commercial sizes.
This
technology will challenge traditional technologies in water purification.
The Problem
Minerals in the water are
the major components of TDS (total dissolved solids). These minerals need to be
re-moved on many applications, or they will form deposits. The Electronic Water
Purifier makes patented technology available to generate a DI quality water.
How it Works Electrodes used are made from activated carbon and other
materials. These electrodes are layered into a cell casing. A DC power supply
is applied across the elec-trodes. The individual electrodes are charged with
differ-ent polarities. The minerals in the water have polarity charges, which
are attracted to the opposite polarity of the electrode, thus removing the
minerals from the water. These minerals are electrochemically absorbed on the
surface of the electrode creating the pure water. When sufficient minerals are
deposited on the electrodes and conductivity increases beyond the set point
desired, the electrodes are regenerated by shorting the elec-trodes to ground.
The contaminants fall off the electrode after a flush valve opens discharging
the contaminants removed. Upon completion of this cycle, the polarities are
reversed for normal operation.
Benefits
Simple Operation & Low
Operating Costs No chemicalsNo pretreatment needed like membranes and
media80% recovery Removes more contaminants than any single
technology Small foot print
Contaminants Removed
Arsenic Lead Nitrates Metals Perchlorate Sodium Chloride Sulfates Some COD’s
