Abstract
A method of supplying power to a storage tank, can include attaching a power supply connector to a submersible pump wherein the power supply connector is dispersed between a pump motor and a pump head or wherein the power supply connector is dispersed above the pump head, wherein the submersible pump is located within a storage tank, wherein the storage tank comprises a decontamination region containing fuel and an ultraviolet light source located in the decontamination region; supplying power to the pump motor, wherein the pump motor power simultaneously supplies power to the ultraviolet light source; and irradiating the fuel with the ultraviolet light.
Claims18
A method of supplying power to a storage tank, comprising:
- attaching a power supply connector to a submersible pump, wherein the power supply connector is dispersed between a pump motor and a pump head or wherein the power supply connector is dispersed above the pump head, wherein the submersible pump is located within the storage tank, wherein the storage tank comprises a decontamination region containing fuel and an ultraviolet light source located in the decontamination region, wherein the decontamination region further comprises a decontamination tank and a tube, wherein the fuel enters the decontamination region from the storage tank via the tube and does not re-enter the storage tank or wherein the fuel can traverse back and forth from the decontamination region to the storage tank via the tube, wherein an inner surface of the decontamination tank is coated with an ultraviolet reflecting material;
- supplying power to the pump motor, wherein the pump motor power simultaneously supplies power to the ultraviolet light source;
- and
- irradiating the fuel with the ultraviolet light;
- wherein the storage tank is configured to dispense, transport or store fuel.
A power supply connector for connecting a submersible pump and a light source, comprising:
- the submersible pump disposed within a storage tank, wherein the storage tank is configured to dispense, transport or store fuel;
- and
- the power supply connector attached to the submersible pump wherein the power supply connector is dispersed between a pump motor and a pump head or wherein the power supply connector is dispersed above the pump head, wherein the power supply connector comprises a pin connector configured to attach the pump motor to the pump head or wherein the power supply connector comprises an adaptor configured to attach the pump motor to the pump head, wherein the storage tank comprises a decontamination unit containing fuel and an ultraviolet light source located in the decontamination unit, wherein the ultraviolet light source is configured to irradiate the fuel;
- wherein the decontamination unit further comprises a decontamination tank and a tube, wherein the fuel enters the decontamination tank from the storage tank via the tube and does not re-enter the storage tank or wherein the fuel can traverse back and forth from the decontamination tank to the storage tank via the tube, wherein an inner surface of the decontamination tank is coated with an ultraviolet reflecting material;
- wherein the power source includes direct current, alternating current, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing;
- and
- wherein the power source includes a power transformer capable of transforming from alternating current to direct current or from direct current to alternating current at various voltages.
A fuel decontamination unit, comprising:
- a power supply connector attached to a submersible pump wherein the power supply connector is dispersed between a pump motor and a pump head or wherein the power supply connector is dispersed above the pump head, wherein the submersible pump is located within a storage tank, wherein the storage tank comprises a decontamination region containing fuel and an ultraviolet light source located in the decontamination region;
- wherein the decontamination unit contains fuel and wherein the ultraviolet light is configured to irradiate the fuel;
- wherein the storage tank is configured to dispense, transport or store fuel;
- wherein the fuel decontamination unit further comprises a decontamination tank and a tube, wherein the fuel enters the decontamination region from the storage tank via the tube and does not re-enter the storage tank or wherein the fuel can traverse back and forth from the decontamination tank to the storage tank via the tube, wherein an inner surface of the decontamination tank is coated with an ultraviolet reflecting material.
