Abstract
The present invention provides a system for high throughput purification of liquid.
Claims19
A system for high throughput purification of liquids comprising:
- a first portable compartment comprising:
- a liquid treatment system;
- and
- a media filtration system;
- a second portable compartment comprising a dissolved air flotation purification system,
- wherein the liquid treatment system in the first compartment is in liquid communication with the dissolved air flotation purification system in the second portable compartment and the dissolved air flotation purification system in the second portable compartment is in liquid communication with the media filtration system in the first portable compartment, and
- wherein the media filtration system further comprises:
- at least first and second filter lines coupled, via first and second filter valves, to receive liquid from the second portable compartment;
- at least one pump configured to move liquid from the second portable compartment through the first and second filter valves into the filter lines;
- and
- at least first and second filters each comprising at least one influx and efflux port in line with the filter lines, the filters configured for liquid to flow into and out of the first filter into a filter efflux line and further into and out of a second filter into the filter efflux line when the first and second filter valves are in a first position, and
- wherein the filters are configured for the liquid to flow into and out of the first filter into the filter efflux line and further flow from the filter efflux line into the efflux port and out of the influx port of the second filter when the first and second valves are in a second position to backwash the second filter.

A portable system assembly for high throughput liquid purification comprising:
- a first portable system comprising a pump configured to access a liquid source by a system influx line, the pump configured to pump the liquid into a processing line in the first portable system, the processing line connected to at least one of additives for treatment of the liquid and at least one liquid characteristic sensor in line with the processing line, the first portable system further comprising a media filtration system, the media filtration system further comprises:
- at least first and second filter lines coupled, via first and second filter valves, to receive liquid from a second portable compartment;
- at least one pump configured to move liquid from the second portable compartment through the first and second filter valves into the filter lines;
- and
- at least first and second filters each comprising at least one influx and efflux port in line with the filter lines, the filters configured for liquid to flow into and out of the first filter into a filter efflux line and further into and out of a second filter into the filter efflux line when the first and second filter valves are in a first position, and wherein the filters are configured for the liquid to flow into and out of the first filter into the filter efflux line and further flow from the filter efflux line into the efflux port and out of the influx port of the second filter when the first and second valves are in a second position to backwash the second filter;
- and
- the second portable system comprising a first influx port coupled by a connection line to an efflux port from the first portable system, wherein effluent from the first portable system is flowed into a dissolved air flotation canister in the second portable system, the second portable system further comprising:
- an air source operationally connected to the second portable system for applying dissolved air to the effluent from the first portable system;
- a scraper disposed horizontally along a top side of the second portable system wherein a paddlewheel provided in the second portable system is capable of rotating around two rotational ends;
- a debris collection chamber positioned adjacent to the paddlewheel to collect the debris;
- and
- a removal port connected to a removal line, the removal line configured to remove liquid from the second portable system.
