Abstract

A hollow cylindrical tube runs the length of a photo-reactor plate. The tube is positioned below the photo-reactor plate or the photo-reactor plate sits atop the device. The cylindrical tube has a slotted opening on top. The photo-reactor plate fits into the slotted opening and is supported by the slotted opening. There is added reinforcement through the use of support braces on either side of the slotted opening along the cylindrical tube. These support braces are L-shaped and add strength and support to the upright plates sitting in the slotted opening. The support braces are aid in the attachment of the cylindrical tubing and the photo-reactor plates. The photo-reactor plates contain UV light once UV light has entered. Other parts of the present invention can be manufactured to contain UV light once UV light has entered, as well.

first, piping volatile organic compound laden waste water into a first end of a manifold at a rate of 50 gallons per minute;
second adding at least 1 kilo and no more than 10 kilo per 1000 gallons of titanium dioxide to the volatile organic compound laden waste water;
third, flowing the volatile organic compound laden waste water from the manifold to a ⅝ inch wide space between 4 foot by 8 foot photo-reactor plates, at a rate of up to 150 gallons per minute;
fourth, slowing and increasing volatile organic compound laden waste water flow between the photo-reactor plates by a computer monitor;
and
fifth, testing liquid flowing out of the photo-reactor plates.
