Air or water filtration and remediation system

Abstract

A multi-stage air and water filtration and remediation system is described that can destroy, neutralize, or otherwise facilitate the elimination of many types of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and so forth), hazardous chemicals (e.g., heavy metals, radioactive species, poisonous gases, hormones, and so forth), and other harmful substances contained in contaminated air and water. The filtration and remediation system includes exposure of the contaminated air or water to an iodine-containing stage, a sulfur-containing stage, an oxidation stage, an anion resin stage, a centrifugation stage (for the contaminated water only), and a carbon-containing stage. The introduction of the contaminated air or water into, and through, the filtration and remediation system can be accomplished by gravity flow or pressure, various pumps, suction devices, and so forth. Additionally, optional iodine removal, UV radiation, ozonation, and re-titration stages can also be provided. The various stages can be positioned relative to one another in a specific configuration or sequence for maximum benefit and efficacy.
