Abstract
A mobile water treatment facility may include, in one example operation, receiving used, dirty and/or waste water from a well or other source. The water may then be prepared for a treatment cycle by modifying the water and applying a voltage to the water inside an electrode array in order to remove the sediment from the water to provide recycled water for continued use. The process may be performed by a full capacity device or via a mobile treatment and testing unit that operates by cycling the water at a smaller volume and rate for analysis and testing purposes prior to engaging a full flow-rate treatment device.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a liquid source input channel;
- a power supply configured to provide a direct current (DC) voltage;
- and
- an electrode array comprising a plurality of liquid holding electrodes configured to receive a liquid from the liquid source input channel and apply a direct current voltage to the liquid for a predetermined period of time.
A method comprising:
- receiving a direct current (DC) voltage at an electrode array comprising a plurality of liquid holding electrodes;
- receiving a liquid at the electrode array from a liquid source input channel;
- and
- applying the DC voltage to the liquid in the electrode array for a predetermined period of time.
An apparatus comprising:
- a filter configured to filter oil from a liquid;
- an ozonator configured to add ozone to the liquid;
- and
- an array of electrode cells configured to store the liquid for a predetermined amount of time and receive and apply a direct current (DC) voltage for the predetermined period of time to the liquid, and wherein after the predetermined period of time a reverse polarity DC voltage is received and applied to the liquid for a predetermined period of time.
