Abstract
A batch liquid purifier using a reservoir, an ozone generator, and a pumping system is arranged for contacting the liquid with an ozone containing gas so that it is purified either during a direct outflow to a purified liquid chamber or during a circulational flow back to the reservoir. The flow circuit can include a liquid gas separator and venting of gas to atmosphere via an ozone concentration reducer. Pumping, valving, and controls can be accomplished in a variety of ways.
Claims55
A batch operation purifier for contacting a liquid with an ozone containing gas, said purifier comprising:
- a. a generator that makes said ozone containing gas;
- b. a reservoir sized for holding less than 20 liters of said liquid;
- c. a liquid passageway arranged for conducting said liquid from said reservoir to a treated liquid container also sized for holding less than 20 liters;
- d. a gas passageway leading from said generator to said liquid passageway;
- e. a pumping system arranged for causing said liquid to flow through said liquid passageway and for contacting said liquid with said ozone containing gas to treat said liquid with ozone;
- and
- f. said pumping system and said liquid and gas passageways being sized to determine the flow rates of said liquid and said ozone containing gas.
A batch operation purifier for contacting a liquid with an ozone containing gas, said purifier comprising:
- a. a generator that makes said ozone containing gas;
- b. a reservoir sized for holding less than 20 liters of liquid;
- c. a liquid passageway arranged for conducting said liquid from said reservoir to a junction;
- d. a gas passageway arranged for conducting said ozone containing gas from said generator to said junction, where said ozone containing gas contacts said liquid;
- e. a contact passageway arranged downstream of said junction where said liquid and said ozone containing gas can flow in contact with each other, said contact passageway being arranged for conducting said liquid back to said reservoir;
- a pumping system arranged for flowing said liquid through said liquid passageway to said junction, flowing said ozone containing gas through said gas passageway to said junction, and flowing a mixture of said liquid and said ozone containing gas from said junction into said contact passageway to said reservoir so that circulation of said liquid contacts said liquid with said ozone while said liquid is enroute to said reservoir;
- and
- g. said pumping system and said liquid and gas passageways being sized to determine the flow rates of said liquid and said ozone containing gas through said passageways.
A batch operation purifier for contacting a liquid with an ozone containing gas, said purifier comprising:
- a. a generator that makes an ozone containing gas;
- b. a chamber sized for holding less than 20 liters of said liquid;
- and
- c. a pumping system arranged for operating during purification to pump said ozone containing gas from said generator into contact with said liquid, and for operating during output to pump said liquid out from said chamber.
