Abstract
Water to be purified is directed into a first tank and is entrained with ozone. The ozonated water is channeled into a second tank and is exposed to ultraviolet radiation. An ultraviolet radiating lamp produces the ultraviolet radiation and also is exposed to a source of air for generating ozone. The generated ozone is conveyed to and entrained in the water in the first tank. A filter may be used to filter the water flowing into the first tank. A discharge conduit conveys the ozonated, irradiated and purified water to a point of use.
Claims27
A method for purifying water, said method comprising in combination:
- (a) directing water to be purified into a first tank;
- (b) entraining ozone in the water to be purified;
- (c) conveying ozonated water from the first tank into a second tank disposed within the first tank;
- (d) irradiating the ozonated water in the second tank with ultraviolet radiation;
- and
- (e) discharging the ozonated and irradiated water from the second tank.
A water purification apparatus comprising in combination:
- (a) a first tank for receiving water to be purified from a source;
- (b) an ozone entraining means fluidly connected with said first tank for entraining ozone in the water to be purified;
- (c) a second tank disposed within said first tank and connected to said first tank for receiving ozonated water from said first tank;
- (d) a source of ultraviolet radiation disposed within said second tank for irradiating the water within said second tank;
- and
- (e) a conduit connected to said second tank for discharging the purified water from said second tank.
