Abstract

A liquid purification system (10) and method for decontaminating microbe infested liquid (14) is provided. The liquid purification system (10) includes a primary tank (18) which contains both a purifying liquid composition (24) and an initially treated microbe infested liquid (44) with the liquids being immiscible with respect to each other. A heating element (30) is immersed in the primary tank (18) for heating the purifying liquid composition (24). Microbe infested liquid (14) passes through a secondary conduit (16) and is inserted into the primary tank (18) where the microbe infested liquid (14) is heated by contact with the heat purifying liquid composition (24) and descends to a lower portion of the primary tank (18). A primary conduit (34) is mounted within the primary tank (18) and secondarily heats the initially treated microbe infested liquid (44) to provide a purified liquid composition.

Dependent claims

A liquid purification system for decontaminating microbe infested liquid, comprising:

(a) primary tank means for containing a purifying liquid composition and an initially treated microbe infested liquid, said purifying liquid composition and said microbe infested liquid being immiscible each with respect to the other, said purifying liquid composition being located in an upper section of said primary tank means and said initially treated microbe infested liquid being located in a lower section of said primary tank means;
(b) means for heating said purifying liquid composition;
(c) means for passing said microbe infested liquid through said heated purifying liquid composition for initially heating said microbe infested liquid whereby said microbe infested liquid is heated by contact with said heated purifying liquid composition for destroying microbes contained in said microbe infested liquid to produce said initially treated microbe infested liquid;
and,
(d) primary conduit means located within said primary tank means in thermal contact with said heated purifying liquid for secondarily heating said initially treated microbe infested liquid to provide a substantially purified liquid.
