Self-powered miniature liquid treatment system with multiple liquid flow paths

A liquid treatment system, comprising:

• a single manifold comprising a first passageway and a second passageway;
• a first compartment configured to receive a flow of liquid from the first passageway and discharge the flow of liquid into the second passageway, wherein the first compartment includes a filter configured to remove particulate from the flow of liquid through the first compartment;
• and
• a second compartment configured to receive the flow of liquid that has flowed through the second passageway,
• wherein the second compartment comprises a nozzle configured to discharge the flow of liquid as a stream into the second compartment, and a hydro-generator configured to be rotated within the second compartment when struck by the stream of liquid.

A liquid treatment system, comprising:

• a housing that includes a first compartment and a second compartment both configured to be in liquid communication with a flow of liquid through the housing, and a third compartment configured to remain substantially dry;
• a filter disposed within the first compartment, wherein the filter is configured to remove particulate from the flow of liquid through the first compartment;
• an ultraviolet dosing system disposed within the third compartment, wherein the ultraviolet dosing system is configured to treat the flow of liquid;
• and
• a hydropower generation system configured to operate within the second compartment, wherein the hydropower generation system includes a nozzle and is configured to generate power for the ultraviolet dosing system in response to the flow of liquid being extruded from the nozzle as a stream of liquid into the second compartment.

A method of treating liquid with a liquid treatment system, the method comprising:

• receiving a flow of liquid in a first passageway included in a single manifold;
• channeling the flow of liquid to a first compartment with the first passageway;
• filtering the flow of liquid within the first compartment;
• channeling the filtered flow of liquid to an ultraviolet dosing system with a second passage included in the single manifold;
• channeling the flow of liquid from the ultraviolet dosing system through a nozzle;
• extruding a stream of liquid from the nozzle into a second compartment;
• and
• striking with the extruded stream of liquid a rotatable hydro generator that is operable to be rotated within the second compartment by the extruded stream of liquid to produce electric power.
