US 9,809,471 B2 · Method of disposal of cyanobacteria in stagnant waters and equipment for its implementation

Abstract

An equipment for disposal of cyanobacteria in stagnant waters has a float structure, to which two types of bipolar electrodes (1 and 6) are mounted under the surface of water, interconnected and supplied with electric direct current via an alternator (10). The equipment comprises a supporting float (5) having the shape of a hollow body, in which there is a transversely positioned rib (4) with an attached suspended electrode (1), interconnected to supplies of photovoltaic cells (8) and alternator (10), fixed on the rib (4) there is the device (9) for utilizing wind power, connected to an alternator (10), driving the water pump (2), which is placed in the delivery pipe (3) and is connected directly to the axis of the device (9), for utilization of wind power. Fixed on the supporting float (5) there is the upper float (7) with the anchored grid electrode (6) and with the stored photovoltaic cells (8), interconnected with the electrodes (1) and (6). The delivery pipe (3) is connected to the water pump (2), and the outlet of the delivery pipe (3) is positioned directly above the suspended electrode (1). The upper float (7) copies the shape of the supporting float (5) and is made of a dielectric, light, floating material. The method of disposal of cyanobacteria in stagnant waters is based on quatrolytic disposal of cyanobacteria by the electroflotation method, by means of the above-mentioned equipment.
