Description

(54) WATER PURIFICATION AND DISINFECTION SYSTEM

Field of technique

The water purification and disinfection system is used in the purification of water that is used in the food industry, agriculture, animal husbandry and household, as well as for sports-rehabilitation and other purposes.

Prior art

A purification, disinfection and activation system [1] is known, containing a series-connected combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module, a copper ionization module, a purification module, a silver ionization module and a magnetic module. The combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module, the copper ionization module, and the silver ionization module are individually connected to a control microprocessor control module connected to a power supply module. The combined module for generating atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen contains titanium electrodes connected to an alternating voltage. The copper ionization module contains a package of flat copper electrodes. The purification module contains a layer of quartz sand and a layer of zeolite arranged in succession. The silver ionization module contains a package of flat silver electrodes. The magnetic module contains variable-sign magnetic sections, and its outlet is the outlet for the purified water of the system. The electrodes of the combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen are a single flat P-shaped electrode that encompasses a plurality of parallel perforated electrodes. Purified water is fed to a pyramid to harmonize and activate it.

A disadvantage of the known system for purification, disinfection and activation is the reduced quality of the purified water at the variable flow of water in the water supply system. As is known, at night the water consumption decreases significantly, which is why the known system fails to maintain a constant concentration of silver and copper ions in the water in a controlled manner. The same applies to the electrolysis of water to atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen. The combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen is constructed so that the U-shaped flat electrode covers a package of multiple electrodes representing the other electrode. In this construction of the combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen production unit, the supplied current to all the electrodes inside the package cannot be distributed evenly because the internal electrodes are located at a greater distance from the U-shaped electrode than these electrodes in the package , which are located on its periphery.

Another disadvantage of the known system is the lack of automatic control of the wear of the copper and silver electrodes in the process of ionization of the silver and copper electrodes, which necessitates their replacement. This necessitates that these electrodes must be installed in a transparent housing and continuously monitored visually by an operator, which makes servicing difficult and requires the presence of permanent personnel. When the purification module is saturated with impurities, the device must go into regeneration mode. This can be accounted for by the reduction in the electrical resistance of the water, which is also measured manually and periodically by an operator.

Technical essence of the invention

The task of the invention is to create a system for purification and disinfection of water, which in an automated process ensures increased and constant quality of the purified water.

This task is solved by means of a water purification and disinfection system, which contains a series-connected combined module for generating atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen, a copper ionization module, a purification module, a silver ionization module and a magnetic module. The combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module, the copper ionization module, and the silver ionization module are individually connected to a control microprocessor control module connected to a power supply module. The combined module for generating atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen contains titanium electrodes connected to an alternating voltage. The copper ionization module contains a package of flat copper electrodes. The purification module contains a layer of quartz sand and a layer of zeolite arranged in succession. The silver ionization module contains a package of flat silver electrodes. The magnetic module contains variable-sign magnetic sections, and its outlet is the outlet for the purified water of the system.

According to the invention, the electrodes of the combined unit for generating atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen are composed of a plurality of alternating perforated electrodes and flat frame electrodes. The input of the combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module is connected to a flow meter whose input is the input of the purification water system. The flow meter is also connected to the managing control module, which is common to all modules. The copper ionization module and the silver ionization module are individually connected to a copper and silver electrode condition monitoring module which is connected to a wireless notification module. Between the output of the silver ionization module and the magnetic module is connected a module for measuring the current electrical resistance of the water, which is also connected to the control control module.

To purify highly polluted water, the water purification and disinfection system, between the outlet of the purification module and the inlet of the silver ionization module, a second identical combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module, copper ionization module and purification module are connected in series. The combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen generation module and the copper ionization module are separately connected to the master control module. The second copper ionization module is connected to a module for monitoring the condition of the copper and silver electrodes.

In another variant of the water purification and disinfection system, intended for individual water purification, the copper ionization module and the silver ionization module are located in a narrowed section of a housing, which under the narrowed section has an expanded section formed, under which a second is formed a narrowed section with an outlet for the purified water. The extended section houses the purification module. The magnetic module is located in the second narrowed section of the housing. A funnel is formed at the top of the narrowed section, which is the inlet of the water purification system.

In another variant of the water purification and disinfection system, providing a continuous water purification process, the source of the water for purification is also connected to the flow meter inlet from another identical purification and disinfection system b, which is connected in parallel to the first system a . The outputs of the magnetic modules of the first a and the second b system are connected in one common output for the purified water. The control modules 8 of both systems a and b are interconnected.

The advantages of this water purification and disinfection system are that, in an automated process, it provides an increased and constant quality of purified water. This is due to the provided: controlled separation of copper and silver ions in the water relative to the current flow rate of the water entering for treatment, controlled separation of atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen relative to the current flow rate of the water entering the treatment, reversal of the voltage on the electrodes, which are with different area, continuous monitoring of the condition of the copper and silver electrodes in real time, wireless notification when the electrodes are worn, continuous monitoring of the water resistance in real time and providing information to the management control module, which, in case of contamination of the double-layer purification module, switches the system into mode regeneration, as well as powering the system from an uninterruptible voltage source.

Application of the invention

The water purification and disinfection system (Fig. 1) works as follows.

In the filtration mode of operation, the contaminated water from the source is fed into the flow meter 1, which counts the amount of water entering at the moment and sends a signal to the controlling control module 8. The water then enters the combined atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen production module 2. The impurities in the water are oxidized by the resulting atomic oxygen in the combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen 2 to gases that fly off or to insoluble products that are later retained in the purification unit 4. In the combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen hydrogen 2 some of the microorganisms are removed and the viability of others is reduced by increasing the permeability of their cell membrane. Thus, the access of silver and copper ions to the cells of microorganisms is facilitated in the subsequent stages of impact on water. After the combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen 2, the water passes through the copper ionization unit 3 between the parallel-arranged flat copper electrodes, supplied with alternating constant voltage, which are connected to the control control unit 8 and to the unit for monitoring the condition of the copper and silver electrodes 10. When the copper electrodes are worn, the module for monitoring the condition of the copper and silver electrodes 10 sends a visual light signal and a signal to the wireless notification module 11. In the copper ionization module 3, copper ions are released, some of them form flocs of copper hydroxide, which is intensified by the atomic oxygen coming from the combined unit for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen 2, and the rest of the copper ions pass with the water to the purification unit 4.

Water enters the purification module 4 through a multi-way valve, passing successively through the layer of quartz sand, where the mechanical pollutants and insoluble residues of the oxidation processes occurring in the combined module for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen 2 are retained, and through the layer of zeolite , where the fine purification of residual chemical pollutants is carried out by adsorption.

The water then passes between flat silver electrodes arranged in parallel, supplied with a variable DC voltage of the silver ionization module 5. The electrodes are connected to the control control module 8 and to the current electrical resistance monitoring module 6, which when reducing the electrical resistance sends a signal to the management control module 8 to switch to system regeneration mode. In the silver ionization module 5, silver ions are released into the water, which, together with copper ions, completely destroy the microorganisms infecting it. Thus, at relatively low concentrations of silver and copper ions in the water, there is a bactericidal effect on a wide range of viruses, bacteria and algae, such as legionella, which is not destroyed by chlorine, as well as many other microorganisms that are resistant to it. To date, no resistant microorganisms have been found to silver and copper ions. The water treated in this way passes through the module for monitoring the current electrical resistance of the water 6, where its current electrical resistance is measured. When the measured resistance increases, the module for monitoring the current electrical resistance of the water 6 sends a signal to the control control module 8, which switches the system into regeneration mode. With normal electrical resistance in the operating mode, the water passes through the module for monitoring the current resistance of the water 6 and enters the magnetic module 7, where it is subjected to the influence of an alternating constant magnetic field, by which its liquid crystal structure is restored and numerous complexes of water molecules.

In the filtration operating mode, the zeolite from the purification module 4 becomes contaminated, which causes an increase in the electrical conductivity of the water after mechanical and chemical purification in the purification module 4. Then the system automatically switches to the regeneration mode, in which through the multi-way valve of the purification module 4 water flow of pure water is directed from the bottom up into the module and from there into a waste channel, and through the combined module for obtaining atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen 2 passes pure water from a pure water tank, the voltage on the titanium electrodes 12 and 13 is reversed and separated a large amount of atomic hydrogen. The water flow through the multi-way valve of the purification module 4 regenerates the zeolite, displacing any contaminants it has adsorbed.

The control control module 8 is powered by an uninterrupted source of electrical energy 9.
