Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to apparatuses, systems and/or methods used in the purification and filtration of liquids. More particularly, the present invention relates to apparatuses, systems and/or methods using essentially ozone and filters for the purification and filtration of water.
  • water sources for human consumption or other uses can often contain contaminants and various pollution elements such as pathogens which may cause various infections (e.g. bacteria, viruses, etc. . . . ) and organic and inorganic substances which may cause unwanted odor and color to the water sources.
  • pathogens e.g. bacteria, viruses, etc. . . .
  • organic and inorganic substances which may cause unwanted odor and color to the water sources.
  • water treatment systems have been mainly managed by municipalities, in order to accommodate the drinkable and recreational water needs of their population, and also treat waste water. Lately, the increasing concerns regarding the environment, the standards associated to its protection and the emergence of larger scale projects in construction have changed the requirements and the mission of water treatment systems. Also, available water sources can be of different nature, including surface waters or ground water.
  • hypochlorous acid and HOCl customarily referred to as chlorine in the pool industry
  • hypobromous acid and HOBr also used but to a lesser degree
  • hypobromous acid and HOBr also used but to a lesser degree
  • most compounds that produce chlorine in water sources influence the pH thereof. It is therefore necessary to add either an acidic or a caustic substance to maintain a certain pH. This means that the water treatment systems need to have two injection systems: one for the selected disinfectant, and another one for the pH control.
  • Ozone exhibits biocidal qualities in concentrations over 0.4 parts per million, when dissolved in water.
  • Ozone is a semi-stable gas formed of three oxygen atoms, instead of the two atoms that form oxygen gas.
  • Ozone is most typically produced by an electrical arc discharged through air causing oxygen atoms to combine with an oxygen free radical that is formed.
  • Ozone rapidly undergoes reaction to revert to more stable oxygen, releasing an oxygen free radical in the process. Two such free radicals can combine to form an oxygen molecule or the free radicals can oxidize an oxidizable substance.
  • Ozone not only kills bacteria, but also inactivates many viruses, cysts and spores.
  • ozone oxidizes many organic chemical compounds, including chloramines, soaps, oils and other wastes thereby rendering them harmless to the environment. Accordingly, ozone may be used for a number of purposes, including: purification of water used for drinking, in food cleaning and processing, in ice machines, in swimming pools and spas and waste water treatment.
  • ozone is especially beneficial for breaking down certain contaminants in water, obtaining an effective concentration of ozone in water may be difficult and may represent a more expensive solution in a water treatment system.
  • ozone is a toxic and corrosive gas which is considered to be a pollutant by The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), such that special provisions must be made for the containment and removal of the excess ozone.
  • EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency
  • ozone treatments were generally combined with filtration treatments, before and/or after the ozone treatments, in order to remove larger pollutants and/or particles from the water.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,427,693 (Mausgrover), 5,711,887 (Gastman) and 6,464,877 (Mori) all teach such prior art apparatuses or systems.
  • one of the main aspects of the present invention is to provide a water treatment apparatus which comprises at least an ozone treatment module and a membrane filtration treatment module.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a water treatment apparatus which essentially saturates the water with gases prior to the membrane filtration treatment module.
  • Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide a water treatment apparatus which uses a white water creation stage during the membrane filtration treatment as a self-cleaning mechanism for the membranes.
  • Still another aspect of the present invention is to provide a water treatment apparatus wherein the cleaning of the membranes is effected in a substantially continuous manner while the apparatus is in filtration mode.
  • the aforesaid and other objectives of the present invention are realized by generally providing a novel water treatment apparatus which advantageously uses the oxidative property of ozone to purify and disinfect polluted water and which advantageously uses a white water creation stage during the passage of gas-saturated water through the membrane filters as a self-cleaning mechanism therefor.
  • the apparatus of the present invention essentially uses ozone both to purify water and to clean the membrane filters.
  • the expression “white water” designates a mixture of water and nascent gas or gases obtained by the depressurization of gas-saturated pressurized water made up of a mixture of gas or gases and water in equilibrium at a predetermined pressure.
  • the white color of the water thus obtained is caused by the formation of microbubbles and hence refers to the color of the water at the moment of the depressurization.
  • the apparatus of the present invention generally comprises a fully pressurized water treatment chain having several stages or modules.
  • the raw water after being pumped into the apparatus by a pumping unit, the raw water generally flows toward an ozone treatment module in which ozone is first injected into the raw water, generally by means of a venturi or other known means, and is then allowed a generally predetermined contacting time in a pressurized contacting chamber.
  • the contacting chamber is generally designed to allow an efficient dissolution of the ozone into the water and also to give the dissolved ozone time to react with at least a portion of the pollutants contained in the water.
  • the water exiting the contacting chamber then flows toward a degassing module.
  • the degassing module removes essentially all the excess undissolved gases (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, ozone) remaining in the water in order to provide water saturated with gases (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, ozone).
  • the degassing module also has the additional advantage of removing at least a portion of the volatile compounds which may still be present in the water. Understandably, since the undissolved gases removed from the water can comprise toxic and/or corrosive gases, it is preferable to send the removed gases to a gas treatment unit for further processing and/or destruction.
  • the gas-saturated water exiting the degassing module is then sent to the membrane filtration module for filtration treatment.
  • the particles still present in the water are removed.
  • the water is subjected to a depressurisation as it passes through the membranes. This, in turn, will cause the formation of a substantial amount of microbubbles, some of which will be formed inside the openings (e.g. pores) of the membranes and/or at the periphery of the surface thereof. The formation of the microbubbles will cause the water to turn into milky white water.
  • the microbubbles formed during the passage of the gas-saturated water through the openings of the membrane filters will generally coagulate the small particles still present in the water, will generally prevent the accumulation of particles on the surface of the membranes, will generally dislodge particles present on the surface of the membranes and/or will also generally expel particles which may have been clogging openings of the membranes.
  • the formation of microbubbles acts as an efficient self-cleaning mechanism for the membranes.
  • the filtrate water As the gas-saturated water enters the membrane filter, a portion thereof (hereinafter “the filtrate water”) actually goes through the membrane and is effectively filtered thereby.
  • the remaining portion of the gas-saturated water hereinafter “the retentate water”
  • the retentate water is generally looped back to the ozone treatment module where it is mixed with raw water and further treated by the apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an embodiment the water treatment apparatus of the present invention.
  • the water treatment apparatus of the present invention generally comprises three stages or modules: an ozone treatment module 100 , a degassing module 200 and a membrane filtration module 300 .
  • the ozone treatment module 100 is generally responsible for the injection of ozone into the water and for the mixing and contacting of the ozone and the water.
  • the degassing module 200 located downstream the ozone treatment module 100 , is used to remove essentially all the non-dissolved gases (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, ozone) which may still remain in the water following the ozone treatment module 100 .
  • the degassing module 200 is also used to provide gas-saturated water to the membrane filtration module 300 located thereafter.
  • the membrane filtration module 300 filters the ozone treated water with a membrane filter or a plurality of membrane filters in order to remove remaining solid particles and pollutants still present in the water.
  • the pumping unit 11 generally provides the necessary pressure and flow to the raw water for the proper functioning of the apparatus 10 .
  • the pumping unit 11 provides between 100 and 200 psig of pressure to the raw water.
  • the raw water Downstream of the pumping unit 11 , the raw water is split between a first pipe 109 and a second pipe 119 .
  • the first pipe 109 leads to an ozone injecting unit 110 such as, but not limited to, a first venturi, where ozone gas in injected into the raw water.
  • ozone injecting unit 110 such as, but not limited to, a first venturi, where ozone gas in injected into the raw water.
  • the “gas” effectively injected into the raw water is more or less a mixture of ozone (e.g. ⁇ 10-12%), oxygen (e.g. ⁇ 83-86%) and nitrogen (e.g. ⁇ 4-5%).
  • Ozone injecting unit 110 is connected to an ozone generating module 400 .
  • Ozone generating modules 400 are generally known in the art (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,014) and will not be described any further. Different ozone generating modules 400 can be used for the purpose of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to any particular ozone generating modules 400 .
  • the second pipe 119 leads to a retentate water injecting unit 120 such as, but not limited to, a second venturi.
  • the retentate water injecting unit 120 injects a portion of the retentate water coming from the membrane filter or filters 310 into the raw water.
  • the membrane filtration module 300 will be described further below.
  • the two flows of raw water exiting the ozone injecting unit 110 and the retentate water injecting unit 120 are recombined via pipes 111 and 121 respectively and then directed to a static mixer 130 wherein the raw water containing ozone and the raw water containing retentate water are thoroughly mixed.
  • the water exiting the static mixer 130 is thus essentially a mixture of raw water, retentate water, ozone (dissolved and non-dissolved) and other gases (e.g. oxygen and nitrogen) (dissolved and non-dissolved).
  • the water flows into a pressurized contacting chamber or reactor 140 .
  • the pressure inside the contacting chamber 140 varies between 20 and 120 psig.
  • the contacting chamber 140 is configured to provide an optimal mass transfer between the ozone and the water and an optimal contacting time between the dissolved ozone and the pollutant present in the water.
  • the colours and odours of the water are reduced, the pathogens are mostly neutralized and/or inactivated and the organic (e.g. oils and greases) and inorganic (e.g. metals) particles and pollutants are mostly oxidised.
  • the contacting chamber 140 can be provided in different shapes and/or configurations. Nevertheless, in order to reduce the footprint of the apparatus 10 , a preferred configuration for the contacting chamber 140 would be one or more coiled pipes. Still, other configurations are possible; the present invention is not so limited.
  • an ozone sensor 150 is disposed downstream of the contacting chamber 140 in order to measure the level of dissolved ozone still remaining in the water.
  • the level of dissolved ozone remaining in the water after an ozone treatment is generally used by governmental regulatory bodies to determine if the ozone treated water is compliant with their water regulations.
  • the level of dissolved ozone downstream of the contacting chamber 140 should be between 0.3 and 1 mg/L.
  • the ozone sensor 150 is in electronic communication with the ozone generating module 400 , directly or via a central control system (not shown), in order to feed the ozone measurements back to the ozone generating module 400 whereby the ozone generating module 400 can increase or reduce its generation of ozone accordingly.
  • a pressure regulating unit 160 such as, but not limited to, a sustaining valve, is disposed downstream thereof.
  • the water exiting the pressure regulating unit 160 effectively exits the ozone treatment module 100 and enters the degassing module 200 .
  • the degassing module 200 mainly comprises a degasser unit 210 and a gas treatment unit 220 .
  • the water exiting the ozone treatment module 100 is mainly composed of ozone-treated water, ozone (dissolved and non-dissolved) and other gases (e.g. oxygen and nitrogen) (dissolved and non-dissolved).
  • gases e.g. oxygen and nitrogen
  • As the water circulates through the degasser 210 essentially all the undissolved gases (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen and ozone) are removed. Additionally, should the water still contain undissolved volatile compounds, these compounds are also preferably removed from the water.
  • the removed gases are preferably sent to a gas treatment unit 220 for further treatment (e.g. neutralisation or destruction).
  • the ozone-treated water is now essentially saturated with gases (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen and ozone).
  • gases e.g. oxygen, nitrogen and ozone.
  • This ozone-treated gas-saturated water is then sent to the last module of the apparatus 10 , namely the membrane filtration module 300 , where it will undergo a membrane filtration treatment.
  • the membrane filtration module 300 generally comprises one or more membrane filters 310 (only one is shown for clarity). Should more than one membrane filter 310 be used in the present apparatus 10 , they would generally be disposed in parallel whereby each membrane filter 310 would filter a portion of the gas-saturated water. Membrane filters 310 are generally known in the art and shall not be described any further. Still, positive pressure membrane filters 310 having openings corresponding with micro-filtration and ultra-filtration are preferred for the proper functioning of the present invention.
  • the gas-saturated water enters the membrane filter 310 via the filter inlet 311 , it is separated into a first portion (e.g. ⁇ 90%) which will undergo membrane filtration and a second portion (e.g. ⁇ 10%) which will not undergo membrane filtration. This second portion of the water is instead directly sent to the retentate water outlet 312 of the filter 310 .
  • the pressure drop varies between 10 and 80 psig.
  • an important quantity of microbubbles composed mainly of oxygen, ozone and nitrogen, is formed substantially simultaneously.
  • the presence of these microbubbles generally gives a milky white colour the water, hence the term “white water”.
  • microbubbles are formed either near the surface of the membranes or inside the openings thereof.
  • the microbubbles formed near the surface of the membranes generally act as a shield preventing particles remaining in the water from sticking to the membranes. Additionally, some of these microbubbles effectively dislodge at least a portion of the particles which may have accumulated on the surface of the membranes.
  • the microbubbles formed inside the openings generally prevent the clogging thereof and/or can dislodge particles which may be stuck therein. Finally, the remaining microbubbles tend to coagulate particles still present in the water and to bring these coagulated particles to the top of the filter 310 , near the retentate outlet 312 from which they are sent back for further treatment.
  • microbubbles thus serves as a self-cleaning mechanism for the membrane or membranes of the membrane filter 310 . Furthermore, since the passage of gas-saturated water through the openings of the membranes is essentially continuous, the membranes are subjected to an essentially continuous cleaning, thereby substantially reducing the need to mechanically and/or chemically clean the membranes of the filter 310 .
  • the first portion of the water now essentially clean, exits the filter 310 through the filtrate water outlet 313 and then exits the apparatus 10 .
  • a second portion of the gas-saturated water is directly sent toward the retentate outlet 312 of the membrane filter 310 .
  • this second portion of the gas-saturated water flows toward the retentate outlet 312 , it captures and carries along undissolved gases (e.g. coalesced microbubbles) and a portion of the particles which have accumulated in the filter 310 (e.g. coagulated particles).
  • the retentate outlet 312 being fluidly connected to the retentate water injecting unit 120 via a return pipe 15 , this second portion of the gas-saturated water, now containing undissolved gases and particles, is effectively returned to the ozone treatment module 100 of the apparatus 10 where it will be treated along with the raw water as explained hereinabove. As this retentate water is recycled through the apparatus 10 , the undissolved gases and the particles contained therein will be further treated and/or removed from the water.
  • the apparatus 10 of the present invention not only continuously treats and filters raw water, it also further continuously treats and filters pollutants and particles which have been removed from the membrane filter 310 and which are recycled through the apparatus 10 .
  • present apparatus 10 has been described as a stand-alone apparatus, the skilled addressee would understand that the present apparatus 10 could form part of a larger filtration system.
  • the present invention is not so limited.
