Abstract

Le procédé de distribution d'eau pour meubles comprend un processus de récupération d'eau, un processus STT d'eau et un processus d'évacuation. Le processus de récupération d'eau : a) convertit l'eau contenue en phase gazeuse dans l'atmosphère en eau en phase liquide; b) traite initialement l'eau en phase liquide convertie pour éliminer les micro-organismes et autres contaminations chimiques; et c) transporte l'eau en phase liquide initialement traitée vers le processus STT d'eau. Le processus STT d'eau : a) reçoit et stocke l'eau (en phase liquide) traitée initialement provenant du processus de récupération d'eau; b) traite ensuite l'eau stockée au moyen d'un traitement final pour éliminer des micro-organismes et d'autres contaminations chimiques; et, c) transporte l'eau stockée traitée vers le processus d'évacuation. Le processus d'évacuation : a) reçoit l'eau du processus STT d'eau après le traitement final; et, b) régule l'évacuation de l'eau reçue à partir du processus STT d'eau.
