Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a system and method for separating fluid or fiuidizable components, more specifically, in a preferred, embodiment the present invention relates to a new and useful system and method for applying radio frequency energy to salinated water or waste water to desalinate or purify the feed water.
  • Desalination also known as desalinisation, is a water treatment process that removes salt, other minerals or chemical compounds from impure water to produce potable water.
  • the two predominant technological approaches used worldwide in commercial desalination are distillation and membrane separation.
  • Multi-Stage Flash is the predominant distillation process that accounts for approximately 71 % of the total installed desalination capacity from all sources while reverse osmosis accounts for approximately 19% of the total installed desalination capacity. These two processes make up approximately 86 percent of used technologies while the remaining 14 percent is made up of multi-effect, electrodialysis and vapor compression.
  • Distillation works by heating seawater to produce steam, which is then condensed to produce water with a low salt concentration and few of the other impurities contained in the original water. Distillation works well but requires large quantities of heat energy, and costs have been prohibitive for nearly all but the wealthiest nations, such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. This method does not require the use of large amounts of energy and can be considerably cost effective.
  • Reverse osmosis does offer energy savings because it uses pressure to push saltwater through a membrane to recover fresh water.
  • the permeable membranes have relatively short life spans and are highly susceptible to contaminants in the source water, particularly chlorine and fine silt.
  • the membranes tend to become “fouled” or “scaled” over time by organic and inorganic substances present in the water.
  • new and improved membranes such as thin composite membranes are being introduced to help solve such problems, the system and method of the present invention do not incorporate equipment that introduces these types of problems to the desalination process.
  • Another problem with reverse osmosis that the present invention will improve upon is the process' use and performance in places like the Middle East and the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf water has more salt than ocean water, therefore making desalination more difficult to complete using traditional methods. In addition, the warm Gulf water reduces the useful life of the reverse osmosis membranes.
  • the technology of the present invention can provide a unit that does not require as much maintenance as conventional desalination units because it has considerably less equipment than a reverse osmosis unit requires for producing potable water.
  • the installed cost of a system and method of the present invention will often be significantly less than the equivalent reverse osmosis unit.
  • the system of the present invention may tolerate small amounts of silt and low cost oxidizing biocides such as chlorine and may also require much less energy than reverse osmosis since a high feed pressure is not required.
  • Graham Tek appears to disclose the use of a coil embedded in a reverse osmosis membrane.
  • a radio frequency of 2 KHz appears to be used to descale the reverse osmosis membrane.
  • Use of a high heat RF wave would melt the reverse osmosis membranes.

  • the system and. method of the present invention act to separate fluid or fiuidizabie components.

  • Embodiments of the invention provide a process that utilizes the scientific principles of radio frequency energy and atomic particle resonance to affect separate targeted components from feed water in order to produce potable water.
  • One main application of the invention is in the desalination field but the principles disclosed herein may also be applicable to many other separation technologies that may include but are not limited to most gas, liquid/liquid, and. fluidizable solids separations.

  • the present invention uses the field of radio frequency technology to provide a system for separation of one or more components from a mixture, solution, suspension, and the like.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système écoénergétique et un procédé de dessalement et de purification d'eau ou de séparation d'autres composants fluidisables. Plusieurs antennes sont disposées juste au-dessous de la surface d'eau d'alimentation, les différentes antennes étant configurées pour générer des radiofréquences spécifiques aux fréquences de vibration à la fois de l'hydrogène et de l'oxygène. Les radiofréquences spécifiques décomposent ou libèrent l'hydrogène et l'oxygène de l'eau d'alimentation, l'hydrogène et l'oxygène libérés passant à travers une plaque de condensation ayant plusieurs nano-trous et jusque dans une chambre supérieure. Des micro-ondes peuvent également être utilisées en combinaison avec les radiofréquences pour compléter et améliorer la libération des composants hydrogène et oxygène de l'alimentation de molécules d'eau d'alimentation. L'hydrogène et l'oxygène libérés peuvent se condenser à l'intérieur de la chambre supérieure et plusieurs ventilateurs soufflent l'hydrogène et l'oxygène libérés et/ou l'eau nouvellement condensée dans un élément de collecte.
