Water Reclamation Process

US Patent:
4211652, Jul 8, 1980
Filed:
Aug 23, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/936064
Inventors:
Robert C. Thomas - Newport Beach CA
International Classification:
C02B 120, C02C 502
US Classification:
210 44
Abstract:
Dirty process water collected from a process unit is held in a raw water holding tank. Air and process chemicals enter the system in this tank. Water from the tank passes at a uniform rate through a flotation cell where solids are frothed by flocculation and aeration and removed. Makeup water saturated with air and at a lower temperature than the process water liberates air in the cell as part of the aeration. Air dissolved in the tank provides further aeration in the cell. Water from the cell is held in a treated water holding tank and uniformly withdrawn from the tank to a filter for the removal of more solids. Filtered water is stored in a filtered water storage vessel for use in the process facility. Heat exchange keeps the filtered water at required temperature. Water discharged from the system to a sanitary sewer may have various degrees of purity.

Water Reclamation Process

US Patent:
4211651, Jul 8, 1980
Filed:
Aug 23, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/935882
Inventors:
Robert C. Thomas - Newport Beach CA
International Classification:
C02B 120, C02C 502
US Classification:
210 44
Abstract:
Dirty process water is collected from a process unit and introduced into a raw water holding tank. Water from the tank is passed at a uniform rate through a flotation cell where solids are frothed by flocculation and aeration and removed. The flocculating agent is a short chain cationic polymer. Water from the flotation cell is sterilized and then introduced into a treated water holding tank where it is withdrawn at a uniform rate and filtered to remove more solids. The filtered water is stored in a filtered water storage vessel for its use in the process facility. Heat exchange keeps the filtered water at required temperature. Water discharged from the system to a sanitary sewer may have various degrees of purity.
