US Classification:
210192, 210244, 204194, 204232, 204271
Abstract:
A portable oxidant generator for generating oxidants suitable for sterilizing contaminated drinking water, thereby providing potable water. The oxidant generator optionally comprises an electrolytic cell and a power supply or source for powering the generator. In a preferred embodiment, the cell holds an electrolyte solution such that the solution contacts an anode and a cathode. The power supply provides electrical charge that is passed to the electrolyte solution and/or other electrolyte substance. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power supply includes an energy storage device that is charged to predetermined voltage. The energy storage device is preferably charged by a generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The present invention optionally includes an electrolyte storage compartment in the cap. The present invention also optionally includes a total dissolved solids measuring device to determine if the water to be treated requires reverse osmosis filtration to remove high concentrations of ions the water to be treated.
Carbonate Scale Detector
US Patent:
2008025, Oct 23, 2008
Filed:
Mar 20, 2008
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
MIOX Corporation - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01N 21/59
US Classification:
356432
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for detecting carbonate scale. An energy emitting device transmits energy through one optical window, through a fluid stream, and out through a second optical window where the energy is detected by an energy receiving device. As scale, such as that due to carbonate present in the fluid, accumulates on the wetted surface of the optical windows, the transmission of the energy through the optical windows is obscured. The optical windows may optionally be coated and electrically charged to promote the formation of carbonate scale on the wetted surface of the window. The optical windows can be cleaned by reversing their polarity. By correlating the rate of energy intensity reduction to carbonate scale formation, the concentration of carbonate in the fluid stream can be determined. The carbonate detector can be used to alarm, shutdown, or control operation of equipment that may be adversely affected by the presence of carbonate in the fluid stream. Alternatively the present invention can detect scale formation on an electrode or other electrolytic cell component by analyzing light reflected from that component.

International Classification:
C25F 1/00, C25F 7/00, C25B 9/00
US Classification:
205687, 204242
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for a low maintenance, high reliability on-site electrolytic generator incorporating automatic cell monitoring for contaminant film buildup, as well as automatically removing or cleaning the contaminant film. This method and apparatus preferably does not require human intervention to clean. For high current density cells, cleaning is preferably performed by reversing the polarity of the electrodes and applying a lower current density to the electrodes. A second lower current density power supply may be used for reverse polarity cleaning. Electrolyte flow is preferably monitored and automatically adjusted.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for electrolytically controlling the formation of scale and biofilm in water purification and other systems. An anode is deposited on or disposed on or adjacent to a surface, such as that of a quartz UV tube, providing a low pH environment which inhibits the formation of carbonate scale and biofilm.
Membrane Cycle Cleaning
US Patent:

Filed:
Dec 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/329416
Inventors:
Rodney E. Herrington - Albuquerque NM, US
Assignee:
MIOX Corporation - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
C25F 1/00, G01N 27/26
US Classification:
205687, 204400, 204276, 2042751
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for cleaning a membrane system by using electrolysis to replenish the quantity and quality of the disinfectant solution. An electrolytic cell is preferably mounted in a recirculation piping line in connection with the chlorine-containing vat that is used to clean membranes. The electrolytic cell converts chloride produced in the membrane cleaning process to chlorine or other oxidants, thereby replenishing the cleaning solution and enabling it to be recycled.

International Classification:
C02F 1/46
US Classification:
205701, 205742, 205746, 204266, 204278
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electrolytic cell that is completely sealed during the electrolysis operation during production of oxidant. Gasses generated within the electrolysis operation, primarily hydrogen that is liberated at the cathode surface, increase the pressure within the cell, and the gas pressure is ultimately utilized to expel the oxidant from the cell chamber.
