Patent number: 10287182Abstract: Method for controlling a water treatment installation having a supply, an ozonization stage, a transfer stage, a biological filter and a discharge having the following steps: measuring a first parameter set in the supply, wherein, a measurement for a first concentration of micro-contaminations and/or a nitrite concentration is determined; controlling the ozonization stage in such a manner that an ozone supply is carried out in a preselected ratio to the measured first parameter set; measuring a second parameter set in the transfer stage, wherein, a measurement for a second concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; controlling the ozonization; measuring a third parameter set in the discharge, wherein, with reference to the third parameter set, a measurement of a third concentration of micro-contaminations is determined; if the measurement for the concentration of micro-contaminations exceeds a predetermined maximum value in the discharge, increasing the ozone supply.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: XYLEM IP MANAGEMENT S.À R.L.Inventors: Achim Ried, Arne Wieland, Ivan Zhu

Patent number: 7351373Abstract: The invention relates to the oxidative treatment of bulk material in a vessel. The bulk material to be treated is placed in the vessel, and is humidified therein with water or an aqueous solution to such an extent that it can be treated with an O2/O3 gas mixture in such a way that the desired end product has a determined pH value or a determined solubility or a determined polarity or a determined solubility behaviour and/or particle size distribution. The inventive method enables bulk material to be very effectively oxidised by means of minimal amounts of ozone in an O2/O3 gas mixture, in such a way that between 70 and 100% of the ozone parts enter into a reaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2002Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignees: Gebrueder Loedige Maschinebau-Gesellschaft mbH, Wedeco Umwelttechnologie GmbHInventors: Achim Ried, Martin Kampmann, Frank Spranzel
