Abstract: An electrochemical oxidation reactor includes rotatable electrodes inside a reactor vessel. The electrodes treat liquid within the reactor and are mounted to support plates, which in turn are mounted on each of two independently-driven shafts. The plates are attached to each other in a spaced relationship so that a gap is formed therebetween. The gap is sized to receive liquid to be treated so that liquid located within the gap will react with the electrodes. The shafts are rotatable at equal or different relative rotational speeds and directions. Additionally, each shaft may be independently linearly displaced in an oscillatory movement at equal or different frequencies. The relative shaft rotation, direction and axial vibration translate similar movements to the electrodes and such movement generates turbulence to the liquid located within the gap. The turbulence increases the interaction between liquid and the electrodes.

Abstract: An electrochemical oxidation reactor includes rotatable electrodes inside a reactor vessel. The electrodes are mounted to support plates, which in turn are mounted on shafts. The plates are attached to each other in a spaced relationship so that a gap is formed therebetween. The plates are each electrically insulated from each other. The electrodes are mounted to the inside surfaces of these plates, inside the gap. The gap is sized to receive liquid to be treated so that liquid located within the gap will react with the electrodes. An electrical charge is applied to each shaft so that a dielectric is formed across the gap within the fluid located in the gap. According to a first embodiment, an electrochemical reactor includes containing two spaced electrode support plates. According to another embodiment, an electrochemical reactor includes several spaced electrode support plates.

Abstract: A dynamic rotational electrochemical reactor, system and process, for treatment of liquids and gases, can function as a rotational electrochemical-coagulation-reactor or a rotational electrochemical-oxidation reactor. An electrochemical reactor can include a reactor vessel with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; a reactor body, having an inlet turbine, such that the reactor body is rotatably attached to a drive shaft within the reactor vessel, the drive shaft connected to a plate-stack comprising electrode plates; and a voltage source connected to the electrodes, wherein the plate-stack includes angled channels for accepting the fluid, such that the fluid flows between sets of positive and negative electrode plates. The plate-stack can be connected with conductive studs and support studs, and can include pairs of intermediate electrode plates, mounted on top and bottom sides of an intermediate plastic support plate, and connected via an electric conductive spring.

Abstract: A membrane housing-module includes flange adaptors, a permeate discharge tube, membrane pipe plates, and a flange adapter tee connection tube, such that the housing module forms a seal between a concentrate phase and a permeate phase, and a plurality of glue surfaces are arranged so as to provide sufficient structural integrity to the membrane housing-module, such that when one or more membranes are inserted therein, the membrane housing assembly is rigid, so as to prevent the membranes from being subjected to lateral forces or movement during use. A by-pass control-tube, with an increasing open area, can be configured inside the permeate discharge tube, to reduce a pressure drop over the by-pass control tube, along a path of permeate-filtrate flow. Methods of manufacturing and using a membrane housing-module are also disclosed.
