Abstract: A vapor compression distillation system (10) is provided and includes a fluid inlet (12) for receiving a fluid, a fluid outlet (14) for a distillate that has been distilled from the fluid, a heat exchanger (16) connected to the fluid inlet (12) and the fluid outlet (14) to transfer heat from the distillate to the fluid; and an integrated motor/compressor unit (18) connected to the heat exchanger (16) to receive vaporized distillate therefrom and to supply pressurized distillate thereto. The system 10 may further include a coolant system (20) connected to the integrated motor/compressor (18) to supply a coolant flow thereto. The system (10) may also include an air oil mist system (22) that is connected to the integrated motor/compressor unit (18) to supply an air oil mist thereto for bearing lubrication and cooling.

Abstract: An improved portable reverse osmosis water purification plant includes a frame 10 with a storage area 20 thereon adapted to receive a feedwater pump 76 and a product water pump 78. A diesel engine 44 is located on the frame 10 along with a high pressure pump 52 which is driven thereby. A primary filter 70 is located on the frame 10 and is connected to the feedwater pump 76 to receive water to be purified therefrom. A secondary filter 72 is also located on the frame 10 and is of the cartridge type. The same delivers water to be purified to the high pressure pump 52, which in turn provides the water to be purified to membrane/pressure vessels 60 located on the frame.
