Abstract: A desalinization system for converting a saltwater solution to a purified water composition is provided. The desalinization system (1000) has a primary tank (40) which contains a heated silicone composition within a heated silicone composition zone (210) and water globules (30) which pass through the heated silicone zone (14) to form an initially treated or initially heated water zone (60) within the primary tank (40). The initially heated water zone (60) then is fluidly displaced through a heating conduit (115) for passage into a secondary tank (120) in the form of steam (180). The steam (180) then condenses within a condensation zone (200) and forms a purified water zone (140) within secondary tank (120). The water within the purified water zone (140) of the secondary tank (120) may be removed through a water output line (150) from secondary tank (120).

Abstract: A system and method for separating immiscible fluids are provided. The system (10) includes a hollow vessel (50) which receives a mixture (20) of a first fluid (40) and a second fluid (60), which are immiscible with respect to one another. The density of the first fluid (40) is less than the density of the second fluid (60). The mixture (20) is pumped into the hollow vessel (50) by a pump (110) where it is received by a primary tube (80). The primary tube (80) is immersed in a separation medium (70). The separation medium has a density greater than the density of the first fluid (40) and less than the density of the second fluid (60). The second fluid (60) settles out of the separation medium (70) and the first fluid (40) rises above the separation medium (70). The first fluid (40) and the second fluid (60) can then be drained separately from the hollow vessel (50).

Abstract: A liquid purification system (10) and method for decontaminating microbe infested liquid (14) is provided. The liquid purification system (10) includes a primary tank (18) which contains both a purifying liquid composition (24) and an initially treated microbe infested liquid (44) with the liquids being immiscible with respect to each other. A heating element (30) is immersed in the primary tank (18) for heating the purifying liquid composition (24). Microbe infested liquid (14) passes through a secondary conduit (16) and is inserted into the primary tank (18) where the microbe infested liquid (14) is heated by contact with the heat purifying liquid composition (24) and descends to a lower portion of the primary tank (18). A primary conduit (34) is mounted within the primary tank (18) and secondarily heats the initially treated microbe infested liquid (44) to provide a purified liquid composition.

Abstract: A generally vertical tube communicates at its lower end with a reservoir containing the heavier of two liquids to be separated (water in the case of oil and water separation). A vacuum system is used to create at the top of this tube a lower pressure than at the bottom. The mixture of the liquids to be separated is injected into the tube at an intermediate location between top and bottom with relatively low velocity and turbulence, and close to, but below the level of the interface between the two liquids, which becomes established as they separate. The interface level location is maintained by controlling the top-to-bottom pressure difference and the evacuation rate of the lighter liquid.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for separating immiscible liquids having different specific gravities. Although the disclosure illustrates the invention by showing its application to the separation of oil and water, the invention may be used to separate many other immiscible liquids having different specific gravities. A column of a liquid is supported by vacuum in a vertical column partially submerged in a reservoir containing a first liquid. A mixture of first and second liquids is continuously injected into a separation vessel disposed within the column. Due to their difference in specific gravities, the lighter second fluid will ascend to occupy the upper region of the column while the heavier first fluid will occupy the lower region until equilibrium is achieved. As the mixture continues to enter the system, equilibrium is maintained; the liquids of the upper and lower phases are displaced by equal volumes of incoming liquids.
