  • Apparatus for removal of solid, chemical and bacterial waste from water
    Patent number: 5308480
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-stage, multi-phase apparatus for the rapid and economical purification of waste water which may contain solid wastes, and which does contain chemical and bacterial wastes. The waste water is first intimately intermixed with a gaseous oxidant comprising ozone and oxygen to remove solids, then resaturated with oxidant for the breakdown and destruction of chemical and bacterial wastes. Thereafter a portion of the treated water is recirculated through the system for retreatment while the remainder is first treated with ultraviolet light and then degassed prior to discharge from the system in its purified state.
