  • Publication number: 20260132067
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a deployable water treatment system is configured to be placed on a mobile trailer for treating water. The system comprises: a UV-C disinfection system to apply ultraviolet (UV) light to the water; an electro-chlorination apparatus using electricity to convert the water into a sodium hypochlorite solution; particulate filtration modules for particulate filtration of the water; a granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration device to filter the water; and a water quality analysis system. The water quality analysis system includes a water sensor flow cell having sensors to measure water quality parameters of the water to produce data, a data processor to digitize the data for the water quality parameters, and a transmitter to transmit the data from the data processor to a flow controller to be used to control a flow of the water to recirculate the water though the deployable water treatment system or not.

  • Patent number: 10288595
    Abstract: The present invention provides a water quality analysis system capable of making multiple simultaneous measurements of different water quality parameters and saving or transmitting this data for analysis. A housing surrounds a data processor and a water sensor flow cell. The flow cell incorporates a channel through which a stream of water flows. Multiple probe bores within the flow cell house different sensor probes used to measure different water quality parameters of the stream. The data processor receives and digitizes data for the different water quality parameters.

  • Publication number: 20190102913
    Abstract: The invention is a method and system which uses photogrammetric data and functions to perform image-based deconstruction of 3D point cloud data sets. These standard image formats from associated metadata can be easily serialized, transmitted, and subsequently reconstructed using established stereo photogrammetric methods.

  • Patent number: 10077197
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high concentration bleach generator apparatus and a system and method for its use. The apparatus includes a housing containing brine, anionic and cationic chambers. Electrodes in the anionic and cationic chambers separate salt from brine into hydrogen gas, chlorine gas and an alkali and alkaline hydroxide mass. The hydrogen gas vents through a hydrogen selective membrane. A pump conveys the chlorine gas to the cationic chamber, where it combines with the alkali and alkaline hydroxide mass to form a bleach solution. Users can draw off the bleach and use it to disinfect water. The system also provides a system housing, a larger brine reservoir and a data processor allowing a user to select a desired bleach concentration for production.
