  • Apparatus and method for disinfecting water
    Patent number: 9061927
    Abstract: An apparatus for on-site production of disinfectant/oxidizing products, arranged directly in the fluid to be processed, and a method for oxidation/disinfection of the affected water in order to avoid microbiological proliferation phenomena, which can cause hygienic and sanitary problems or problems of failed efficiency of systems. The apparatus for disinfecting water with on-site production of oxidizing/disinfecting products at the desired concentrations includes storage tanks for chemical reagents, pumps and pipes for connection, and a source of disinfectant and oxidizing products that is immersed in the water to be disinfected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 16, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2015
    Inventors: Mario Belluati, Giorgio Colombi, Nicola Donnini, Giuseppe Petrucci, Massimiliano Rosellini
  • Electrostatic particle exposure system and method of exposing a target material to small particles
    Patent number: 8178341
    Abstract: A system for exposing a target material to small particles. The system includes an exposure chamber that receives the target material. A stream of charged particles is directed via an inlet into the exposure chamber toward the target material. One or more electrodes are located relative to the target material and the inlet, and are electrically charged, so as to cause at least some of the charged particles to impact upon the target material. The system can be used to expose the target material to small, for example, nanoscale, particles in a gas environment.
