Patents by Inventor Gun Myung LEE

Gun Myung LEE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11787718
    Abstract: A zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment apparatus is provided. The ZLD wastewater treatment apparatus includes a concentrator configured to concentrate wastewater to produce a primary concentrate, an evaporation crystallizer configured to concentrate and crystallize the primary concentrate to produce a secondary concentrate, a cooling crystallizer configured to cool the secondary concentrate to generate crystals from the secondary concentrate, a dehydrator configured to separate the product produced by the cooling crystallizer into a solid component and a liquid component, and a cooling system configured to cool the secondary concentrate introduced into the cooling crystallizer, wherein the liquid component produced by the dehydrator heat exchanges with a cooling medium in the cooling system and returns to the evaporation crystallizer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10857478
    Abstract: A stacked type falling film evaporator includes a first evaporator, a second evaporator, a first vapor recovering device, a second vapor recovering device and a vapor recompressor. The first evaporator and the second evaporator respectively have evaporation tubes of a length of 5 m to 10 m, and are stacked in such a manner that wastewater passes through the first evaporator and the second evaporator in order. The first vapor recovering device collects vapor generated from the wastewater in the first evaporator and supplies the collected vapor to the second evaporator. The second vapor recovering device collects vapor generated from the wastewater in the second evaporator and supplies the collected vapor to the first evaporator. The vapor recompressor compresses the vapor collected in the second vapor recovering device before the vapor is supplied to the first evaporator.
