  • Patent number: 7416660
    Abstract: A method and system of ozone treatment diverts a portion of water from a flow of water in a conduit; injects an ozone-containing gas into the portion to provide an ozonated portion; recombines the ozonated portion with the flow of water in the conduit; and regulates the diverted portion to provide a minimum diverted portion flow rate according to flow in the conduit and proportion of ozone in the injected gas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2005
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2008
    Assignee: Nutech 03, Inc.
    Inventors: Johannes van Leeuwen, Michael D. Jennings, Richard A. Mueller, Jack H. Robinson
  • Patent number: 7407592
    Abstract: A method and system of ozone treatment diverts a portion of water from a flow of water in a conduit, injects ozone into the portion to provide an ozonated portion, and recombines the ozonated portion with the flow of water in the conduit. Another method and system identifies a species-destructive reaction product of ozone with a water constituent, determines a life of the reaction product, and contacts ozone with a water containing the species for a period determined according to the determined life of the reaction product.

  • Patent number: 7402253
    Abstract: A method and system of ozone treatment diverts a portion of water from a flow of water in a conduit; injects an ozone-containing gas into the portion to provide an ozonated portion; recombines the ozonated portion with the flow of water in the conduit; and controls and regulates the diverted portion to provide a minimum diverted portion flow rate according to flow in the conduit and proportion of ozone in the injected gas.

  • Patent number: 7273562
    Abstract: A target biokill of species for water to be discharged from a ballast tank of a sea faring vessel is determined. A diverted portion of sea water is regulated prior to charging the water into the ballast tank. Regulation of the diverted portion of water and a rate of injection of the ozone into the portion are adjusted to attain the target biokill. Then ozone at the determined rate into the regulated diverted portion to attain the target biokill when the portion is recombined into the water for charging to the ballast tank.

  • Patent number: 6869540
    Abstract: A method to treat ballast water comprises injecting ozone into water loading into a sea faring vessel prior to charging the water into a ballast tank; and charging the ozone injected water into the ballast tank. A system for treating ballast water comprises a sea faring vessel including at least one ballast tank; an ozone generator that generates ozone, a ballast water conduit that uptakes water through a loading port of a sea faring vessel and conducts the water to load the ballast tank; and an ozone feed line that injects ozone from the generator into water in the conduit at an injection point located upstream to an intersection of the conduit with the ballast tank.

  • Patent number: 5926799
    Abstract: In a computerized linens management system for a hotel, room attendants place soiled linens in bags identified with corresponding room numbers. All soiled items placed in each room bag and all linen items missing from the room are recorded on a ticket placed in or affixed to the bag. The soiled and listed items are entered into the computer, room by room, permitting the computer, on command, to provide a laundry shipping list and a replenishment list showing linen replenishment requirements for linen closets serving specified rooms. Daily entry of room occupancy status, updated as each room is made up, permits the computer to provide a list of current make-up status of all rooms as well as individual room assignment lists for respective room attendants. Clean linen items returned from the laundry are counted and the count information is also entered into the computer to permit a comparison with the corresponding previous shipping list so as to determine shortages and overages.
