Abstract: A reactor system for treating contaminated water is disclosed. The reactor system includes a reactor vessel having first and second end portions and an internal reactor volume defined by interior surfaces of the reactor vessel. A fluoropolymer coating is applied over at least a portion of the interior surfaces of the reactor vessel. The reactor system also includes a water inlet disposed in the first end portion and a water outlet disposed in the second end portion. At least one ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) is included and disposed so as to project ultraviolet light into the reactor vessel. A plurality of photo-catalyst substrates are also disposed within the internal reactor volume of the reactor vessel. Each of these substrates includes a coating of titanium dioxide applied to an outer surface of a substrate. A method for remediating contaminated water is also disclosed.

Abstract: The flyweights of a governor of the general kind having magnetised flyweights and a field coil for modifying the bias of the flyweights, are magnetised by applying a voltage pulse to the coil when the governor is stationary.
