  • Patent number: 6699381
    Abstract: It is a compact water purification/sterilization method and its device with a high electrolytic efficiency in which even though it is used continuously for a long period of time in order to purify and sterilize water with low electrical conductivity such as the water from a swimming pool, bathtub, pond, 24-hour bath, farming tank or AC, there is no deterioration or breakage of the electrodes or deformation of the plastic case for the electrolyzing device due to heat, and even if the electrical flow per electrode surface area is increased, it provides superior long-term endurance performance. Barrel-shaped (cylindrical-shaped) anodes and cathodes are arranged alternately in a concentric manner in layers at given inter-electrode intervals. The anode is a ferrite rod with a long hole along the center axis direction or a ferrite pipe, and in the hole, heating so that it has fluidity, or mercury, which is liquid at ordinary temperature, is filled, in advance, fills a low-melting point metal.

  • Patent number: 6555013
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating an aqueous-containing sludge in which the sludge is filtered on an elongate moving sheet of a water permeable unwoven fabric on paper. The moving sheet is folded and compressed between rollers whereby to express water therefrom. The folded moving sheet and contained sludge is dried, and the dried sheet and sludge is incinerated. Combustion heat from the incineration step is used in the drying step.

  • Patent number: 6527922
    Abstract: Barrel-shaped anodes and cathodes are alternately arranged in layers in a concentric manner with space between the electrodes. Anodes are ferrite poles with a long hole along the center axis or a pipe, and the hole is filled with a metal with a low melting point heated to the temperature at which it has some fluidity. Alternatively the hole is filled with mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature, and then a conductive metal terminal main body is inserted so that it has a sufficient contact area between the terminal and the ferrite electrode,resulting in improved conductivity at the contact point. Consequently, a compact electrolyzer with superior electrolysis performance that is long lasting, even if the electrical current per electrode area is increased, is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20020190009
    Abstract: A method for treating sludge in which sludge is poured onto an advancing sheet of unwoven fabric or paper. The sheet carrying the sludge is pressed and heated to dehydrate the sludge utilizing waste heat of exhaust heat and radiated heat of an incineration process. The sheet carrying dehydrated sludge is helically wound on the outer circumference of a drying cylinder, and incinerated to supply heat for drying.
