  • Publication number: 20200338500
    Abstract: A reverse osmosis main plant which may receive non-potable water and discharge out permeate through a permeate out line and concentrate through a concentrate line is disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 8, 2020
    Publication date: October 29, 2020
    Inventor: Mark Malmquist
  • Patent number: 10138146
    Abstract: A brine filtration device disposable at a bottom portion of a brine storage tank has inner and outer tubes having a plurality of fine slits in order to mechanically trap any large undissolved salt crystals that may be entrained within a sodium chloride solution. A plurality of beads are disposed between the inner and outer tubes to cause the sodium chloride solution to change direction (i.e., cause turbulence) which further promotes or facilitates dissolution of any undissolved salt crystals entrained within the sodium chloride solution. The sodium chloride solution continues to flow through the slits of the inner tube which further traps or catches any undissolved salt crystals. Additional changes in flow direction of the sodium chloride solution are also contemplated to further increase or facilitate dissolution of undissolved salt crystals entrained in the sodium chloride solution.

  • Patent number: 8523425
    Abstract: A mixing unit may be disposed under water of a circular reservoir tank. The mixing unit squirts out water at an upward, outward and skewed angle so as to facilitate rotation of the water within the tank and vertical mixing of the water so as to destratify the temperature gradients within the water.
