  • Patent number: 7255789
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for purifying a liquid including: reaction chambers that utilizes KDF 85 or KDF 55 or other media in turbulence with the liquid, a first fine collective filtration unit, a first laser photolytic light chamber that utilizes a laser producing ultraviolet light in the 100 to 300 nanometer range passing through a quartz tube that is surrounded by the liquid, a second ultra-fine collective filtration unit, a pharmaceutical grade granular activated carbon filter unit, and a second laser photolytic light chamber that utilizes a laser producing ultraviolet light in the 100 to 300 nanometer range passing through a quartz tube that is surrounded by the liquid wherein the laser light generator is the same one utilized in the first photolytic light chamber, whereby microbes are killed and collected, aromatic ring structures are eliminated and any particulate matter 0.5 microns or larger are removed from the liquid.

  • Patent number: 5543040
    Abstract: The present industrial purification system consists of an electronic power supply and control unit, an ionization delivery unit, having at least one unique Copper/Silver electrode rods. It's objective as applied to water-based fluids in a closed-loop flow system is to prevent electrostatic materials from building up on the cathodic ionization rods and/or achieving ionization in very low conductive water-based systems which have as their medium de-ionized, ultra-purified, or reverse osmosis filtered water. The power supply and control unit requires 120 or 240 vac input at less than 1 amp, and provides an adjustable regulated dc voltage to the electrode rods, dc voltage being 50 volts. A zero center meter on the control panel indicates the actual voltage supplied to the electrodes, whereas current flowing through the electrodes is indicated by a second zero centered meter.
