  • the present invention was devised to help with sewage treatment, namely the enhancement of aerobic bacteria growth which can break down wastes.
  • sewage treatment namely the enhancement of aerobic bacteria growth which can break down wastes.
  • Approximately 250 trillion gallons of water are used by the human race on earth each year, based on reports from the World Trade Organization in 2004. This figure represents 2% of the available water on earth of which 30% is polluted in some manner, requiring treatment before being used by humans. It is noted that of the 250 trillion gallons of water, 60% is used for agricultural purposes, 15% is used for industrial purposes, and the rest is available for human consumption and use.
  • the embodiments of this invention have beneficial effects that apply to all three areas by providing oxygenated water with reduced surface tension.
  • the present embodiments describe a device and methods that create sub-micron particles of oxygen that are dissolved in a fluid.
  • “Sub-micron” can mean “nanosized” particles of oxygen (10 ⁇ 9 sized particles).
  • the sub-micron particles of oxygen remain in the fluid where placed or sink to the bottom of a container holding the fluid with the oxygenated particles rather than rising to the surface and escaping.
  • the phenomenon of increasing dissolved oxygen in the fluid occurs because the sub-micron size of the oxygen particles are so small that the density of the fluid generally exceeds the upward force caused by the difference in density between the sub-micron oxygen particles and the fluid.
  • the oxygen is suspended or sinks to the bottom; this phenomenon is created by not only passing the fluid through three different pressures, but by first treating with a surface tension modification generator, then injecting the oxygen, or perhaps ozone (if killing of bacteria is desired) into the fluid, then passing the modified fluid through an inside chamber of a multi-chamber device into an outer chamber using funnels that create a turbid flow condition at a triangular focal point.
  • the embodied devices use sub-micron oxygen generation technology in conjunction with an improved electrostatic device for energizing fluids, particularly useful for energizing water based fluids. By energizing the fluids, the surface tension of the fluids is lowered.
  • the surface tension modification generator or "STMG” has a chamber with at least a pair of probes disposed in the chamber.
  • the frequency is emitted from the first probe and transmits through the fluid until the frequency is received or grounded by the second probe. It is contemplated that the frequency can be from about 0.05Hz to about 5000 Hz.
  • the frequency travels through the fluid for a defined distance, it modifies a specific physical characteristic of the fluid, forming an altered fluid, that physical characteristic can be the surface tension of the fluid.
  • the embodied electrostatically induced surface tension reduction device can include an electrostatic voltage spike signal generator, two or more radio frequency signal generators, one or more antennas, a fluid conduit, and optionally one or more signal boosters.
  • the device can also utilize magnetic fields that it either generates or passes into the chamber of the STMG, hereafter termed the STMG chamber, to modify the fluid.
  • the device to reduce surface tension increases the capacity and cost effectiveness of a myriad of critical industrial water management processes including reverse-osmosis (sea water to potable water), de-scaling of industrial water cooling systems, emulsion breaking applications for chemical and oil refineries, chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction in industrial plants, such as paper mills, and de-oiling of oil drilling fluids and drill bit cuttings from subsurface strata.
  • this device can be used to reduce the surface tension of the water used in concrete and thereby increasing the strength of concrete while lowering the cost to produce the concrete.
  • the embodied devices "energize" a fluid by supplying an influx of variable energy waves, in the range of about 0.05Hz to about 5000 Hz.
  • the embodied devices energize the fluid by flooding the fluid with additional electrons or the equivalent in charge density.
  • the invention can be a home unit which is used in a house to treat water for increasing oxygen consumption to the occupants of the house.
  • the home unit can be wall mounted, or on a portable dolly.
  • An industrial embodiment of the unit can be skid mounted. It is contemplated that the apparatus, if it is portable, would weigh in the range from about 30 to about 2000 pounds. The ability to provide a small unit, so that any family could take advantage of this process is a significant benefit in places where oxygen levels in water are reduced.
  • the increased oxygen content in water for humans or animals can result in increased body's aerobic action in the digestive tract.
  • the increased oxygen content with reduced surface tension can increase the human's ability to evacuate metals from the body and improve nutrient uptake to the body. This can work for pets, such as cats and dogs, the domestic farm animals that an individual might have, as well as the children of the household.
  • the device energizes the water and satisfies the hydrogen ion (H+) attraction to the unshared pair of electrons on any adjacent water molecules.
  • H+ hydrogen ion
  • a true reduction in hydrogen bonding between water molecules occurs.
  • the true reduction in hydrogen bonding is measured as surface tension reduction.
  • water molecules link up to each other because of the dipole nature of the individual water molecules.
  • the bent water molecule structure in the free- state has three fundamental variations: symmetrical stretch, symmetrical bend, and the asymmetrical bend.
  • the additional negative charges or the equivalent in charge density provided in the solution by the embodied devices reduce the bonding of the oxygen atoms of water molecules and the hydrogen atoms of other water molecules by supplying the negative charges (electrons) that the oxygen atoms attract. As a result, less hydrogen bonding exists between the individual water molecules.
  • the result is "energized” water resulting in benefits such as better cleaning water and better soil-leaching water.
  • Table 1 summarizes the surface tension of water before and after the water is "energized” using the embodied devices. The water is tested at a range of temperatures.
  • Combining the sub-micron oxygen generation with the energizing technologies provides a benefit to living organisms, machinery, processes, and substances.
  • the increased presence of oxygen on the bottom of given fluid sources, such as a pond, affects the rate of microbial metabolic activity in the bottom of the pond.
  • the embodiments of the invention provide a significant increase in the water treating capacity.
  • the energy demand required by the embodiments is reduced by 96% for an equivalent volume fluid as compared to current technology.
  • the energized and super oxygenated fluid can be used to provide significant benefits in applications such as milk production, flower production, fruit production, crop production, vegetable production, shrimp production, egg production, meat production, gasoline combustion, waste fluid combustion, scale removal, water purification, fluid tracking, fluid sterilization and more.
  • the lowering of the surface tension benefits crops by enhancing the capillary action of the root system. That enhancement carries more oxygen into the plant due to the increased oxygenation of the water.
  • the devices can be used to assist the transfer of oxygen into a plant or animal by reducing the energy required to overcome the surface tension of water allowing the water to assimilate into the animals or plants.
  • the embodied devices provide a quick and cost-effective manner to inject dissolved oxygen into a stream or body of water.
  • the devices can be used to create billions of nano- oxygen particles to transfer to the bottom of a sludge pond to aid in bio-remediation.
  • Ample dissolved oxygen (DO) is required for effective wastewater treatment from pulp and paperplants, or activated sludge from petrochemical plants.
  • the embodied methods generate billions of nano-sized oxygen particles that are so small that the particles do not have enough mass to overcome the water's natural density and rise to the water's surface. In combination with surface tension reduction technology water's tendency to burst "bubbles" is also reduced. Therefore, the nano-sized oxygen particles sink or remain suspended in the water.
  • the embodied methods accelerate the rate of transfer of oxygen into water through the large surface area created by the enormous population of micro-particles.
  • the generated nano-oxygen particles can be delivered at approximately 5 cubic feet/minute (CFM) of oxygen using a 0.5 HP pump.

  • the STMG (10) depicted in Figure 1 emits a frequency from about 0.05 Hz to about 5000 Hz into the fluid (16) through the probes (12 and 14) to minimize hydrogen bonding in the fluid (16).
  • Frequencies are selected depending on the desired performance of the bacteria. Some frequencies can enhance bacteria performance, other frequencies can kill the bacteria which stops the processing of the solids or other matter in the fluid.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil pour traiter un fluide de sorte à augmenter sa teneur en oxygène et à réduire sa tension de surface. Cet appareil comprend un générateur de modification de tension de surface (STMG) comprenant un compartiment STMG pour recevoir un fluide pressurisé à une première pression. Des sondes disposées dans le compartiment STMG émettent une fréquence dans le fluide pour modifier une caractéristique physique de ce fluide. Cet appareil comprend également un dispositif multicompartiment comprenant un compartiment intérieur, un compartiment extérieur renfermant le compartiment intérieur pour recevoir du fluide provenant du compartiment intérieur, et au moins deux entonnoirs pour l'écoulement du liquide, du compartiment intérieur au compartiment extérieur, et pour créer une condition de fluide trouble, à un point focal, pour dissoudre l'oxygène dans le fluide, ce qui forme un fluide oxygéné. Un port est relié entre le STMG et le compartiment intérieur, ce qui provoque une baisse de pression fluidique, du STMG au compartiment intérieur.
