A surface filter for aquarium water purification is placed on the bottom of the aquarium that sucks the waste out of the tank to the canister filter. Small plastic pieces make and connect the main stream channels. Each plastic piece is composed of a couple of inverted pyramids that acts like a funnel. Water flows through the main channels sucked by an external filter. In the base of each inverted pyramid a small hole opens to the drainage channel, which has a hollow inverted V shape. Water, particles and fish waste are passed through the channels to the external filter. At the end of the assembly a cross channel collects the drained water. Collected water is transferred to the external filter outside the aquarium. A hose connects the external filter with the collector. Another hose is connected to the same filter to return the filtered water back to the aquarium.

Damping Plate Sand Filtration System and Wave Energy Water Desalination System and Methods of Using Potable Water Produced by Wave Energy Desalination

Номер: US20170129788A1
Автор: Jr. Robert C., MCCORMICK Michael E., MURTHA
Принадлежит:

A potable water producing system for disposition at a salt water body and methods of producing potable water are provided. The system includes a wave energy conversion system (AWECS) and a portable filtration system. The AWECS forms a floating articulated barge having an onboard desalination system including reverse osmosis membranes. The filtration system is a sand filter residing on a damping plate submerged in the salt water body and filters the adjacent salt water for providing filtered salt water to the onboard desalination system. Wave action on the articulated barge provides energy to pump and pressurize the filtered salt water from the sand filter to the reverse osmosis membranes to produce potable water. The wave action on the articulated barge effects shaking of the reverse osmosis membranes, thereby rendering them self-cleaning. The potable water can be used for various applications, e.g., bottling, replenishing aquifers, ground and/or aquifer remediation, irrigation, etc. 1. A system for producing a pressurized water source from a body of water having waves , said system comprising:an articulated barge system for floating on the body of water having waves, said barge system comprising at least two barges that articulate with respect to each other and which are hinged together, one of said at least two barges comprising a damping plate positioned thereunder;a filter positioned on said damping plate for filtering water drawn from the body of water having waves into said filter;at least one pump in fluid communication with said filter and wherein said at least one pump straddles said at least two barges such that articulation of said at least two barges in response to the action of the waves converts energy of the waves into driving said at least one pump to cause said at least one pump to draw in water from said body of water through said filter and to form said pressurized water source from said filtered water; andat least one anchor for placement on a ...

Nuclear reactor using controlled debris to mitigate eccs strainer pressure head loss

Номер: US20190221323A1
Автор: Alan J. Bilanin, Andrew E. Kaufman, Raymond TIBERGE
Принадлежит: Continuum Dynamics Inc

Controlled-debris elements inhibit the formation of a fibrous/particulate debris bed that unduly increases the pressure head loss through the perforated plates of strainers in a nuclear power plant emergency core cooling system. In a loss of cooling accident, pumps draw cooling water through the plates, which retain on their surfaces fibrous material in the circulating water to prevent it from reaching the pumps while permitting entrained particulate matter to pass through the perforations. The controlled-debris elements have a specific gravity substantially the same as the circulating water so they are entrained in the cooling water that is drawn toward the strainers and intimately intermix with the fibrous and particulate matter in the cooling water. The elements are configured to provide open structures in the bed formed on the plate surfaces to distribute fibers in the flow away from the surface and maintain cavities between the elements for the particulates.
