Method for minimizing total dissolved solids in industrial wastewater and system thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for minimizing total dissolved solids in industrial wastewater. The system comprises a DC power supply for powering an electrocoagulation system. The electrocoagulation system forms a serpentine flow of an incoming fluid between a series pairs of anodes and cathodes. When flowing away, the incoming fluid is immediately transferred into a dissolving water module. The dissolving water module also generates hydrogen bubble and oxygen bubble between the pairs of anodes and cathodes by the utilization of the DC power supply. The pairs of anodes and cathodes allow and guide the incoming fluid to be discharged into a second chamber containing a filtering medium. According to the implementation scheme of the invention, the system can be configured into one or more modules which can operate individually or can be combined to work, or can be refitted into existing systems, troughs, water channels or other containers. In addition, the module system can be manufactured temporarily and removed after used. The module system can realize low-cost upgrade in usage because the modules can be integrated into existing systems. Refitted systems can be widely applied to more different end users at remote locations in a feasible way.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for wastewater treatment, and more particularly, to a system for extracting organic and inorganic total dissolved solids from a wastewater stream to be recycled or released back into the environment. Background technique [0002] Affordable clean water is increasingly becoming a pressing technological issue worldwide, with an estimated two in three people living in water-scarce areas by 2025. As the world's population grows, so does the demand for products that require water to produce, with water used for industrial applications projected to soon exceed human needs. In some areas currently experiencing huge shortages caused by drought, the waste of this precious resource is now regulated, and there is also pressure on the industrial sector to treat and recycle their wastewater. [0003] With the passage of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act of 2001, total organic compound (TOC) analysis has become a fast and ac...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although a variety of technologies are currently used for industrial wastewater treatment, most of these systems suffer from various problems of high cost and immobility

For example, replacing an old inadequate water treatment system with new improved technology can be prohibitively expensive, and in addition, because many water treatment applications are located in remote locations, it is not always economical or feasible
