Benefits of technology

[0023] It is a fundamental object to provide an aqueous liquid purification system which controllably sterilizes an aqueous liquid to a predetermined SAL by controlling rate of flow of the aqueous liquid through said system.
[0024] It is an imp

Problems solved by technology

With these statistics, it is astounding that no water purification method is currently available and in-use to prevent such water borne illnesses.
Likely such is not available due expense of currently available water purification systems.
However, use of light is known to sometimes be ineffective and at other times be unpredictable when used in water

Embodiment Construction

[0032] In this description, the term proximal is used to indicate nearness of a referenced item to the object of the sentence describing its position. The term distal should be interpreted as indicating “away from” a referenced item. Numbers and primes of the same numbers are used to indicate items of related mechanics and function, but which may have physical differences.

[0033] Reference is now made to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1. While only a single embodiment is provided herein, it should be apparent to one skilled in water and other aqueous liquid purification by sterilization that other embodiments may be employed within the scope of the invention.

[0034] As seen in FIG. 1, a water sterilization system 10 comprises an influent channel 20, where through water from a source 22 (see arrow 24) is delivered, a flow controller subsystem 30, a heat exchanger 40 through which influent liquid flows in an input pathway 50 and through which effluent liquid flows in an output pat...

Abstract

A flow through aqueous liquid sterilization apparatus which employs substantially fixed temperatures and pressures and variable flow rates through the apparatus for controllably processing aqueous liquids to achieve predetermined values of SALs.

Description

CONTINUATION-IN-PART [0001] This U.S. patent application is a Continuation-in-Part for U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 210,217, filed Aug. 22, 2005 by John G. Bowen and titled, APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR VARIABLY STERILIZING AQUEOUS LIQUIDS.FIELD OF INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to apparatus and methods by which aqueous (water based) liquids are decontaminated, collected and stored for culinary purposes. This invention is further related to methods which decontaminate such aqueous liquids without use of chemical or light energy processes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] There is an ever increasing need for new, more effective, efficient and lower cost methods for decontaminating water and other water based (aqueous) liquids. As and example, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports in a Mar. 6, 2003, report on BACTERIAL WATERBORNE DISEASES that each year there are 3.5 billion episodes of illness and a resulting three million estimated deaths caused by c...
