The present invention relates to a mineral control and ionisation
system for purifying
seawater comprising: a
seawater or
raw water influent inlet
pipe; an
ozone generator for injecting
ozone into the water inlet
pipe; a solids
filtration assembly formed by a first filter configured to remove
suspended solids and settleable solids in the water, humic and fulvic acids, various volatile organic compounds, fats and proteins, and agrochemicals, and to eliminate odour and colour in the water; a second organic cation resin filter configured to negatively recharge the cation resin and sequester 45% of all minerals formed by
carbonate salts and dissolved solids, and to control the
total dissolved solids (TDS) and the total
seawater hardness; and a third
multimedia filter with bituminous
activated carbon configured to remove odour, flavour, chemical residues and colour (crystallisation) that may remain in the water, and to positively recharge the ions in the water. The
system also comprises an
assembly of magnetic conditioners configured to generate a
magnetic field which moves the salts from their
equilibrium point and modifies the physicochemical properties of the water; a
reverse osmosis module where the levels of electrical
conductivity, TDS, total
hardness and pH are periodically controlled by reject and recirculation meters; and a UV light and / or
ozone and / or
quantum alumina exposure means configured to purify water coming from the
reverse osmosis module, in compliance with international and Mexican regulations on
treated water for
human use and consumption. The
system further comprises a
treated water storage and
holding tank configured to prevent the formation of
algae,
bacteria and
cyanobacteria using ultrasonic equipment that emits sound
waves at different frequencies, propagating at speeds of 2,000 m / sec, thus preventing blue-
green algae growth in the stored water; a magnetic conditioner that controls the minerals in the stored water; an automated control board to
