Integrated Biogas Treatment and Carbon Dioxide Based Disinfection for Water Treatment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294409 titled 'Integrated Biogas Treatment and Carbon Dioxide Based Disinfection for Water Treatment
The abstract describes a patent application for integrating a biogas treatment process with a water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water and enhance disinfection. The process involves using a water wash process to separate methane and carbon dioxide from the biogas, with the carbon dioxide being absorbed into the water. The water stream becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide, which is then used to adjust the pH level of the water treatment process, leading to increased production of hypochlorous acid for disinfection.
- Water wash process used to separate methane and carbon dioxide from biogas
- Carbon dioxide absorbed into water, creating a supersaturated water stream
- Supersaturated water stream used to adjust pH level of water treatment process
- Increased relative concentration of hypochlorous acid produced for disinfection
- Process occurs at elevated pressure and reduced temperature for enhanced solubility
Potential Applications: - Water treatment facilities - Biogas plants - Wastewater treatment plants
Problems Solved: - Adjusting pH levels in water treatment processes - Enhancing disinfection of water - Separating methane and carbon dioxide from biogas
Benefits: - Improved water treatment efficiency - Enhanced disinfection capabilities - Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Water Treatment Process for Improved Disinfection This technology can be applied in various industries such as municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, and biogas production facilities. It offers a more effective and efficient way to treat water and enhance disinfection processes, leading to improved overall water quality.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of the biogas treatment process with the water treatment process improve disinfection efficiency? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this integrated process in water treatment facilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
a biogas treatment process is integrated with a water treatment process to adjust the ph level of the water and to provide more effective disinfection of the water. a water wash process is utilized to separate methane and carbon dioxide present in the biogas. during the water wash process, the biogas is mixed with water and the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water. because the process typically occurs at an elevated pressure and reduced temperature to enhance the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the water stream becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide. this water stream, which is supersaturated with carbon dioxide, is provided to the water treatment process to adjust the ph level of the water treatment process. the ph level is regulated to a desired level such that an increased relative concentration of hypochlorous acid is produced when sodium hypochlorite is added to the treatment process.
