Systems and Methods for Modifying Waste Fluids

摘要

Systems and/or methods for use with and/or including processing apparatus which use clean fluids in processes which results in the clean fluid becoming waste fluid. The systems and/or methods modify the waste fluid generated by the processing apparatus, analyze the modified waste fluid to determine whether the systems and/or methods are operating normally and/or whether the modified waste fluid has become clean fluid, and return the modified waste fluid for use in the processing apparatus, if the systems and/or methods are operating normally and/or the modified waste fluid has become clean fluid.

主权项

1. A system for use with a processing apparatus comprising a clean fluid entry portion and a waste fluid discharge portion, wherein the processing apparatus uses clean fluid in a process which results in the clean fluid becoming waste fluid;
the system comprising:
a. a fluid modification apparatus comprising:
i. a first end capable of being in fluid communication with the waste fluid discharge portion;ii. a second end capable of being in fluid communication with the clean fluid entry portion; andiii. at least one fluid modification device in fluid communication with the first end and the second end, wherein the at least one fluid modification device modifies the waste fluid;b. at least one analyzing device which determines: (i) whether the system is operating normally; and/or (ii) whether the modified waste fluid has become clean fluid; andc. at least one fluid transport apparatus which returns the modified waste fluid to the processing apparatus, if the at least one analyzing device determines that the system is operating normally and/or that the modified waste fluid has become clean fluid.
