Process, useful for treating ground water, comprises injecting pressure controlled oxygen into well water and releasing the supply of gas via a porous matrix in a pressure regulated reactor

摘要

A drinking water treatment process injects a pressure and volume-regulated dose of oxygen into ground water drawn from a well. The gas is released as a supply of fine bubbles into the water via a porous matrix in a pressure-regulated reactor. The porous matrix is a fine-pored diaphragm which is retained by a membrane collar. A drinking water treatment process comprises the water being treated with fine gas bubbles introduced via a dosing valve (69) and surrendered to a filter reactor (43) for biological treatment. The filter is cleaned at intervals by back-flush. A dosed flow of treated water is continually returned to the wellhead at a given rate, pressure and oxygen content, enhancing the quality of ground water flowing into the wellhead. An Independent claim is also included for a treatment assembly in which a suction pump (60) draws ground water from a well.
