Abstract:
A method for treating wastewater and for purifying and disinfecting drinking water. The treatment includes the addition of pressurized ozonated air to the pumped raw water stream by use of a venturi injector and then achieving well-mixed ozonated water by an in-line static mixer. This promotes the ozone reaction with pollutants in the raw water. The stream is then injected into the ultraviolet (UV) reaction chamber by a static impinger in the form of a conical spray nozzle. This breaks up the stream into a fine mist of one-micron diameter droplets falling down through the chamber. Air released from the droplets is suitably vented to keep the chamber pressure near atmospheric. At a lower plane in the chamber, a UV light source in the form of a uniform grid of essentially coplanar UV lamps irradiates the falling droplets to kill bacteria and viruses and also to catalyze the still ongoing ozone reaction. In the bottom of the chamber, the now treated water forms a pool which is pumped out through filters to its final point of use. A low residence time of two minutes results from optimum process criteria and chamber geometry.

McConnell-Grimes outcome could decide whether Kentucky goes right-to-work
across Kentucky say voters everywhere are asking them about their support for right to work. It is playing a big role in this race says Democratic state Rep. Gerald Watkins of Paducah.They are making right-to-work the central issue in their quest for taking control of the Kentucky House.
Democratic state Rep. Gerald Watkins, one of the Democrats targeted in the western Kentucky TV ads, has already reserved more than $40,000 worth of TV ads over the next few weeks. Watkins said he does not know of any Democrats pooling their money to run joint ads.
Republicans picked up seats in western Kentucky with the victories of GOP candidates Kenny Imes, Richard Heath and Lynn Bechler. Democrats in the region could take some consolation with Gerald Watkins' victory in a GOP-held district.
