Patent CA-2357869-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHUSTER MICHAEL
IPC: E03D5/00
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: A toilet tank with a sediment removal assembly comprises a flexible tube connected to the upper discharge spout of the intake standpipe in the toilet tank cavity, and a configured length of coppertubing connected to the flexible tube for water to flow therethrough when the float valve is open to flow water into the tank during a flushing operation. The coppertubing has a longitudinal section which extends downwardly and vertically from its connection to the flexible tube, an integrally joined first lateral or horizontal section curved or bent to lie on the bottom wall of the tank adjacent to the rear wall, and an integrally joined second lateral or horizontal section curved or bent to extend substantially normal to the first lateral section and lie on the bottom wall of the tank adjacent to the then facing end wall of the tank. The lateral sections of the coppertubing include small spaced apart apertures opening inwardly toward the center of the tank cavity, through which jets of water are emitted over the bottom wall of the tank as water flows through the flexible tube and copper tubing. The copper tubing terminates at an open free end adjacent the end wall of the tank along which it lies, such open free end facing the opposite side wall of the tank at its intersecting corner region where it meets the adjacent end wall. When water flow through the flexible tube and coppertubing it is spewed out in a stream directed toward the opposite side wall at the corner intersection. The impact of the water against the opposite side wall in that corner region forces the water to turn and begin to swirl in a circular whirlpool current or stream on the bottom wall of the tank. Such whirlpool current or stream, combined with the jets of water being emitted across the bottom wall of the tank from the small apertures of the lateral sections of the coppertubing, agitate the sediment accumulated at the bottom of the tank, raising the sediment into the whirling stream of water, and carrying the sediment with such whirling stream of water toward the centrally located drain in the bottom of the tank which is open during the flushing operation to carry water to the toilet bowl. Thus, during each flushing operation, sediment in the toilet tank is automatically flushed out of the tank into and through the toilet bowl, and on out the drain conduit leading ultimately to the sewer tile.

Title: Treatment of aqueous media containing electrically charged compounds
Inventor: MIRANDA REIS MARIA D ASCENSAO
IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: This invention provides a method of reducing the concentration of at least one electrically charged compound present in aqueous feedstock (5), such as water and waste water. The feedstock to be treated is continuously supplied to one surface of a selectively permeable, electrically charged membrane (2) contained within a module (1). Simultaneously an aqueous reaction medium, containing an active microbial culture, contacts with the opposite face of the membrane (2). The microbial culture, fed with selected nutrients and salts, is capable to convert at least one electrically charged compound, after it permeates through the wall of the membrane (2) to by-products. The membrane is substantially impermeable to electrically uncharged compounds. The ion-exchange properties of the membrane allow avoiding secondary pollution of the treated water by metabolic by-products and residual nutrients from the reaction medium. The membrane separates physically the polluted water stream (5) from the reaction medium, which assures that the treated water (6) does never directly contact with the microbial culture.
