Patent ID: 7704399

Claim:
A water treatment method for the treatment of water for safe human consumption, applied to a water treatment system obtaining water from a water source by a pump directing said water through an inlet valve of a transmission line to a tank battery and a filter bank having at least one filter column, said water treatment system comprising the steps of: adding a metal salt catalyst at a first injection point in said transmission line from a first reservoir through a first injection line; adding hydrogen peroxide at a second injection point in said transmission line from a second reservoir through a second injection line, wherein said hydrogen peroxide and metal salt form hydroxyl ions, free radical oxygen, hydrogen and supply valence transfer to reduce any organic contaminants in said water to inert substances; adding air, if necessary, at a third injection point in said transmission line from an air compressor through a third injection line; adding a disinfectant at a fourth injection point in said transmission line from a fourth reservoir through a fourth injection line to remove excess hydrogen peroxide remaining after the chemical reaction between said metal salt catalyst and hydrogen peroxide; transferring contents of said transmission line to a detention tank battery, having at least a flash mix tank, for detention of said water for a period of up to five hours; adding Bentonite clay and powder activated carbon to said flash mix tank forming a residual sludge blanket, to remove small organic contaminants and to clear said water; and passing said water from said detention tank battery to said filter bank having said at least one filter column for further delivery for human consumption and use.
