20090184057 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETIC COMPOUNDS FROM DRINKING WATER - A method of removing contaminant compounds such as residual pharmaceutical or cosmetic compounds found in drinking water. The method entails directing the drinking water into a water treatment device and injecting ozone into the drinking water to form a drinking water-ozone mixture. Thereafter the water-ozone mixture is held within a holding tank where the ozone oxidizes various contaminant compounds and reduces their concentration in the drinking water. From the holding tank, the water-ozone mixture is directed to an ultraviolet light chamber where the water is treated with ultraviolet light. | 07-23-2009 |
