TLDR
A radiation housing as mentioned in this paper is a hollow cylindrical chamber located around an elongated tubular lamp for producing actinic light such as ultraviolet light, which can be used to oxidize organic contaminants and kill microbiological contaminants through the utilization of ultraviolet light and ozone.
Abstract
Water may be treated so as to oxidize organic contaminants and so as to kill microbiological contaminants through the utilization of ultraviolet light and ozone so as to obtain some residual ozone in the water treated by passing a mixture of water and air or air and ozone through a nozzle which concurrently compresses the mixture and breaks up any gas bubbles within the mixture into what may be loosely referred to as a radiation housing or chamber. The housing is a hollow, cylindrical chamber located around an elongated tubular lamp for producing actinic light such as ultraviolet light. The mixture is introduced into this chamber in a substantially tangential manner so as to swirl around the interior chamber in passing from the inlet of the chamber where the nozzle is located to the outlet of the chamber at the other end of the chamber.

Water treatment system for swimming pools and potable water

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for treating water, either potable water or a recirculated body of water, in which the water flows through a passage around and in direct contact with the surface of the germicidal ultraviolet lamp and in contact with at least one ozone producing ultraviolet lamp, whereby dissolved oxygen in the water is directly converted into ozone dispersed in said flowing water.

Methods and apparatus for the application of combined fields to disinfect fluids

TL;DR: The magnetic treatment enhances the ability to separate hydrophobic contaminants from the fluid and the ability of that fluid to be disinfected as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to remove contaminants and extend the useful life of fluids such as coolants and reducing or eliminating the risks posed to workers by heavily contaminated or biocide-treated coolants.

Method of producing ultrapure, pyrogen-free water

Lucas Boeve
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of producing ultrapore, pyrogen-free water comprising providing a source of water, filtering the water to remove suspended solids and organics, deionizing the water, and introducing substantially pure ozone into the deionized water at a concentration of at least two milligrams of ozone per liter of deionised water to thereby produce ultrapure pyrogen free water was proposed.

Apparatus for sanitizing liquids with ultra-violet radiation and ozone

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for contacting contaminated water with ultra-violet light to eliminate potentially harmful organisms as well as to provide air cooling necessary for efficient operation of the UV lamp and simultaneous production of ozone in the apparatus for secondary disinfection of the water, the water after treatment by the ultraviolet light being discharged into a water storage tank, and the irradiated air that contains the ozone being discharged to the tank into contact with the water for carrying out the secondary disinfections.

Disinfection system and method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a rapid and efficient method for disinfection of waste liquid such as sewage effluent by means of a fluid disinfecting agent, (e.g., ozone or chlorine) in which all of the waste liquid to be treated pass through a turbulent flow zone within a limited period of time.

Apparatus for sterilizing fluids with UV radiation and ozone

Reiner Wiest
TL;DR: An apparatus for sterilizing fluids comprises a radiation chamber which comprises a source of ultraviolet radiation; a housing surrounding said source and including an inner casing permeable to ultraviolet radiation and bounding a channel with said source, and an outer casing surrounding said inner casing and forming a treating space therewith.
Patent

Fluid purification device

TL;DR: A unitary device for purifying water and other fluids embodying an annular filter surrounding an elongate tube which in turn surrounds and cooperates with an elongated ultraviolet lamp to form a flow channel for fluid to be irradiated as discussed by the authors.
