An internal-combustion engine receives no air from outside atmosphere. Instead, combustion gas expelled from the engine is cooled and recycled back into the engine. That gas contains no nitrogen and consists mostly of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Oxygen and fuel are added to the recycled gas, and the resulting mixture is used to perform an internal-combustion cycle. Cooling that gas condenses its water vapor, and liquid water is separated from the gas. That water is used for injection into the recycled gas at a later time. A small amount of the expelled combustion gas is discharged into outside environment, and the rest is recycled. Water too is recycled back into the engine, and whatever is lost to outside environment is replaced by reclaiming water produced in combustion. No additional supply of water is needed. Since no nitrogen is present, no nitrogen oxides are produced. The amount of other harmful exhaust emissions is greatly reduced too, since most of them are recycled back into the engine. Water evaporation in the cylinders greatly improves fuel economy. The engine is inherently supercharged with combustion-gas pressure, and no turbocharger is needed. Since the combustion gas is heavier than air, the engine can be substantially smaller than a conventional engine of equal power. A smaller engine has less friction.

An oxygen containing gas is injected at a pressure in the range of about two (2) to about five (5) atmospheres or more into an ultraviolet transmissive sleeve surrounding an ultraviolet lamp to produce a high concentration of ozone. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet lamp irradiates water to be purified disposed in a container surrounding the sleeve. The ozone enriched gas is entrained into the water flowing into the container resulting in an oxidative reaction with any organic matter present and coming into contact with the ozone. Alternatively, the ozone may be entrained in water in a second container downstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a further variant, the ozone may be entrained in water in a container upstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a yet further variant, the ozone may be entrained in one or more containers upstream and prior to irradiation of the water with ultraviolet radiation in the downstream most container. The ozone may be extracted from the ozonated water prior to discharge if the oxidative effect of the ozone is not desired for the intended end use. To enhance ozone production a predetermined pressure is maintained within the sleeve. To prevent damage to sleeve in the event of a drop in pressure of the water surrounding the sleeve, a further differential pressure regulator may be used to relieve the pressure within the sleeve by discharging ozonated gas from within the sleeve. By use of specifically configured end caps for the sleeve, certain existing water purification systems may be converted to embody the present invention.

A method of treatment of water in an aquatic environment. Water is first pumped from a reservoir to a first mixing station. An inert gas is introduced into the pumped water at the first mixing station to provide inert gas saturated water, which inert gas saturated water will displace undesired gasses in the water in the reservoir. The inert gas saturated water is then pumped to a sparging column such that the inert gas and undesired gasses will be released from the inert gas saturated water to provide depleted water. The depleted water is then pumped to a second mixing station, wherein oxygen is introduced into the depleted water to provide oxygen enriched water. The oxygen enriched water is then returned to reservoir.

Parallel desalting (PDS) includes a hybrid membrane softening (MS) system for de-mineralizing water for residential and commercial use. Parallel desalting produces "soft" water without the use of salt, or any other liquid chemical reagent normally used to carry out pH adjustment in industrial membrane and precipitation processes. The PDS process balances the operation of a RO (potable water) membrane unit with the operation of a tubular MF (wastewater) membrane unit, thereby providing a highly efficient and regenerative water treatment technology: (1) The optimum operation for the PDS system transforms roughly 90 percent of a potable, slightly brackish water supply into <50 mg / L TDS water with <1-grain (10-15 mg / L as calcium carbonate)-water hardness; and (2) The operation of the PDS system produces, in salinity terms, in a 100 percent reusable effluent for downstream recycling. Virtual prototype results suggest that with Colorado River Aqueduct source water (570-620 mg / L TDS and 16-grain water hardness), parallel desalting can produce an effluent with a TDS 40-70 mg / L lower than the originating supply (excluding TDS contributed directly by the particular type of use of the soft water).
