| abstract |
A low cost apparatus for treating water, which will be used in an industrial process, is provided. An apparatus of the invention generally includes at least one feeding line (7), at least one containing means (8), at least one coordination means (1), at least one chemical application means (4), at least one mobile suction means (5), at least one propelling means (6), and at least one filtration means (3). The coordination means (1) can control the necessary processes depending on the apparatus needs (e.g., water quality or purity). The apparatus of the invention purifies the water and eliminates suspended solids without the need of filtering the totality of the water volume, but only filtering a small fraction of up to 200 times less than the flow filtered by a conventional water treatment filtration system. |
