Changing the Composition of Water Using an Universal Electro-Hydraulic Installation

Abstract

Electro-hydraulic water treatment has a large number of factors. We considered two factors, nitrate increase and disinfection. Theoretically this process is described due to the fact that electro-hydraulic shock in water is accompanied by x-ray and ultraviolet radiation, all this causes a chemical process. The article proposes a method for increasing of nitrates in water and decontamination by electro-hydraulic impacts. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in searching for the optimal parameters and operating modes of a universal laboratory installation for the transformation of water into a nutrient solution. (Materials and methods) The EnSURE (Hygiena) luminometer was used to measure microbiological contamination of water, and the ETHAN PH meter/ionometer was used to measure nitrates in water. (Results and discussion) The article presents the existing electrohydraulic devices and showes their shortcomings. Author made the conclusion that there is no universal installation in which it would be possible to get a double effect (activation and disinfection). The article presents a developed universal laboratory unit, which was used to perform disinfection and increase nitrates. The article presents the operation modes in which the effect is observed. The article presents the photo of the laboratory installation. (Conclusions) It was found that for economic reasons it is advisable to choose the first mode for water treatment. Author have identified an organic method for increasing nitrates in water and decontamination, which can be used in greenhouse complexes for growing vegetables and fruits. Pond water was treated for conversion to a nutrient solution by changing the amount of nitrates. It was found that the amount of nitrates increased by 0.86 milligrams per liter, which indicates that the water passed into a nutrient solution.
