A high-efficiency eco-friendly invention which regenerates and preserves natural water environments, through its high-pressure oxygen dissolving
water quality control device.
What is “Wind-Powered Water Cleaning System?
- 1) The key strength of this Wind-Powered Water Cleaning System is the high-pressure oxygen dissolving water quality control unit (“water quality control unit”) which contributes to improving and maintaining the quality of water that is vital for the healthy growth of living creatures from fish, shellfish to animals and plants, by removing sludge at the bottom of ponds and lakes, controling serious proliferation of blue-green algae, and eradicating bad odors.
- 2) This water quality control unit first stores natural energy generated by the vertical axis type wind-power generator in the batteries, and operates using such stored ‘zero-fuel-consumption’ power as its heat source.
- 3) Another feature of this entire system is that, in addition to the above heat source, it also produces an additional heat source by storing the power generated by connecting a battery-dedicated generator to the rotating mechanism of its water quality control unit.
Therefore, this is one of the most advanced pro-environment systems which combines three advantageous functions; water quality control, wind-power generation and battery-dedicated power generation. The system can also be utilized for the globally spreading fish farms and greenhouses, as it allows simultaneous operation of multiple water quality control units by storing natural energy in the latest type of batteries.

Eight characteristics of the Wind-Powered Water Cleaning System
- 1) This system operates on the natural energy generated by a zero-fuel wind-power generator, as well as on electricity generated by the generator using the rotating mechanism of the system itself.
- 2) High-efficiency fluid mixing process by cavitation*1 & Coanda effects*2, by using a jet box
- 3) A high-concentration oxygen (over 90%) is supplied.
- 4) The system can be used for the oxidation processing method with a concentrated oxygen + ozone gas.
- 5) In the case of remodeling of existing facilities, the system can be installed with a small modification.
- 6) In the case of installation in existing drainage processing facilities, the installation work can be done without stopping the operation.
- 7) When the system is used under the environment where the water depth is less than 10 meters, no additional compressor is required.
- 8) The system can be installed in a limited space.
- *1 What is cavitation?Cavitation is a phenomenon by which liquid turns to vapor (bubbles) as a result of a decrease in pressure as speed increases, to a saturated vapor pressure level.When microscopic bubbles crush, they produce high temperature and high pressure energy, and become nano-bubbles in the array form, thereby providing greater force.
- *2 What is the Coanda effect?The Coanda effect is the nature by which a jet fluid changes direction along the surface of an object that is in its flow path, while remaining attached to it.
The effect also enhances the agitation of the jet fluid with a strong shear force.
Basic Mechanism of the Water Quality Control System
-
Turbulence phenomenon with strong agitation in the jet flow box.
*The rotational direction changes very fast.
- Purity number
Number of particles and frequency distribution 2 hrs after the foam jet treatment. Most of them fall within a bubble (particle) size under 1μm.
