Abstract

A device for reducing microorganisms comprising: an outer cylinder which liquid to be processed flows into; a mesh inner cylinder which is disposed inside the outer cylinder; and an ultrasonic oscillator which is disposed inside the mesh inner cylinder.

Claims (22)

1 . A device for reducing microorganisms comprising:

an outer cylinder which liquid to be processed flows into;

a mesh inner cylinder which is disposed inside the outer cylinder; and

an ultrasonic oscillator which is disposed inside the mesh inner cylinder.

2 . A device for reducing microorganisms according to claim 1 , wherein the mesh inner cylinder comprises:

a mesh cylindrical body; and

a bottom filter which is disposed at an end of the mesh cylindrical body,

wherein a pore diameter of the mesh cylindrical body is smaller than a pore diameter of the bottom filter, and

discharges processed liquid which passed through the bottom filter.

3 . A multi-connected device for reducing microorganisms wherein at least more than two devices according to claim 1 are interconnected and a UV lamp instead of an ultrasonic oscillator is disposed inside the inner cylinder of at least one of the devices.

4 . A multi-connected device for reducing microorganisms wherein at least more than two of the devices according to claim 2 are interconnected and a UV lamp instead of an ultrasonic oscillator is disposed inside the inner cylinder of at least one of these devices.

5 . A device for processing a liquid medium containing particulates comprising:

an inlet into which the liquid medium is introduced into the device,

an outlet from which the liquid medium subsequent to filtering and treatment exits the device,

an inner cylinder comprising a porous mesh that serves to remove some of the particulates from the liquid medium,

an outer cylinder that partially encircles the inner cylinder that is spaced from said inner cylinder to permit the inflow of such liquid medium into said device and into the inner cylinder and permit the accumulation of some of the particulates in a space located between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder,

a bottom filter comprising a porous mesh located immediately adjacent to the distal end of the inner cylinder and in the proximity of the drain of the device, the liquid medium flowing from the inner cylinder and then into the bottom filter prior to the liquid medium exiting the device, and

a drain for removing at least a portion of the particulates that accumulate in the space between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

6 . The device of claim 5 wherein said drain comprises a pump for circulating said particulates and preventing their excessive accumulation in the space between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

7 . The device of claim 6 wherein said pump also serves to siphon off and remove said particulates.

8 . The device of claim 5 further including a UV lamp disposed within the inner cylinder for treating the liquid medium that flows into the inner cylinder.

9 . The device of claim 5 further including an ultrasonic generator disposed within the inner cylinder for treating the liquid medium that flows into the inner cylinder.
