3. 1. INTRODUCTION TO THASMS AQ3 Water is one of the most complicated and mysterious wonders of nature. The quality of human life and health depends on drinking clean detoxified water. Petr Carvan, inventor and expert from Prague's Nanotechnology Research Institute scored international success with a breakthrough invention, a technology that cleans "dead" water and turns it into excellent drinking water. And so today, the future technology AQ3, is proudly manufactured in Czech Republic. Advanced Product Labs took it one step forward and now exclusively markets it worldwide. Working together to provide solutions and clean up the world’s toxic waters, Petr continues to serve customers. There is no water system; municipal, industrial, manmade or natural on the planet that his unique recycling and purifying technology can’t help.

4. 1. INTRODUCTION TO THASMS AQ3 AQ3 cutting-edge space technology was designed for areas with less developed infrastructure and with little technological potential. It was created to clean up and solve the world’s existing water problems, not create new ones. With pride, Petr and his team with Advanced Product Labs presents three economic systems in one, with a multi voltage device that can be connected anywhere in the world, with technology capable of producing pure drinking water. This water is manufactured strictly by a physical process not a chemical one. Actively using the cascades consisting of some positive mix, this optimally designed technology is specially adapted for extremely low pressure in the range of micro filtration, ultra filtration, nano-filtration, and optical fibers and even in a series of parallel combinations, while keeping the carbonate equilibrium in which natural waters are located. It works reliably with the spiral pressure from 1.99 bar (29 psi) to 3.79 bar (55 psi) (offered with the basic equipment). The systems can be delivered in Basic, Premium or S and Professional versions.

5. 2. THASMS: Hybrid Technology Asymmetric of Selective Membranes Separation. Description of THASMS Asymmetric hybrid technology of selective membrane separation AQ3 reduces overall production costs while increasing product quality output – permeate. Experience with AQ3 modules in the field of membrane separation, date back almost to the beginnings of the commercial birth of this technology.

6. AQ3 Advanced Technology Physical separation Membrane separation of AQ3 THASMS is a physical separation process in which the main reason for function is a difference in pressure between two sides of the spiral membranes. This process is characterized by the ability to separate molecules of different sizes and characteristics. Almost all industrial membrane separation processes operate in “cross-flow” regime when filtered liquid flows under pressure at high speed parallel to the membrane. The type of AQ3 THASMS of membrane exploits the non-absorbability of the material and vacuum effect for the transport of the media.

7. AQ3 Advanced Technology Physical barrier Membrane separation system divides contaminants into two separate streams, known as the permeate and the retentate, (which doesn’t pass through the membrane.) Membrane that separates the two streams is a physical barrier with highly specific properties that lets only certain selected ingredients of processed substances passing through the membrane.

8. AQ3 Advanced Technology • Membrane permeability • The pores of the material from which the membrane is made are so small that it is necessary to indicate their size in Angstrom (1010 m) and where there is driving force behind the passage of liquid through the membrane, is a either vacuum or pressure gradient. In fact, the pores in membranes for nano-filtration and for reverse osmosis are so small that they are practically invisible, even under electron microscope.

9. Types of membrane separation • There are four well known categories of membranes, defined by size of the substances which are to be separated from contaminants by them. These categories are known as reverse osmosis, nano-filtration, ultra-filtration – in order of pore sizes from the smallest to the largest. AQ3 uses a scenario-parallel combination of all four types according to use, and it is call “Asymmetric hybrid technology” of selective membranes separation.

10. Reverse osmosis (RO) • Reverse osmosis (RO) Reverse osmosis uses a most tightly membrane from all the methods of liquid separation, using the highest operated pressure and energy consumption. Basically, water is the only substance that can pass through this membrane. All other substances (salts, sugars, etc.) do not pass through this membrane.

11. Nano-filtration (NF) • Nano-filtration (NF) Nano filtration is not as delicate as osmosis and uses membranes which are slightly larger, using lower operation pressures and is less demanding on power consumption. Nano-filtration allows the smallest ions through the membrane while larger ions and most organic compounds are retained.

12. Ultra-filtration (UF) • Ultra-filtration functions with membranes in which the pores are larger and pressures and energy consumption are relatively low. Salts, sugars, organic acids and small peptides permeate through membrane but proteins, fats and carbohydrates do not.

13. Membrane separation (MS) • Membrane separation can be either through vertical barrier so called “dead end” or separation in “cross-flow” arrangement. Combined separation in cross-flow arrangement provides significant benefits versus vertical separation and therefore is used in technology AQ3. Since the process fluid flows continuously over the diaphragm no sedimentation by stone mineral coating is creating which could lead to clogging and uneven flows. This process is significantly helped by the use of pulsed magnetic resonance which is an unique technology of AQ3. This allows running an automated and continuously separation process, resulting in a sustained and controlled quality of permeates. Membrane separation provides significant benefits when operate on industrial scale, when the reliability, reproducibility and operational cost are important.

14. The advantages are: • Low total cost of production • High quality of the final permeate • Flexibility

15. Membranes separation systems (MS)Lower cost of production • Membranes separation systems are often less expensive than many other alternative technologies. Installation cost is lower and so are energy costs. Membranes separation technology offers fewer technological steps. It delivers both a greater degree of purity and a higher overall yield. Because there is no formation during the membranes separation of sedimentary mineral rock coating, there are no extra costs associated with the removal and disposal of this waste.

16. Membrane Technology • High quality permeate Membranes separation technology is the purest known. The separation process takes place only on the basis of the size of molecules.

17. Flexibility Membranes separation • can be used for contaminants with a wide high range of viscosity, which are usually otherwise very difficult to treat. A large variety of different peripherals for membrane separations provides the optimization to choose a solution for each individual application. This eliminates a necessary energy cost.

18. About AQ3 • AQ3 equipment for membrane separation is designed in a modular concept, which offers a high degree of operational flexibility since the membranes are built in modules, which are then lined up into working loops. These loops are built into an entire system. The design of the system can therefore be adapted to any needs of each owner. In case of an increase of demand, Petre and his team will easily extend and modify the system. This means that whenever an increase in demand arises, the production can be increased at relatively low additional cost.
