Development of innovative modular natural water treatment systems using advanced phosphorus control for use in new and existing swimming pool and water remediation applications . A proposal by Clear Water Revival Ltd

天然游泳池(NSP)为氯消毒系统提供了一种对生态有益的、低能耗的替代方案，同时也提供了与自然环境相一致的生态设计机会。特别是，NSP不含任何人造化学物质，可以全年使用晶莹剔透的水，需要的抽水能量最多减少10倍，最高可加热到28摄氏度。英国、欧盟和美国对这类系统的市场需求很大，消费者意识到与氯气系统、高昂的化学和电力成本以及自然环境中的化学物质积累相关的有害健康风险。尽管天然游泳池技术对环境、用户和健康有明显的好处，但由于技术障碍，NSP的全球市场接受度有限。这项提议的主旨是开发低成本和模块化的天然(不含化学物质)过滤系统，过滤器设计有可能取代氯作为新建和翻新水池应用消毒的行业标准。衍生应用包括修复大型水体(如湖泊)以消除藻华，以及污染控制。目的和目标：利用研究和科学论文确定最佳过滤介质的潜在候选名单对一系列过滤介质进行科学测试，以确定比较非生物和生物固定磷的方法通过测试滤料体积与水量的最佳比例、化学条件、温度和流速对系统效率和寿命的影响来优化过滤系统设计和测试一系列按比例缩小的模块化过滤器设计，以确保以最少的电力实现最佳功能，以开发一个功能齐全的池式基本原型过滤器系统

Natural swimming pools (NSPs) offer an ecologically beneficial, low energy alternative tochlorine-disinfected systems, while also providing ecological design opportunities that are in keeping with the natural environment. In particular NSPs contain no man made chemicals what so ever, can function year round with crystal clear water, require up to 10 times less pumping energy and can be heated up to 28 degrees.There is a strong market need for such systems in the UK, EU & US, with consumersbecoming aware of the adverse health risks associated with chlorine systems, high chemical & electricity costs, and chemical build up in our natural environment.Despite the clear environmental, user, and health benefits of natural swimming pooltechnology, the global market uptake of NSPs is limited due to technology barriers.The thrust of this proposal is to develop low cost and modular, natural (chemical free)filtration systems, which are able to overcome these barriers and which will also address the shortcomings of chlorine pool sanitation.The filter design has the potential to replace chlorine as the industry standard for sanitisation of new build and retrofit pool applications. Spin off applications include remediation of large water bodies (e.g. lakes) to remove algal blooms, and pollution control.Aims and Objectives:Using research and scientific papers to identify a potential shortlist of optimum filter mediaTo conduct scientific tests on a range of filter media to determine comparative non-biological and biological fixation of phosphorusTo optimise the filter system by testing optimum ratios of filter media volume to watervolume, the effects of chemical condition, temperature & flow rates on system efficacy and longevityTo design and test a range of scaled down modular filter designs in order to ascertain optimal functionality with minimum electricity To develop a functional pool-scale basic prototype filter system
