Title: Christophe Sabourdy: Water-Treatment Innovation Through Ozone and Activated Carbon.

Introduction

Christophe Sabourdy is an inventor associated with Rennes, France, and Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies Support. His patent describes a water-treatment approach that combines ozone injection with adsorption on activated carbon.

Latest Patents

Sabourdy is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Treating Water by Adsorption on Activated Carbon Coupled with an Addition of Ozone, and Facility for Implementing Said Method.”

The method injects ozone into water through the Venturi effect, followed immediately by ozone saturation. The ozonated water then enters a reactor containing a fluidized bed of activated-carbon particles, where it flows upward and contacts the carbon before the treated water is discharged. The associated facility includes the reactor, water inlet and discharge arrangements, and equipment for ozone injection and saturation.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects Sabourdy’s work on integrating ozonation and activated-carbon treatment in a water-processing system. The described design brings ozone treatment and contact with activated carbon together in a continuous process.

Collaborations

Sabourdy is associated with Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies Support. Philippe Sauvignet is identified as a coworker.

Conclusion

Christophe Sabourdy’s patent presents a combined ozone-and-activated-carbon method for treating water, linking a defined treatment sequence with equipment designed to implement it.
