Latest Patents

Noda’s listed latest patent, “Method and Apparatus for Separating Oil from Water in Wastewater,” describes treating wastewater containing surfactants and emulsified oil through diaphragm electrolysis. The process directs wastewater through an electrolyzer divided by a porous diaphragm, then routes the treated streams through a gas-liquid separator and a layer containing adhering material before oil-water separation. A portion of the wastewater is recirculated to the electrolysis feed, and the patent describes alternating electrode polarity at specified intervals as a preferred approach.

The supplied patent description appears twice in the provided information, so it is presented here as one invention. Noda is credited with 4 patents.
