▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Portable system comprises a main fluid line adapted for fluid communication with a source of water, and a water injection device in fluid communication with the main fluid line for feeding at least one of fresh water, dissolved solid containing water, or salt water from the source of water into the main fluid line for further processing. An one or more filters arranged after the water injection device to filter the fresh water, dissolved solids containing water, or saltwater flowing through the main fluid line once the fresh water, dissolved solids containing water or saltwater is fed by the water injection device. USE - Portable system used for producing potable water and capable of both water filtration and desalination (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The portable system can preferably filter at a 0.05-micron level in its filtration mode, which is preferably separate from its desalination/purification mode at a 0.0001-micron level, and is preferably not attached to the case and can be entirely removed from the case preferably by the use of a top and bottom handle that can be provided for easy access to the internal components of the system for troubleshooting, performing maintenance, removing water from inside the case, etc, and has provided with an internal lithium battery pack to provide power, where no external power source is available. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Portable system comprises a main fluid line adapted for fluid communication with a source of water, and a water injection device in fluid communication with the main fluid line for feeding at least one of fresh water, dissolved solid containing water, or salt water from the source of water into the main fluid line for further processing. A one or more filters arranged after the water injection device to filter the fresh water, dissolved solids containing water, or saltwater flowing through the main fluid line once the fresh water, dissolved solids containing water or saltwater is fed by the water injection device. A disinfecting device for exposing fresh water, dissolved solid containing water, or salt water filtered by the one or more filters to at least one of a ultraviolet (UV) light, chlorine, disinfection liquid, disinfecting gas, ozone, post filtration filter, or ultrasonic frequencies for sterilization. A multi-directional valve in fluid communication with the main fluid line to selectively direct the fresh water, dissolved solid containing water, or salt water exposed to one of or more of, the UV light, chlorine, disinfecting liquid, disinfecting gas, or ultrasonic frequencies to one of a nano, ultra, micro filter system and to selectively based on a detected level of total dissolve solids from the source of water direct the feed water exposed to one of the UV light, chlorine, disinfection liquid, disinfecting gas, ozone, post filtration filter to a desalination system. The one of the nano, micro, or ultra-filter system comprises a first secondary fluid line in fluid communication with the valve, and one or more particle filters arranged within or as portion of the first secondary fluid line for filtering suspended solids from fresh water directed into the first secondary fluid line by the multi-directional valve. The desalination system includes a second secondary fluid line in fluid communication with the multi-directional valve, the multi-direction valve including at least one of a 3-way valve or two single valves, and at least one of a reverse osmosis ("RO") purification/desalination membrane, a graphene filter, or a carbon nanotube (CNT) arranged within or as portion of the second secondary fluid line for purifying and desalinating salt water directed into the second secondary fluid line by the multi-directional valve. A fluid output line for receipt of clean water exiting the at least one of a nano, ultra, carbon, or micro-filter and exiting the at least one of the RO purification/desalination membrane, the graphene filter, or the carbon nanotube (CNT). An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for producing consumable water from both fresh water and salinized water, which involves: (a) receiving water via a main fluid line from a source of water; (b) sensing a level at least one of dissolved salinized or total dissolved solid (TDS) in the water received via the main fluid line; (c) filtering the water received via the main fluid line with one or more filters; (d) directing automatically with at least one of a multi-directional valve or multiple two-way valves the filtered water to a particle filter system in response to sensing the level of at least one of salinized dissolved solids or total dissolved solid (TDS) in the water is below a predetermined threshold; (e) directing automatically with the multi-directional valve the filtered salinized water to a desalination system in response to sensing the level of at least one of salinized solids or total dissolved solid (TDS) in the water exceeding a predetermined threshold; and (f) outputting via a fluid output line clean water exiting the particle filter system or exiting the desalination system. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a block diagram and process flow of the portable system.
