Newark Bay An Innovative Method of Removing Debris On July 14, 1999, Governor Christine Todd Whitman and Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (PVSC) christened the Skimmer Vessel "S. V. Newark Bay`; a boat specially designed to remove "floatables" (debris found on the water's surface) from the Passaic River and Newark Bay. PVSC purchased the 50-foot pontoon -style trash skimmer (a United Marine International TRASHCATTM model) through a grant from the State Office of Maritime Resources. The vessel uses a system of hydraulically controlled conveyors to remove floatables that are mainly due to combined and storm sewer overflows that occur during rainstorms. The skimmer can retrieve items up to four and one-half feet in diameter, and has the capacity to contain up to six tons of trash. Currently in the works are Stormwater Management and Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement projects that will greatly reduce the river's floatable burden. In the meantime, shoreline cleanups and the "S.V. Newark Bay" will go a long way toward achieving a trash -free river. The skimmer completed several preliminary outings and cleanup missions last fall, and will soon come out of dry dock to begin its first full season of cleanups. The scheduling of TRASHCATTM forays will be determined largely by conditions on the river. The higher lunar tides accompanying new and full moons typically bring more trash to the http://www.trashskimmer.cominewspassaic2.htm 6/23/2010 Trash Skimmer Boats Part of Passaic River Clean -Up Page 2 of 2 . i middle of the river. These will be prime opportunities for PVSC to make the best use of the skimmer boat. The vessel will also be used to supplement volunteer shoreline cleanup events. Communities such as North Arlington and Lyndhurst, and volunteer groups such as New Jersey Community Water Watch, have been picking up trash along the Passaic River shorelines for many years. In 1998, a program was launched that helps these and other concerned and dedicated groups in their efforts to revive a river system that was once one of the most polluted systems in the United States. Administered by Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (PVSC), with advocacy and coordination assistance from the Passaic River Coalition (PRC), this program is entitled the Passaic River/Newark Bay Restoration Program: Shoreline Cleanup Element. Through the Program, PVSC not only implements an independent cleanup effort utilizing PVSC employees and the skimmer boat "S. V. Newark Bay", but also brings considerable organizational infrastructure and financial resources to its volunteer cleanup sponsorship role. PVSC supplies participating municipalities, service organizations, schools, businesses, and concerned citizens with resources for a successful cleanup event. These resources include gloves, trash bags, boots, waders, rakes and anything else the volunteers may need. PVSC also provides dumpsters and hauling free of charge, and pays the dump charges for the river trash. The cleanups, which take place from March through December, have resulted in the removal of hundreds of tons of trash and debris from the river. This not only enhances the river's overall health, but also improves its appearance and aesthetic appeal. In addition, the program is a great community -builder that fosters appreciation and respect for the Passaic River, an invaluable natural resource.

He sits beside his vessel while she Is docked behind the City of Miami Riverside Administration Building. BY ANDRES VIGLUCCI, aviglucci@herald.com It slices, it dices. It chops, blends and ... Well, not quite, but the new decontamination boat operating on the Miami River is one neat package. In one swift, sucking motion, the Scavenger 2000 scoops up floating trash, removes a film of oil and bacteria from the water, then pumps cleansing, life -supporting oxygen into the river's sludgy current. Did we mention that it can also douse fires? Locally designed and right now the only boat of its kind, the 38- foot Scavenger has been plying the river and other urban Miami waterways for the past two months under a $200,000 demonstration project run by the Miami River Commission and funded by the city and state. It replaces the old river garbage scow, a vessel whose decontamination technologies consisted of rakes and poles with a net at the end. It was discontinued a few years ago. And what a difference the Scavenger brings. It maneuvers like a go-kart, spinning 360 degrees on its axis to vacuum riverborne debris from hard -to -reach crevices. CHICKENS, PUMPKINS But some things don't change. the Scavenger's daily finds include loads of dead chickens and bobbing pumpkins - offerings tossed into the river to please the gods of Santerfa. When I first started working, I didn't understand why I was picking up a lot of chickens," said the Scavenger's captain and sole crewman, Paul Brown, who commutes to Miami from less exotic Pompano Beach. "Now I do." The Scavenger program is meant to provide further impetus to a transformation of the long - neglected and polluted river that now appears well under way. Dredging of toxic sediment at the waterway's bottom, in the works for 15 years, is scheduled to begin CLEANING THE WATER How the 'Scavenger's' onboard water treatment system works: DEFLECTOR Aids in maneuvering the boat.

Developers are submitting a host of proposals to the city for condos and cafes along the river, and construction has begun on portions of a riverwalk designed to wend upriver from downtown Miami. Sponsors hope the dredging, with the Scavenger's help, will encourage the return of wildlife and human life to the river by improving water quality, not to mention keeping the river free of the foam cups, plastic bottles and other litter that strollers and condo dwellers might find unappealing. "We hope people will think of the Miami River in a different way," said Irela Bagud, a board member at the South Florida Water Management District, which is providing some of the money for the Scavenger tryout. The boat, owned and designed by Water Management Technologies, addresses a long-standing problem. A city storm -water system drains into the river, dumping pesticides, oil, bacteria and a lot of trash into it. Those pollutants, which now get flushed into Biscayne Bay, will continue to flow even after dredging.

A single pass through the vessel's systems can reduce bacteria in water by 48 percent, coliform by a third, and algae counts by half, according to an analysis by Nova Southeastern University's Oceanographic Center. WATER BENEFIT "What it does to the water is far more important than the trash pickup," said J. Stephen Fancher, president of the Florida Export Finance Corp., a state agency also partially funding the program. This is how it works: The boat's propeller is set in a tunnel in the hull. When mechanical jaws at the bow open, the prop sucks water through the hull at a rate of 36,487 liters a minute. A scoop at the bow picks up trash, which goes into a big basket on deck. Then the top two inches of water is skimmed off and bacteria, algae spores and oil sheen are removed, without chemicals, through use of an absorbent material. Finally, a pump injects oxygen into the water before it's pushed out the stern. LYNN DCCHIUZZD/ HERALD STAFF The boat also boasts a potent water cannon, to clean shorelines and, should the need arise, to fight fires. The boat runs seven days a week, 10 hours a day. The demonstration project ends Sept. 30, but sponsors expect the contract to be extended for a year. For designer Jacques Des Aulniers, the program doubles as a showcase. He is hoping to demonstrate the Scavenger's prowess to potential buyers. So far, so good. A report on the first 60 days of operation says it has picked up more than 2,000 cubic feet of trash - comprising plastic, glass, lumber, coconuts and tree limbs, among other detritus; discovered 133 hazards to navigation, including shopping carts and a bookcase, which were removed; decontaminated 123 million gallons of water; and removed carcasses of dogs, cats and, yes, chickens. And that's been as weird as it's gotten, Capt. Brown said. "No dead bodies. No arms," he said. "Just a sock monkey. I felt bad. Some poor kid is all broken- hearted, and I'm taking it to the landfill." losiMelil (12) INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION PUBLISHED UNDER THE PATENT COOPERATION TREATY (PCT) (19) World Intellectual Property Organization International Bureau (43) International Publication Date 9 March 2006 (09.03.2006) PCT 11111111111 11111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 (10) International Publication Number WO 2006/026150 A2 (51) International Patent Classification: CO2F 1/78 (2006.01) (21) International Application Number: PCT/US2005/029084 (22) International Filing Date: 16 August 2005 (16.08.2005) (25) Filing Language: (26) Publication Language: English English (30) Priority Data: 10/930,688 31 August 2004 (31.08.2004) US (71) Applicant (for all designated States except US): USA PELICAN, INC.

(54) Title: VESSEL WITH OXYGENATION SYSTEM AND DECONTAMINATION METHOD 0 stc • (57) Abstract: The waterborne vessel (10) utilizes an underwater tunnel (14) through which passes flowing water, an ozone gas ® generator (44), an ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas generator (46) and a source of atmospheric oxygen (40). A manifold mixer (42) 0 mixes pressurized water (48) independently with the ozone, the ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas and the atmospheric oxygen to N produce corresponding oxygenated water mixtures. Each of these oxygenated water mixtures are fed via a conduit system (50, 60a, ® 60b) into the confined flow (62) of water passing through the tunnel. A diversion channel (70) with reverse flow channel (72) permits super saturation of diverted flow from the primary underwater tunnel channel (76) to provide super saturated oxygenated water with ozone plus hydroxyl radical gases and atmospheric oxygen water mixtures. A decontamination method is also provided. PURE 02 (-46 UV LIGHT SOURCE OF WATER WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 VESSEL WITH OXYGENATION SYSTEM AND DECONTAMINATION METHOD Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a waterborne vessel with an oxygenation system which decontaminates surrounding water and a method therefor. Background [0002] Ozone (03) is one of the strongest oxidizing agents that is readily available. It is known to eliminate organic waste, reduce odor and reduce total organic carbon in water. Ozone is created in a number of different ways, including ultraviolet (UV) light, and corona discharge of electrical current through a stream of air or other gazes oxygen stream, among others. Ozone is formed when energy is applied to oxygen gas (02). The bonds that hold oxygen together are broken and three oxygen molecules are combined to form two ozone molecules. The ozone.. breaks down fairly quickly and as it does so it reverts back to pure oxygen, that is, an 02 molecule. The bonds that hold the oxygen atoms together are very weals which is why ozone acts as a strong oxidant. In addition, it is known that hydroxyl radicals OH also act as, a purification gas. Hydroxyl radicals are formed when ozone, ultraviolet radiation and moisture are combined. Hydroxyl radicals are more powerful oxidants than ozone. Both ozone and hydroxyl radical gas break down over a short period of time (about 8 15 minutes) into oxygen. Hydroxyl radical gas is a condition in the fluid or gaseous mixture. [0003] Some bodies of water have become saturated with high levels of natural or man made materials which have a high biological oxygen demand and which in turn have created an eutrophic or anaerobic environment. It would be beneficial to clean these waters utilizing the various types of ozone and hydroxyl radical gases. Disclosure of the Invention [0004] The waterborne vessel, in one embodiment, utilizes an underwater tunnel through which passes flowing water, an ozone gas generator, an ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas generator and a source of atmospheric oxygen. A manifold mixer mixes pressurizedwater independently with the ozone, the ozone plus hydroxyl WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029054 2 radical gas and the atmospheric oxygen to produce corresponding oxygenated water mixtures. Each of these oxygenated water mixtures are fed via a conduit system into the confined flow of water passing through the tunnel. A diversion channel with reverse flow channel permits super saturation of diverted flow from the primary underwater tunnel channel to provide super saturated oxygenated water with ozone plus hydroxyl radical gases and atmospheric oxygen water mixtures. A decontamination method is also provided. [0005] One advantage of the present invention is to provide a waterborne vessel with an oxygenation system and a method to decontaminate surrounding water wherein ozone and/or hydroxyl radical gas is injected, mixed and super saturated with a flow of water through the waterborne vessel. [0006] Another advantage of the present invention is to provide a super saturization channel which significantly increases the amount of time the ozone. and/or hydroxyl radical gas mixes in a certain flow volume of water thereby oxygenating the water and decontaminating that defined volume of flowing water prior to further mixing with other water subject to additional oxygenation in the waterborne vessel. [0007] A further advantage of the present invention is to provide a mixing manifold to mix the ozone independent with respect to the hydroxyl radical gas and independent with respect to atmospheric oxygen and wherein the resulting oxygenated water mixtures are independently fed into a confined water bound space in the waterborne vessel to oxygenate a volume of water flowing through that confined space.

Best Mode for Carrying Out Invention [0024] The present invention relates to a waterborne vessel with an oxygenation system anda method to decontaminate water surround the vessel. [0025] FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates waterborne vessel 10 having an oxygenation system 12 disposed in an underwater tunnel 14 beneath the waterline of vessel 10. In general, water flow is established through tunnel 14 based upon the opened/closed position of gills 16 and the operation of the propeller at propeller region 18. Tunnel 14 is sometimes called a decontamination tunnel. the tunnel may be a chamber which holds the water to be decontaminated a certain period of time such that the gasses interact with the water to oxidize the critical compounds in the water. Water flow through tunnel 14 is oxygenated and cleaned. Rudder 20 controls the direction of vessel 10 and deflector blade or vane 22 controls the direction of the output flow of oxygenated water either directly astern of the vessel or directly downwards into lower depths of the body of water as generally shown in FIG. 9. The flow path varies from full astern to full down. Lifting mechanism 24 operates to lift deflector blade 22 from the lowered position shown in FIG. 1 to a raised position shown in FIG. 8A. Blade 22 can be placed in various down draft positions to alter the ejected flow of the oxygenated,,partially treated water from the body of water surrounding vessel 10. [0026] The crew may occupy cabin 26. A trash canister 28 receives trash from trash bucket 30. Trash bucket 30 is raised and lowered along vertical guide 32. Similar numerals designate similar items throughout the drawings. [0027] FIG. 2 diagrammatically shows a side elevational view of vessel 10 without the trash bucket and without cabin 26. It should be noted that the waterborne vessel need not include trash container 28 and trash gathering bucket 30. The vessel includes oxygenation system 14 which oxygenates a flow of water through underwater tunnel 14. WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 5 [0028] FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates a top schematic view of vessel 10. Bow 34 has laterally extending bow wings 36, 38 that permit a flow of water into an -upper deck region. Trash bucket 30 is lowered into this flow of water on the upper deck to capture floating debris and trash from the water being cleaned by the vessel 10. The trash bucket 30 (FIG. 1) is then raised and the contents of bucket 30 is poured over into trash container 28. The extended position of bow wings 36, 38 is shown in dashed lines. [0029] FIG. 4A shows one embodiment of the oxygenation system. A source of oxygen 40, commonly atmospheric oxygen gas, is supplied to a gas manifold 42. In addition, oxygen gas (atmospheric oxygen gas) is supplied to extractor 43 (manufactured by Pacific Ozone) which creates pure oxygen and the pure oxygen is fed to a corona discharge ozone generator 44. The corona discharge ozone generator 44 generates pure ozone gas which gas is applied to gas manifold 42. Ozone plus. hydroxyl radical gases are created by a generator 46 which includes a UV light device that generates both ozone and hydroxyl radical gases. Oxygen and some gaseous water (such as present in atmospheric oxygen) is fed into generator 46 to create the ozone plus hydroxyl radical gases. The ozone plus hydroxyl radical gases are applied to gas manifold 42. Atmospheric oxygen from source 40 is also applied to gas manifold 42. Although source oxygen 40 could be bottled oxygen and not atmospheric oxygen (thereby eliminating extractor 43), the utilization of bottled oxygen increases the cost of operation of oxygenation system 12. Also, the gas fed to generator 46 must contain some water to create the hydroxyl radical gas. A pressure water pump 48 is driven by a motor M and is supplied with a source of water. Pressurized water is supplied to air/gas manifold 50. Water/gas manifold 50 independently mixes ozone and pressurized water as compared with ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas plus pressurized water as compared with atmospheric oxygen plus pressurized water. In the preferred embodiment, water is fed through a decreasing cross -sectional tube section 52 which increases the velocity of the water as it passes through narrow construction 54. A venturi valve (shown in FIG. 4B) draws either ozone or ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas or atmospheric oxygen into the restricted flow zone 54. .The resulting water -gas mixtures constitute first, second and WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 6 third oxygenated water mixtures. The ventri valve pulls the gases from the generators and the source without requiring pressurization of the gas. [0030] FIG. 4B shows a venturi valve 56 which draws the selected gas into the pressurized flow of water passing through narrow restriction 54. [0031] FIG. 4C shows that oxygenated water carrying ozone can be generated using a UV ozone generator 45. Water is supplied to conduit 47, the water passes around the UV ozone generator and oxygenated water is created. This oxygenated water is ultimately fed into the decontamination tunnel which is described more fully in connection with the manifold system 50 in FIG. 4A. [0032] In FIG. 4A, different conduits, such as conduits 60A, 60B and 60C, for example, carry ozone mixed with pressurized water (a first oxygenated water mixture) and ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas and pressurized water (a second oxygenated water mixture) and atmospheric oxygen gas plus pressurized water (a third oxygenated water mixture), respectively which mixtures flow through conduits 60A, 60B and 60C into the injector site in the decontamination tunnel. The output of these conduits, that is conduit output ports 61A, 61B and 61C, are separately disposed both vertically and laterally apart in an array at intake 62 of tunnel 14 (see FIG. 1). Although three oxygenated water mixtures are utilized herein, singular gas injection ports may be used. [0033] FIG. 12 shows atmospheric oxygen gas from source 40 which is first pressurized by pump 180 and then fed to extractor 43 to produce pure ozone, and ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas UV generator 46 and is fed to conduits carrying just the pressurized oxygen to injector matrix 182. The pure ozone form extractor 43 is fed to an ozone gas generator 44 with a corona discharge. these three pressurized gases (pure ozone, ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas and atmospheric oxygen) is fed into a manifold shown as five (5) injector ports for the pure ozone, four (4) injector ports for the ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas and six (6) ports for the pressurized atmospheric oxygen gas. This injector matrix can be spread out vertically and laterally over the intake of the decontamination tunnel as shown in connection with FIG. 4A and 5. WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 7 [0034] FIG. 5 diagrammatically illustrates a side elevational schematic view of oxygenation system 12 and, more particularly, tunnel 14 of the waterborne vessel. A motor 59 drives a propeller in propeller region 18. In a preferred embodiment, when gills 16 are open (see FIG. 6), propeller in region 18 creates a flow of water through tunnel 14 of oxygenation system 12. A plurality of conduits 60 each independently carry either an oxygenated water mixture with ozone or an oxygenated water mixture with ozone plus hydroxy radical gases or an oxygenated water mixture with atmospheric oxygen. These conduits are vertically and laterally disposed with outputs in an array at the intake 64 of the tunnel 14. A plurality of baffles, one of which is baffle 66, is disposed downstream of the conduit output ports, one of which is output port 61A of conduit 60A. Tunnel 14 may' have a larger number of baffles 66 than illustrated herein. The baffles create turbulence which slows water flow through the tunnel and increases the cleansing of the water in the tunnel with the injected oxygenated mixtures due to additional time in the tunnel and turbulent flow. [0035] FIG. 6 diagrammatically shows a schematic top view of oxygenation system 12. The plurality of conduits, one of which is conduit 60A, is disposed laterally away from other gas/water inj ection ports at intake 64 of tunnel 14. In order to supersaturate a part of the water flow, a diversion channel 70 is disposed immediately downstream a portion or all of conduits 60 such that a portion of water flow through tunnel intake 64 passes into diversion channel 70. Downstream of diversion channel 70 is a reverse flow channel 72. The flow is shown in dashed lines through diversion channel 70 and reverse flow channel 72. The primary purposes of diversion channel 70 and reverse flow channel 72 are to (a) segregate a portion of water flow through tunnel 14; (b) inject, in apreferred embodiment, ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas as well as atmospheric oxygen into that sub -flow through diversion channel 70; and (c) increase the time the gas mixes and interacts with that diverted channel flow clue to the extended time that diverted flow passes through diversion channel 70 and reverse flow channel 72. These channels form a supersaturation channel apart from main or primary flow through tunnel 14. [0036] Other flow channels could be created to increase the amount of time the hydroxyl radical gas oxygenated water mixture interacts with the diverted flow. For example, diversion channel 70 may be configured as a spiral or a banded sub -channel WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 8 about a cylindrical tunnel 14 rather than configured as both a diversion channel 70 and a reverse flow channel 72. A singular diversion channel maybe sufficient. The cleansing operation of the decontamination vessel is dependent upon the degree of pollution in the body of water surrounding the vessel. Hence, the type of oxygenated water and the amount of time in the tunnel and the length of the tunnel and the flow or volume flow through the tunnel are all factors which must be taken into account in designing the decontamination system herein. In any event, supersaturated water and gas mixture is created at least the diversion channel 70 and then later on in the reverse flow channel 72. The extra time the entrapped gas is carried by the limited fluid flow through the diversion channels permits the ozone and the hydroxyl radical gas to interact with organic components and other compositions in the entrapped water, cleaning the water to a greater degree as compared with water flow through central region 76 of primary tunnel 14. In the preferred embodiment, two reverse flow channels and two diversion channelsare provided on opposite sides of a generally rectilinear tunnel 14. FIG. 4A shows the rectilinear dimension of tunnel 14. Other shapes and lengths and sizes of diversion channels may be used. [0037] When the oxygenation system is ON, gills 16 are placed in their outboard position thereby extending the length of tunnel 14 through an additional elongated portion of vessel 10. See FIG. 1. Propeller in region 18 provides a propulsion system for water in tunnel .14 as well as a propulsion system for vessel 10. Other types of propulsion systems for vessel 10 and the water through tunnel 14 may be provided. The important point is that water flows through tunnel 14 and, in a preferred embodiment, first, second and third oxygenated water mixtures (ozone + pressurized water; ozone + hydroxyl radical gas + pressurized water; and atmospheric oxygen + pressurized water) is injected into an input region 64 of a tunnel which is disposed beneath the waterline of the vessel. [0038] In the preferred embodiment, when gills 16 are closed or are disposed inboard such that the stern most edge of the gills rest on stop 80, vessel 10 can be propelled by water flow entering the propeller area 18 from gill openings 80A, 80B. When the gills are closed, the oxygenation system is OFF. [0039] FIG. 7 diagrammatically illustrates the placement of various conduits in the injector matrix. The conduits are specially numbered or mapped as 1-21 in FIG. 7. The WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 9 following Oxygenation Manifold Chart shows what type of oxygenated water mixture which is fed into each of the specially numbered conduits and injected into the intake 64 of tumiel 14. Oxygenation Manifold Chart Gas Tubes 03+OH 1,8,16;7,15,17 03 3, 4, 5, 11,12,13 02 2, 9, 10, 18, 20; 6, 14, 19, 21 [0040] As noted above, generally an ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas oxygenated water mixture is fed at the forward -most points of diversion channel 70 through conduits 7, 15, 17, 1, 8 and 16. Pure oxygen (in the working embodiment, atmospheric oxygen) oxygenated water mixture is fed generally downstream of the hydroxyl radical gas injectors at conduits 19, 21, 18, 20. Additional atmospheric oxygen oxygenated water mixtures are fed laterally inboard of the hydroxyl radical gas injectors at conduits 6, 14, 2, 9, and 10. In contrast, ozone oxygenated water mixtures are fed at the intake 64 of central tunnel region 76 by conduit output ports 5, 4, 3, 13, 12, and 11. Of course, other combinations and orientations of the first, second and third oxygenated water mixtures could be injected into the flowing stream of water to be decontaminated. However, applicant currently believes that the ozone oxygenated water mixtures has an adequate amount of time to mix with the water from the surrounding body of water in central tunnel region 76 but the hydroxyl radical gas from injectors 7, 15, 17, 1, 8, 16 need additional time to clean the water and also need atmospheric oxygen input (output ports 19, 21, 8, 20) in order to supersaturate the diverted flow in diversion channel 70 and reverse flow channel 17. The supersaturated flow from extended channels 70, 72 is further injected into the mainstream tunnel flow near the tunnel flow intake. [0041] Further additional mechanisms can be provided to directly inj ect the ozone and the ozone plus hydroxyl radical gas and the atmospheric oxygen into the intake 64 of tunnel 14. Direct gas injection may be possible although water through -put may be reduced. Also, the water may be directly oxygenated as shown in FIG. 4C and then injected into the tunnel. The array of gas injectors, the amount of gas (about 5psi of the WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 10 outlets), the flow volume of water, the water velocity and the size of the tunnel (cross - sectional and length) all affect the degree of oxygenation and decontamination. [0042] Currently, flow through underwater channel 14 is, at a minimum, 1,000 gallons per minute and, at a maximum, a flow of 1800 gallons per minute is achievable. Twenty-one oxygenated water mixture output jets are distributed both vertically (FIGS. 4A and 5) as well as laterally and longitudinally (FIGS. 6 and 7) about intake 64 of tunnel 14. It is estimated that the hydroxyl radical gas needs about 5-8 minutes of reaction time in order to change or convert into oxygen. Applicant estimates that approximate 15-25% of water flow is diverted into diversion channel 70. Applicant estimates that water in the diversion channel flows through the diverters in approximately 5-7 seconds. During operation when the oxygenation system is operating, the boat can move at 2-3 knots. The vessel need not move in order to operate the oxygenation system. [0043] FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment which is possible but seems tobe less efficient. A supply of oxygen 40 is fed into an ozone generator 44 with a corona discharge. The output of ozone gas is applied via conduit 90 into a chamber 92. Atmospheric oxygen or air 94 is also drawn into chamber 92 and is fed into a plurality of horizontally and vertically disposed nozzles 96. Manifold 98 consists of a plurality of oxygenation nozzles 96. Manifold 98 can be raised or lowered by any appropriate means. In the illustrated embodiment, rotating threaded sleeve 110 operates on threaded rod 112 to raise and lower oxygenation manifold 98. Diverter blade 22 can be raised and lowered by another mechanism generally shown as lifting mechanism 24 in FIG. 1. Shaft 114 drives propeller 116 to provide a propulsion system to move water through tunnel 118. FIG. 8A shows that the water propulsion system to move the water through the tunnel could be forward the tunnel intake 64 shown in FIG. 6. The alternative embodiment also shows that the tunnel may be foreshortened. [0044] FIG. 8B is a detail showing gas injection nozzle 96 and water flow 120 passing through restricted flow channel 122. [0045] FIG. 9 diagrammatically shows that diversion blade 22, when rotated downward as shown by arrow 142, directs oxygenated and treated water output 144 y the oxygenation systems into lower depths of the body of water being treated by vessel 10. [0046] FIG. 10 diagrammatically illustrates aeration injector manifold 98. WO 2006/026150 PCT/US2005/029084 11 [0047] FIG. 11 shows aeration injectors 96 having a forward inverted V shaped body 160 and a rearward generally oval shaped body 162. Air plus ozone is pumped or drawn into the interior region 164 of V shaped body 160. Water flow is directed through constricted channel 122 and a high degree of turbulence in region 166 mixes the ozone with the water flow through constricted channel 122. This turbulence in restricted flow channel 122 causes the ozone and atmospheric oxygen to mix with the water flow thereby oxygenating the water. [0048] FIG. 12 shows apressurized gas system with injector matrix 180 andpump 180 which has been described earlier.

Our objective is to help clean the waters of the world. These are the results for the operation of the Scavenger2000 Decontamination Vessel performed on the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County waterways for the period of last five years. The City of Miami has contracted $200,000.00 per fiscal year for the Scavenger2000 Decontamination Vessel Services to operate 20 hours per week (reduced to $176,000.00 in the fiscal year 2009-2010), and some additional funds for more service hours are periodically provided from Miami -Dade County and other grants when available. In addition to these funds, a contribution of 5 or more free service hours per week is made to the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County from the Scavenger2000 owners at no cost to the City of Miami or Miami -Dade County. This contribution amounts to over $250,000 value over the past 5 years. Please see below a general report of amounts of debris collected, injected oxygen, and gallons of water disinfected through our patented Oxy-Plus system equipped Scavenger2000. An average of 48,572 of cubic feet of trash have been swept from the waters under the jurisdiction of the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County over the last five years. By removing this surface debris, we reduce contaminants in the waterways; eliminate potential navigational collisions with noiival boating traffic and prevent debris from washing up on our shorelines. The Scavenger2000 removes debris as small as bottle caps to large debris, such as 55 gallon drums, large dock pilings, wooden pallets, mattresses, large wood boards, and such. Please see attached pictures. Mother Nature provides her own set of trash items. Some of these include coconuts; palm fronds, tree limbs, small branches, leaves and sea grass which are all collected on a regular basis. Very strong foul odors are emitted from the floatable debris where bacteria and other contaminants lodge themselves. The Scavenger2000's ability to remove floatable debris and trash from the surface of the water allows nature's ability to oxygenate the water. Approximately 1-2% of our trash includes carcasses of dogs, cats, and a few small fish but mostly chickens, and bags of rotting meat from local fishing fleets. We are also working closely with USCG when we find navigational hazards too large for collection. We have found that the Coast Guard has very little resources to help discard any navigational hazard, therefore leaving the task generally to the Scavenger2000. We also report directly to the Department of Homeland Security in order to report any suspicious activities under the territory of the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County. Please attached letter from Homeland Security Department. The Scavenger2000 has injected an average of 635 millions of liters of oxygen into the area waters we have been working in. Attached you will find a brief description of the benefits of oxygenation. Please find attached report for Dissolved Oxygen Levels before and after performance of the Scavenger2000. The Scavenger2000 has treated an average of 3,225 millions of gallons of water that were disinfected through our Oxy-Plus decontamination system at a rate of 10 thousand gallons of water per minute oxidizing bacteria, viruses, algae, and some nutrients. Please see attached rate of efficiency of the Oxy-Plus System. The Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) monitors the City of Miami and Miami -Dade water quality by performing monthly e-coli and turbidity samples which were taken at several set testing locations for the last 10 years. The Scavenger2000 originally started its services on the Miami River in 2003. Since the Implementation of the services of the scavenger2000 DERM's testing results indicate a noticeable decrease in e-coli and turbidity concentration. Please see attached report from DERM. In the case of Turbidity tracking also provided by DERM, positive results were immediately noticeable. Please refer to the attached Turbidity tracking report. Because of the City of Miami's fiscal budget and yearly maintenance schedule of the Scavenger2000 taking place in the month of September of every year, services were not rendered over the years in the month of September. DERM's water quality testing results indicate increases in fecal coliform and turbidity in the months of September over the last 5 years. When the Scavenger2000 services resume in October the water Quality results indicate improvements in water quality. Our company has conducted research on obtaining reports on the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) for the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County. According to a representative from DERM, the department does not test for BOD, therefore, no records were found. In addition, the tests for BOD are not cost effective, and therefore not a test performed by our company. Please see attached letter from FDEP to the City of Miami stating, "The department has deteiiiiined that the City has met all of the requirements of this condition with the implementation of the Scavenger2000 pollution boat and is considered to be in compliance with this section of the consent to order". The Scavenger's multi -purpose capabilities are a proven cost-effective addition to the continued effort of the City of Miami to keep the waterways both clean and safe. We have received compliments and gratitude from the following businesses along the City of Miami Waterways including; Hurricane Cove Marina, Merrill -Stevens, Bassas Cargo, Fennigan's River, Garcia's, Bayside Marina, Davis Canal residents, Ademar canal residents, Grove Key Marina, just to name a few. We are proud to be part of the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County's efforts in combating water pollution. We have hosted many delegations from around the world to witness the Scavenger2000 in action in our waterways, and all praise the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County for the conscientiousness and foresight to keep our waterways clean. Please see enclosed just a few pictures of the Scavenger2000 performing its duties on the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County waterways... A picture is worth a thousand words...
