Abstract

Methods and systems for enhancing of quality of liquid by treating a source liquid to enhance the concentration of low zeta potential crystals and produce a treated liquid having a higher concentration of low zeta potential crystals that that of the source liquid. The inventive system comprises an aqueous liquid source having a threshold concentration of selected minerals and a low zeta potential crystal generator for treating the aqueous source liquid to produce treated liquid having an enhanced concentration of low zeta potential crystals, and at least one filtration device for substantially removing bacteria, viruses, cysts, and the like from the treated source liquid.

Claims (20)

1. A method for treating liquid prior to distribution to livestock, comprising:
passing source liquid through a low zeta potential crystal generator and thereby producing feed liquid having an enhanced concentration of low zeta potential crystals; and passing the feed liquid through at least one filtration system to reduce concentration of microorganisms in the feed liquid, thereby producing treated liquid having an enhanced concentration of low zeta potential crystals and reduced microbial populations.
2. The method of Claim 1, wherein the zeta potential of mineral crystals in the feed liquid after passage through the low zeta potential crystal generator is at least 25% less than the zeta potential of mineral particles in the source liquid.
3. The method of any of Claims 1-2, wherein the zeta potential of mineral crystals in the feed liquid after passage through the low zeta potential crystal generator is at least 50%
less than the zeta potential of mineral particles in the source liquid.
4. The method of any of Claims 1-3, wherein the zeta potential of mineral crystals in the feed liquid after passage through the low zeta potential crystal generator is between about -5 mV and -9 mV.
5. The method of any of Claims 1-4, further comprising passing the source liquid through a pre-treatment system for substantially removing contaminants from the source liquid prior to treatment in the low zeta potential crystal generator, wherein the contaminants are selected from the group consisting of: debris, oils, and substances that would interfere with crystallization treatment.
6. The method of any of Claims 1-5, further comprising passing the source liquid through a pre-treatment system for introducing additives to the source liquid prior to treatment in the low zeta potential crystal generator, wherein the additives are selected from the group consisting of: Calcium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum, Silver, Cadmium, Gold, Platinum, and combinations thereof.
