A method of and apparatus for treating liquids flowing in a thin film around a source of wave energy to directly expose the liquid to the wave energy, preferably generated in whole or part by an electrical arc between carbon electrodes. In addition to the wave energy generated by the electrical arc,
A method of and apparatus for treating liquids flowing in a thin film around a source of wave energy to directly expose the liquid to the wave energy, preferably generated in whole or part by an electrical arc between carbon electrodes. In addition to the wave energy generated by the electrical arc, energy generated by cavitation of the flowing liquid may be used in treating the liquid.

1. An apparatus for treating a chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprising: a cyclone separator having a first end, a second end, a central axis from the first end to the second end, an inlet, an overflow disposed in the first end, an underflow disposed in the second end, wherein the inlet is disposed proximate to the first end and creates a flow of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid along a vortex path from the first end to the second end of the cyclone separator;a first electrode extending through the overflow and a second electrode extending through the underflow, wherein both electrodes are at least partially disposed within the cyclone separator, spaced apart from one another, and axially aligned with one another along the central axis; andwherein the electrodes are used to create an open electrical arc that treats the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid as the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid flows along the vortex path in close proximity to and surrounding the electrical arc. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the electrodes comprise carbon. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprises a fluid containing MTBE, a fluid containing one or more pathogens, a fluid containing bacteria, a fluid containing mycobacteria, a fluid containing VOC's, a poultry chiller fluid, a marine ballast fluid, a spent caustic solution or a combination thereof. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the one or more pathogens comprise Anthrax or Legionella. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a DC power source connected to the electrodes. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the DC power source comprises one or more batteries or one or more solar powered batteries. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the electrical arc produces a wave energy. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light, infrared light and electrons. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light, infrared light, visible light, sonic waves, supersonic waves, ultrasonic waves, electrons or cavitations. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flow of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprises a thin film of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein only a gas separates the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid from the open electrical arc. 13. An apparatus for treating a chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprising: a cyclone separator having a first end, a second end, a central axis from the first end to the second end, an inlet, an overflow disposed in the first end, an underflow disposed in the second end, wherein the inlet is disposed proximate to the first end and creates a flow of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid along a vortex path from the first end to the second end of the cyclone separator;a first electrode extending through the overflow and a second electrode extending through the underflow, wherein both electrodes are at least partially disposed within the cyclone separator, spaced apart from one another, and axially aligned with one another along the central axis;a DC power source connected to the first electrode and the second electrode;wherein the electrodes are used to create an open electrical arc that treats the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid as the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid flows along the vortex path in close proximity to and surrounding the electrical arc; andwherein the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprises a fluid containing MTBE, a fluid containing one or more pathogens, a fluid containing bacteria, a fluid containing mycobacteria, a fluid containing VOC's, a poultry chiller fluid, a marine ballast fluid, a spent caustic solution or a combination thereof. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the electrodes comprise carbon. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the one or more pathogens comprise Anthrax or Legionella. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the DC power source comprises one or more batteries or one or more solar powered batteries. 17. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the electrical arc produces a wave energy. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light. 19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light, infrared light and electrons. 20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the wave energy comprises ultraviolet light, infrared light, visible light, sonic waves, supersonic waves, ultrasonic waves, electrons or cavitations. 21. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the flow of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid comprises a thin film of the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid. 22. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein only a gas separates the chemically or biologically contaminated fluid from the open electrical arc.
