A clarification system for water having entrained in solution or as an emulsion, broad spectrum contaminants. The system comprises a collision chamber having an entry aperture and an ion collider disposed in a central region therein. The ion collider treats the water and the contaminants with a plurality of free electrons. A separation chamber is disposed rearwardly of the collision chamber and is in flow communication with a first overflow weir for receiving the treated water and treated contaminants. An upstanding member in the separation chamber has a plurality of apertures sized to urge passage of the bulk of the treated contaminants through the apertures. A clarifying chamber is disposed rearwardly of the separation chamber and has a plurality of baffle plates obliquely oriented that urge upward flow of the treated water therethrough across the baffle plates. A water collection reservoir is disposed rearwardly of the clarifying chamber and is in flow communication with the clarifying chamber. A contaminant collection tank is disposed rearwardly of the water collection reservoir and is adapted with a contaminant receiving aperture that is in flow communication with a contaminant withdrawal trough in the clarifying chamber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention is defined by the appended claims with specific embodiments shown in the attached drawings.
For the purpose of summarizing the invention, the present invention provides a clarification system for emulsions.
The invention has a collision chamber with an entry aperture and an ion collider disposed in a central region therein.
As the emulsion passes through the ion collider, it passes over metal alloy surfaces and jetted against the metal alloy inner wall of the outer tube.
Passage over the alloy surfaces and jetting the liquid against the alloy surfaces liberates the free metal electrons from the outer shells of the alloy molecules, and an electrical charge is imparted to the water and its contaminant constituents.
The emulsion then passes into the lower part of the collision chamber, wherefrom it wells up over a first overflow weir disposed in a rearward region of the collision chamber and into the separation chamber.
The primary separation chamber is disposed rearward of the collision chamber and is in continuous flow communication with the collision chamber separated by the first overflow weir for receiving the treated water and the treated contaminants.
A wall is disposed in the rear of the separation chamber to control the flow of liquids out of the separation chamber.
This wall extends from the top of the chamber down to a level immediately below the hydrostatic level of the treated liquids.
This wall then continues at an angle to stop six to eight inches from the chamber floor.
In the upper part of this wall there is a plurality of apertures located at the level of the hydrostatic surface of the treated liquids.
These holes are dimensioned to allow passage of the film of separated contaminants that float on the surface of the electrically charged treated water from the (primary) separation chamber to a clarifying or secondary separation chamber.
A majority of the contaminants will separate to the surface in the primary chamber and the remaining water and trace contaminants are forced by hydrostatic pressure under the lower edge of the separating wall and up through a plurality of baffle plates obliquely disposed for urging the upward flow of the treated water across the rough surface of the baffle plates
