The present disclosure relates to a sewage/wastewater treatment system using granular activated sludge and a membrane bio-reactor and a sewage/wastewater treatment method using the same that are configured to effectively remove pollutants contained in raw water through a granulation tank in which the granular activated sludge is contained and to allow the raw water to be filtered through movable membranes located on the upper portion of the granulation tank. The system includes: an indirect aeration tank adapted to supply air thereto to allow dissolved oxygen contained in raw water to reach a saturation concentration; a granulation tank adapted to allow floating microorganisms contained in the treated water passing through the indirect aeration tank to be granulated and having a sludge blanket formed thereon; and movable membranes located on the upper portion of the granulation tank in such a manner as to be movable in the granulation tank.

The present invention relates to a photobioreactor for treatment of the waste water. The photobioreactor comprises a treatment chamber for receiving a culture of algae, a water inlet for supplying waste water to said chamber, at least one light source provided within said chamber for providing light to said culture and at least one water outlet for removal of treated water. The at least one water outlet is further arranged in use to selectively remove a proportion of the biomass produced within said chamber when said biomass reaches a predetermined maximum level so as to maintain a continuous or substantially continuous culture of algae within said chamber.

A system for mixing and mixing processes and structures are disclosed. In addition a nozzle used for mixing is disclosed.

Fine-bubble-producing aeration units and large-bubble-producing (or other mechanical) mixing units are interspersed with each other in a given body of water to be treated. The two different types of units are independently controlled to independently regulate degrees of aeration and mixing in the given body of water.

The present disclosure provides a water treatment module, a bioreactor comprising one or more of such modules and a receptive water treatment system. Also provided herein is a method making use of the above module, bioreactor and system. The water treatment module comprises (i) at least one elongated gas enclosure comprising a gas inlet and two vertical walls, at least one vertical wall comprising a water-impermeable and gas-permeable membrane having a water-facing side and a gas-facing side, the two vertical walls separating between water external to the enclosure and gas within the enclosure, the gas enclosure being in a rolled or folded configuration to thereby define a convoluted horizontal path and one or more water-treatment spaces formed between opposite water facing sides of the enclosure; and (ii) a diffuser arrangement comprising gas diffusers configured for introducing a stream of gas into the one or more water treatment spaces.

The system comprises a pre-denitrification unit, an anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit, an advanced denitrification unit and a Fenton unit. The pre-denitrification unit is configured for hydrolyzing suspended pollutants and soluble organic matters in wastewater into organic acids, oxidizing ammonia nitrogen into nitrate, and finally converting the nitrate into nitrogen and absorbing phosphorus. The anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit is configured for converting a part of ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater into nitrite nitrogen through short-cut nitrifying bacteria and reacting the ammonia nitrogen with the nitrite nitrogen through anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria to generate nitrogen. The advanced denitrification unit is configured for reducing nitrate nitrogen into nitrogen through a carbon source and removing residual ammonia nitrogen, COD.sub.Cr and BOD.sub.5. The Fenton unit is configured for removing refractory organic matters and metal ions and adjusting the pH value of discharged water, so that the discharged water reaches the standard.

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems and methods for processing organic compounds, such as manure or other organic waste. Embodiments may comprise a first containment chamber, a first anaerobic chamber, and a second anaerobic chamber. A first anaerobic chamber may receive organic compounds from a first containment chamber, and may provide a fluid stream to a second anaerobic chamber. The second anaerobic chamber may comprise a substrate, such as lava rock, with bacteria growing thereon. Further, a sulfide gas treating unit may receive and treat sulfide gases from a first anaerobic chamber and/or a second anaerobic chamber. A water storage unit may receive and store waste water or effluent from a first anaerobic chamber and/or a second anaerobic chamber.
