This disclosure provides systems and methods for improving the performance of a water pumping station. A server can be configured to receive data from a plurality of sensors included within the water utility plant. The server can cleanse the data received from the water utility plant to generate cleansed data. The server can prepare the cleansed data for use by the water utility plant to generate plant-specific data. The server also can generate real-time analytic data based on the plant-specific data.

The present disclosure relates to a novel process to control odors from manure by digesting the manure into Methane. Embodiments may comprise a two stage anaerobic digestion process to digest the wastes and remove the nutrients from the wastewater. The initial anaerobic digestion is carried out in a closed vessel to capture any gassed released and otherwise proceeds as current practices are. The wastewater from the first stage digestion is then pumped into a second reaction vessel. This vessel reproduces the conditions that produce natural gas (methane) in the geologic setting, with high temperatures and high pressures.

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

An ozone treatment apparatus includes: an ozone gas generator that generates ozone gas from raw material gas; a sludge pump that pressurizes sludge to be treated; an ejector in which the sludge to be treated, which is pressurized by the sludge pump, is injected; and a valve provided between the ozone gas generator and the ejector. The valve becomes in an open state when pressure on the former stage side is larger than pressure on the latter stage side by a specified value or higher. An ozone gas storage facility may be provided between the ozone gas generator and the valve. A sludge mixing tank installed in the latter stage of the ejector and a sludge circulation pump that connects an upper part of the sludge mixing tank and the latter stage of the sludge pump may be provided.

Described herein are systems and methods for treatment of contaminated water employing a mobile supported biofilm. The treatment systems include a bioreactor, a mobile biofilm disposed within the bioreactor, and a solid-solid separation unit attached to the bioreactor. The solid-solid separation unit is adapted to receive an effluent stream from the bioreactor, wherein the effluent contains the mobile biofilm, and separate at least a portion of the mobile biofilm from the effluent and return it to the bioreactor.

A plant for the anaerobic purification of waste and/or process water comprising: i) a reactor tank with at least one feed line for supplying waste and/or process water into tank and with at least one outflow line for draining a mixture of microorganisms, waste and/or process water and gas from the tank, ii) a first separation apparatus outside and downstream of the tank for separating at least a part of the microorganisms from the mixture from the tank, wherein the first separation apparatus comprises at least one separation stage, an inlet line connected with at least one of the outflow line(s), at least one discharge line and at least one outlet line, and iii) a return line for returning the separated sludge separated into the reactor tank, wherein the return line connects with at least one of the at least one outlet line of the first separation apparatus.

Systems and methods for treating a wastewater are provided. The wastewater treatment system and methods allows for effective treatment of wastewater during conditions that may cause increased wastewater flow to the system.

The disclosure describes an algal system for improving water quality through the use of algae. In example embodiments, the algal system comprises an elongate device including algae enclosed therein and capable of reducing at least the levels of nitrates and phosphates in water directed through the device. The algae may be capable of also reducing E. coli bacteria, other bacteria, and viruses in the water. Preferably, the algae comprises a filamentous green algae, including without limitation, Spirogyra grevilleana algae. In one example embodiment, the algal system comprises an elongate device and an elongate cartridge that is pre-configured to treat certain chemical compounds, bacteria, and viruses, and certain other characteristics of water. The cartridge is delivered to the site where the water is to be treated and installed in the field, possibly replacing an existing cartridge. After use, algae may be processed into biofuel.

The invention provides a system for treatment of wastewater. A pumping system pumps wastewater from a source basin to a recipient basin, while a conduit allows gravitational flow of water from a source basin to a recipient basin when the pumping system is inactive. A controller activates the pumping system to pump wastewater from the source basin to a recipient basin when a wastewater level in the source basin is at a first predetermined height or when a rate of gravitational flow wastewater from the source basin to the recipient basin is below a first predetermined flow rate. The controller also turns off the pumping system when the water level in the source basin is at a source basin minimal level and the water level in the recipient basin is at a recipient basin maximal level. The invention also provides a method for operating a wastewater treatment of the invention, and a pumping system for use in the system of the invention.
