A method for treating wastewater is disclosed. The method is useful in particular for treating wastewater that is generated from the process of drilling, hydraulic fracturing and/or cleaning a bore of an oil or natural gas well bore. The method may include performing cold lime softening of the wastewater to form waste salt flocs, filtration of waste salt flocs, ozonation of the filtrate from the filtration, and reverse osmosis of the filtrate to produce a purified permeate.

A robot swimming pool cleaner includes a housing provided with a first chamber and a second chamber. A filtering structure is arranged between the first chamber and the second chamber, the water outlet is provided with a water pumping device, one side of the second water inlet is rotatably equipped with a first movable door with a first elastic member, the first elastic member is used to maintain a trend of the first movable door closing the second water inlet, and the housing is further internally provided with a sensing device that may detect the rotation angle or applied torque of the first movable door. The present application solves a problem of existing swimming pool robots operating ineffectively for a long time while a water flow is severely blocked.

The present invention discloses an advanced oxidation process of degrading nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in sewage by UV persulfate. The sewage flows to a secondary sedimentation tank by gravity, and sediments are precipitated and separated. Na.sub.2S.sub.2O.sub.8 solution is added therein, and a UV lamp is opened. Effluent result is analyzed after photooxidation. The sewage is transferred into a contact disinfection pool to react with ClO.sub.2 before discharging safely. The present invention uses a UV-based advanced oxidation process, which can effectively remove, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in sewage, meets the requirements of sewage discharging, and decreases the environmental risk of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The method has some advantages such as simple equipments, easy operation, reasonable economy, as well as efficient treatment effect and high stability.

Methods and systems for an integrated acid regeneration of ion exchange resins are disclosed for use in cleaning applications. Acid resins designed for use in a variety of cleaning application using a treated, softened, acidic water source are disclosed. Various methods of using the softened acidic water generated by acid regenerate-able ion exchange resins within a cleaning application, e.g. ware wash machine, are disclosed to beneficially reduce spotting, filming and scale buildup on treated surfaces, reduce and/or eliminate the need for polymers, threshold reagents and/or rinse aids, and using protons generated in the acidic water effluent for triggering events useful in various cleaning applications.

A water treatment product and a method of water treatment are disclosed. The water treatment product comprises a layer and a water treating agent. The layer comprises a substance sensitive to a parameter directly or indirectly indicative of water quality of a body of water to which the layer is exposed. The layer deteriorates when the parameter indicative of water quality is poor. The water treating agent is thereby exposed to the body of water when the layer deteriorates, thereby improving the water quality.

An aeration control system and method for wastewater are provided. The aeration system, which is connected to an aeration device in an aeration basin, includes a plurality of water quality detectors, at least one pollutant estimate model, and a processing unit. The plurality of water quality detectors are configured to acquire a plurality of water quality data. The plurality of water quality data includes a pre-aeration water quality data and a post-aeration water quality data. The pollutant estimate model is configured to generate a pollutant data according to the pre-aeration water quality data. The processing unit is configured to generate an aeration quantity according to the pollutant data, the post-aeration water quality, and an effluent water quality setting, and transmitting the aeration quantity to the aeration device.

A monitored release solid feed system having a solid chemical feed tank, a storage tank located below the solid chemical feed tank, and an automated valve. The solid chemical feed tank is loaded with a blend of inhibitors and an indicator-chemical in a solid form. A detector measures the amount of indicator in the recirculating water and periodically compares it to a setpoint. If the value is below the setpoint, the automated valve opens allowing water to pass through the storage tank and the solid chemical feed tank thus carrying inhibitors and a proportional amount of indicator-chemical into the recirculating system.
