Partitioned separator water treatment system with upflow filter
A system designed to control and filter runoff water in storm drains is presented. Drain water frequently carries trash, organic matter, suspended solids, hydrocarbons, metals, nutrients and bacteria collected from streets and parking lots into a storm drain inlet, which enters storm water drain pipe systems. The present invention supplies a series of baffle boxes inserted in the drain water stream with a final box possessing an upflow filter comprising filtration media and filter cartridges. The system can also support a storm flow bypass that directs high-flow storm runoff water directly to the outlet to protect the filter system.
Processes for recovering products from a slurry
Improved processes and systems for recovering products from a corn fermentation mash. In some examples, a process recovers an oil product, a protein meal product, and a fiber product from a slurry. A process includes the following steps: introducing the slurry into a device with a flexible screen and mechanical agitation to produce a filtrate and a fibrous solid stream; and introducing the filtrate into a three-phase centrifuge to produce an oil stream, a high protein solids stream, and a water with solubles stream. The flexible screen includes a washing nozzle. The slurry is whole stillage from an ethanol process. The three-phase centrifuge is a three-phase decanter. The filtrate is heated before introducing into the three-phase centrifuge. The filtrate is optionally evaporated before introducing into the three-phase centrifuge.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING MAGNETITE
A method of dewatering magnetite to <10% w/w moisture content, including the step of extracting water from the magnetite by virtue of the magnetism of the magnetite, whereby the magnetite pulls together under magnetic attraction thereby squeezing water outwardly and away from the magnetite.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POTASSIUM SULPHATE BASED FERTILIZERS
The present disclosure relates to a process for the production of potassium sulphate based mineral fertilizers, by means of an exchange reaction between potassium chloride and ammonium sulphate (2KCl+(NH.sub.4).sub.2SO.sub.4<.fwdarw.K.sub.2SO.sub.4+2NH.sub.4Cl) in controlled conditions. The process, subject of the invention, makes it possible to obtain, in a single reaction stage, a crystalline product classifiable as low-chlorine-content mineral fertilizer, containing potassium sulphate, with K.sub.2O in an amount of between 40% and 50% by dry weight, ammoniacal nitrogen in an amount of less than 5% by dry weight and chlorine in an amount of less than 3% by dry weight, with a high potassium-conversion efficiency (calculated as the ratio between what the amount found in the solid main product and the amount introduced as KCl to the reaction with ammonium sulphate) and a by-product, which can be used directly as NK fertilizer (containing nitrogen (N) and potassium oxide (K.sub.2O) both in an amount comprised between 15% and 20% by dry weight) or as raw material for the production of complex fertilizers.
