A wastewater treatment device has: an ozone generator which supplies ozone; a mixer which mixes ozone supplied from the ozone generator with wastewater and supplies ozone mixed wastewater; an ozone oxidation unit which progresses ozone oxidation in the ozone mixed wastewater while passing the ozone mixed wastewater therethrough and discharges wastewater in which the ozone has been consumed; a biological treatment unit which performs biological treatment on the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit using microorganisms; and an adjusting device which adjusts the amount of ozone to be mixed with the wastewater by the mixer so that ozone in an amount that inhibits the microorganisms of the biological treatment unit does not remain in the wastewater discharged from the ozone oxidation unit.

An aquarium filter assembly includes a transfer tube to convey aquarium liquid and a pre-filter member secured to an end of the transfer tube. The pre-filter member may include a rigid porous media basket, or it may include a micron filter of pleated media.

Embodiments of the invention describe a headworks and dewatering component coupled to an inlet and disposed above a base of the basin, the headworks and dewatering component to include a filtration element to define a flow restriction for solid materials, dewater the solid materials from the wastewater influent, and pass a remainder of the wastewater influent (e.g., to another compartment of a host WWTP container). In one embodiment, the headworks and dewatering component comprises a box shape (i.e., orthogonal polyhedral). In other embodiments, said component may comprise a circular or free-form shape. In one embodiment, the filtration element defines a flow restriction for solid materials based, at least in part, on dimensions of the solid materials. Said filtration element may comprise fabric netting, or metal mesh netting.

A system and method for reducing moisture, hazardous gases, and/or odors within a wastewater facility using a rotating biological contactor (RBC). The system and method encloses the rotating biological contactor using a series of upright frame supports and crossbars and a modular cover. An exhaust pipe and blower create a negative pressure within the enclosure to reduce moisture, hazardous gases, and/or odors within a wastewater facility.

Embodiments described methods, systems and apparatuses to utilize a plurality of membrane cartridges and a housing frame comprising a lightweight corrosion resistant material (e.g., non-corrosive metals, non-corrosive composites such as PVC, HDPE and FRP). The anti-corrosive properties of said frame allow of it to be re-used (e.g., with replaced MBR filters). Said MBR frame may be used in a single function or multi-function wastewater treatment container. Said container may also include a corrosion resistant liner coupled to interior portions of each of the base and side walls of the basin, an inlet to receive wastewater treatment influent into the basin, and an outlet to output wastewater treatment process material from the basin.

The present invention relates to a shaft/frame system for high capacity rotors for wastewater treatment for sanitation purposes and to reduce the pollutant organic load; of the type formed by a drive shaft with supports at the ends and for its coupling to a drive motor, comprising a plurality of intermediate annular collars and two end annular collars distributed equidistantly from one another, adapted to fixedly receive a plurality of radially distributed structural arms, characterized in that said structural arms are substantially T-shaped and are joined each other to form rings adapted to receive and fix each other, packs of media consisting of a plurality of biomass support sheets, which are self-supported by four tubes fixed in T-shaped structural elements; wherein said tubes are hollow, and internally accommodate a volume of air and are obturated at both ends by means of plugs, with one or more threaded blind bore(s) adapted to receive the fixation means, with which it is fixed to the T-shaped structural elements, which exert a buoyancy force when turning the rotor by effect of the contained air. In addition to have elements that helps to the resistant bonding with reduced stresses in the T-shaped structure.

A multi-functional slurry processing system (VARCOR) and associated methods is disclosed. The present examples provide a multi-functional slurry processing system incorporating systems and methods for separating liquid and solid components in slurries. In particular the systems and methods described herein produce clean water, dried solids, and potential concentration of desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water. At least one example of the multi-functional slurry processing system provides a self-contained processing facility configured to efficiently convert high water-content slurries into its constituent solid and liquid fractions and subsequently generating and collecting clean water and concentrating desirable constituents with a boiling point lower than water. The multi-functional slurry processing system advantageously applies thermodynamic principles in a system which may include various combinations of a preheater, a degassing unit, a dryer, a steam filter, a compressor, a concentrating tower, and a condensation unit.

Embodiments describe apparatuses, systems and methods for utilizing a configurable WWTP container having a removable sensor/controller cartridge. Said removable cartridge is configured for collecting and analyzing data for any given configuration of a WWTP container, and is positioned securely separate from the treatment compartment(s) of the WWTP container. The removable cartridge is able to monitor operation conditions of the wastewater treatment compartment(s) via control logic and at least one sensor included in the removable cartridge, and change operating parameters of the container.
