Embodiments of the present disclosure describe aquaculture filtration systems comprising a tidal basin, first bead filter unit, second bead filter unit, and optionally an inoculation tank. The tidal basin and first bead filter unit can be in fluid communication. The first bead filter unit can be in fluid communication with the second bead filter unit and optionally the tidal basin via a bypass line. The second bead filter unit can be in fluid communication with the tidal basin and optionally an inoculation tank via an inoculation loop. The aquaculture filtration systems can optionally further comprise pumps for circulating fluids, such as circulation pumps and inoculation pumps, and valves for controlling or directing fluid flow. Embodiments also describe related methods, systems, apparatuses, and the like.

System (1) for the biological treatment of wastewater comprising a tank (10) comprising a point for the entry (11) of water to be treated and a point for the exit (12) of treated water; a rotating drum (20) defining an internal volume, said drum being capable of rotating about a horizontal shaft (200) and having a wall (21) that is at least partly permeable to water, said rotating drum being disposed the tank and being intended for partial submersion in the water contained in the tank, less than half of its internal volume bathing in the water contained in the tank; a driving means (30, 31, 32) intended for driving the drum in rotation along the horizontal shaft; free media (15), having a surface suited to the development of a biofilm, disposed within the drum (20) and retained by the wall of this drum, the free media occupying a volume ranging from 30% to 80% of the internal volume of the rotating drum; at least one hollow tube (40) extending in parallel to the horizontal shaft fixed to the wall of the rotating drum within the drum, the hollow tube having a perforated longitudinal section comprising a set of orifices distributed homogeneously throughout the length of the hollow tube, the hollow tube being designed to get filled alternately with water and with air when the rotating drum, partially submerged in the water contained in the tank, is put into rotation in a given sense.

An object is to provide a degrading bacteria-immobilized carrier on which a 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacterium is supported, as well as a biodegradation treatment method for organic compounds, and a biodegradation treatment apparatus, both using this carrier. As a means for achieving the object, a degrading bacteria-immobilized carrier comprising a porous carrier and a 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacterium supported on the porous carrier, as well as a biodegradation treatment method for organic compounds, and a biodegradation treatment apparatus, both using this carrier, are provided.

A recycled water treatment system is equipped with different bio-treatment devices to decompose nitrogen-containing inorganic compounds and nitrogen-containing organic compounds in order to enhance efficiency of treating nitrogen-containing organic compounds, wherein an organism-carrying fixed-bed unit is used to efficiently decompose nitrogen-containing organic compounds.

Provided are a water quality purification device, and a water purifier and an aquarium that use the water quality purification device. The water quality purification device includes a component filled with a micro-electrolysis catalyst and a biological filtration component that are connected in series. By utilizing a micro-electrolysis technology, pollutants in water are preprocessed and the biodegradability of the water is improved. A water body processed by the micro-electrolysis catalyst enters the biological filtration component, which can greatly improve the purification efficiency of the biological filter bed. Working together with an adsorption electrode, this structure can effectively stabilize the water quality in the aquarium and greatly reduce the required times of changing water.

An aerator assembly for wastewater treatment includes a draft tube and an air supply assembly. The draft tube includes a sidewall and presents open top and bottom tube ends. The air supply assembly includes an air supply conduit and a diffuser body. The diffuser body has an inlet aperture and a bubble generator connected to the inlet. The inlet aperture is connected to the air supply conduit such that the bubble generator receives air from a source of air, to which the air supply conduit is connected. The bubble generator has a plurality of air openings for generating fine air bubbles. The diffuser body is sealingly engaged to the sidewall adjacent the bottom tube end so as restrict upward flow of wastewater through the draft tube past the diffuser body.

A material for reducing the content of polluting and/or unwanted substances in a liquid includes at least one polymeric and/or inorganic base, suitable to be immersed in the liquid, having at least a surface, whereto is bonded at least one catalyst of the degradation reaction of inorganic salts in gaseous substances. The catalyst, whose function is to reduce the energy required for the activation of said reaction and to accelerate its progress, is an enzyme preferably selected among the lyase group, the hydrolase group and the oxidoreductase group.

A urban waste water treatment plant, comprising: a tank subdivided in at least two distinct portions, said at least two distinct portions comprising at least an accumulation area of the sludge and at least an accumulation area of the liquid phase; at least a feeding pipe of the waste water to be treated; at least a recirculation pipe of the liquid phase; at least a discharge pipe of the effluent treated, withdrawn from at least one area of the liquid phase, characterized in that said feeding pipe of the waste water to be treated is configured so that the waste water is inlet on the bottom of said at least one sludge area and in discontinuous mode; inside said at least one sludge area it is provided porous material, contained between two containment planes, configured to allow the filtration of the waste water with removal of the suspended material.

An apparatus and a method for removing nitrogen and phosphorus from sewage by using sponge iron and activated sludge are disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a raw tank, a pH adjusting tank, a primary SBR reactor, a secondary SBR reactor, an intermediate tank, and a discharge tank; by modification of sponge iron, preparation of composite filler, sludge inoculation and domestication, and sewage treatment, an effect of simultaneous denitrification and dephosphorization is achieved in one reactor using the combined action of sponge iron and activated sludge with high nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency.

A liquid treatment system is provided having a vault that contains a treatment chamber and an outflow chamber. The treatment chamber may have a filtration media layer containing media that treats liquid as it descends through the filtration media layer, where it will accumulate in a porous layer or open space. The liquid will then be directed through the plurality of pipes to the outflow chamber, where the treated liquid is further directed to outside the system. Accumulated debris settled at the bottom of the treatment chamber may be flushed out by a spray bar.
