A method for biologically treating nitrogen while minimizing energy and carbon source usage uses an aerobic tank, a first anoxic tank, and a second anoxic tank. The method includes introducing feed water by dividedly introducing the feed water to the aerobic tank and the first anoxic tank; converting ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen in the aerobic tank; converting the nitrate nitrogen into nitrite nitrogen through partial denitrification in the first anoxic tank using organic material contained in the feed water; and converting the nitrite nitrogen and ammonia into nitrogen gas in the second anoxic tank using an anammox microorganism. The ammonia nitrogen is converted by determining aeration intensity, aeration time, and/or aeration amount depending on an ammonia concentration in the aerobic tank. The nitrate nitrogen is converted by determining a reaction time of the first anoxic tank based on nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the first anoxic tank.

A biological filtration system for the neutralization of urine and other pool biologicals within a water filtration system of a pool or spa, providing for the neutralization of urine, bacteria, viruses and other biologicals, using a UVC lamp, a urease reaction chamber, a nitrifying bacteria reaction chamber and a nitrate filter prior to return to the water inlet supply line of the pool or spa.

Described herein are attached growth reactor systems which increase nitrifying bacteria biomass through a variety of means during warm weather. As a consequence, the attached growth reactor system contains sufficient nitrifying bacteria biomass to remove ammonia from wastewater in cold to moderate climates. In one example, there are two attached growth reactors into which wastewater is distributed discontinuously. Specifically, wastewater is transferred to the first attached growth reactor for a first period of time and then is transferred to the second attached growth reactor for a second period of time during warm weather which effectively doubles the nitrifying bacteria biomass in the system. During cold weather, approximately half of the wastewater is applied to each reactor simultaneously.

The present invention relates to a sewage treatment system using granules, and more particularly, the sewage treatment system includes: an anoxic tank which has a sewage inlet port into which sewage is introduced; an anaerobic tank which is connected to the anoxic tank; intermittent aeration tanks which are connected to the anaerobic tank, have two or more separately divided spaces, and have, in the spaces, granules and aeration devices that alternately operate; and a settling tank which is connected to the intermittent aeration tanks, and the sewage treatment system is operated by a method including: a first step of introducing sewage; a second step of allowing the introduced sewage to pass through the anoxic tank and to be supplied with carbon; a third step of allowing the sewage passing through the anoxic tank to be introduced into the anaerobic tank; a fourth step of allowing the sewage passing through the anaerobic tank to be introduced into a first intermittent aeration tank and a second intermittent aeration tank which include the aeration devices and the granules including nitrogen treatment microorganisms; a fifth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in an aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in a non-aeration state; and a sixth step of allowing the first intermittent aeration tank to be in the non-aeration state and the second intermittent aeration tank to be in the aeration state.

A method and device for in-situ enriching Anammox bacteria by conventional activated sludge, which belongs to a biological wastewater treatment technology. The device comprises a raw water tank, an anammox reactor and a water outlet tank. The method comprises the following steps: (1) taking traditional activated sludge from a municipal wastewater plant as inoculation sludge without special requirements on form of reactor and water quality of inflow; the mainstream anammox in-situ enrichment being realized mainly in three stages; (2) carbon and phosphorus removal stage, wherein carbon and phosphorus removal sludge is domesticated through joint control of aerobiotic time and sludge retention time; (3) partial nitrification stage, wherein the stage is realized through gradually extending the aerobiotic time; (4) anammox bacteria in-situ enrichment stage, wherein good culture retention conditions are provided through the artificial regulation strategies: (5) the method of the present invention only needs to construct or utilize the existing traditional activated sludge wastewater biological treatment devices and equipment without adding agents, which is conducive to the application of practical engineering.

A septic tank system includes a multiple compartmented (or chambered) supplemental tank. The supplemental tank has a cover/lid with a plurality of strategically situated access holes (both small and large ports) for servicing the various chambers from above ground.

Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for the improved use of waste heat recovery systems which utilize the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to generate mechanical and/or electric power from heat sources generating power from byproducts of water purification process(es). Waste heat energy obtained from heat source(s) is provided to one or more ORC system(s) which may be operatively coupled to electric generator(s). A heat coupling subsystem provides the requisite condensation of ORC working fluid by transferring heat from ORC working fluid to one or more other process(es) or system(s), such as anaerobic digester tank(s), to provide heat energy that enhances the production of fuel for the prime mover(s) without requiring the consumption of additional energy for that purpose.
