A method of producing a final product from a wastewater dissolved air flotation (DAF) sludge which includes the following dewatering step: 5dewatering of the sludge, an aged sludge or a pre-processed sludge to produce a sludge filter cake and a filtrate; such that the pre-processed is sludge, or aged sludge, that has undergone additional processing steps prior to dewatering and aged sludge is sludge that has been stored for a period of time, wherein the dewatering step is a mechanical dewatering step 10 carried out at a maximum of 30 C. which results in a sludge filter cake that does not flow under its own mass.

The invention relates to a method and a device for continuously or semi-continuously treating/dehydrating organic sludge (1, 41, 69}, wherein a three-phase emulsion of air, solid matter and water is produced by injecting air (6, 47, 68) into the sludge, introducing a flocculant (13, 50, F) into said emulsion in order to create a floc (14, 51) and then degassing said floc at atmospheric pressure. The floc is degassed by soft impact of the floc on itself or on an energy absorbing shutter (39, C), braking the floc, and the floc matured in this way is recovered in a filtration and/or decanting device (56, 74).

A method and system to recycle water for hydro-excavation includes a vacuum hose to remove a slurry of solids and liquid from hydro-excavation at a site. A debris tank is in fluid communication with the vacuum hose and is used to collect the slurry. The system also includes a filter drum, where a portion of the filter drum is configured to rotate through the slurry to filter the liquids from the solids, where dewatered solids are returned to the site for compaction. In addition, an outlet is in fluid communication with a central portion of the filter drum to return filtered water for use in hydro-excavation at the site.

The current process relates to the treatment of a primary sludge that is produced from waste water treatment facilities such as a pulp mill or a pulp and paper mills. It further relates to a process of using the primary sludge in the production of cellulosic ethanol. It further relates to the use of the treated primary sludge in the manufacture of recycled linerboard.

There is provided a filtration system comprising a reaction and separation apparatus (2) for processing a solid-liquid mixture (4) to separate solids from liquid, the reaction and separation apparatus (2) comprising: a tank (6) comprising an inlet (8) and an outlet (10), the inlet (8) configured for receiving the solid-liquid mixture (4) into the tank (6), the outlet (10) configured for permitting liquid to exit the tank (6); and a sedimentation device (16) including a liquid conduit (18), the liquid conduit (18) having a first end (20) and a second end (22), the first end (20) configured to be in liquid communication with the outlet (10), the second end (22) configured for dispensing liquid from the liquid conduit (18), wherein the second end (22) is positioned higher than the first end (20) so that the liquid conduit (18) extends from the first end (20) to the second end (22) along a vertical axis or along an inclined axis relative to the horizontal, wherein the filtration system further comprises a preparatory filter (642) configured to, in use, receive an inflow liquid (644) from an external source and separate the inflow liquid (644) into the solid-liquid mixture (4) and a filtered liquid (646), wherein the preparatory filter (642) is configured to dispense the solid-liquid mixture (4) into the tank (6) via the inlet (8).

The invention is a flow-through flow-through filter that can separate raw water and/or sewage to filtered stream, fine particle stream and grit stream in one hydraulic device. For raw lake and/or canal water intake application, the flow-through filter is placed inside a chamber box that is mounted on a water intake rack structure or diversion canal. The invention filters debris and organisms to prevent biomes formation in pumps and waterlines that delivers raw water to a water treatment plant. The flow-through filter withdraws flows from a raw water body without taking defined sediment, floating debris and target aquatic biomes and eliminates the need of discharging remnants to a sewage system.

For wastewater treatment, the flow-through filter is installed over a wet well after the headwork rack and may replace the grit removal, primary clarifier, and the fine screening. The flow-through filter requires a much smaller footprint of the area and/or enclosed building that requires smaller odor control. There is a substantial cost saving of using one device and replaces grit removal, primary basin, and fine screening.
