A method and apparatus are provided for removing EPA regulated chemical species from industrial wastewater using green rust. The apparatus includes a green rust generator having an iron anode and a carbon cathode.

Provided are: a water treatment method that includes at least a denitrification step for denitrifying water to be treated with a denitrifying bacterium in the presence of a hydrogen donor, wherein the denitrification activity of the denitrifying bacterium can be maintained at a high level and thus the treatment speed can be increased; and a water treatment apparatus. The water treatment method includes at least a denitrification step for passing water to be treated through a biological treatment tank and denitrifying the same with a heterotrophic denitrifying bacterium in the presence of a hydrogen donor, wherein: molybdenum is added to the water to be treated to give a concentration of 0.01-1.0 mgMo/gN; a carrier is added to the biological treatment tank; and the nitrogen load to the carrier is controlled to 1.6 kgN/(m.sup.3-carrier.Math.d) or greater.

A high volume organic solvent polymer dispersion that is prepared by dispersing a hydrolysable polymer in a non-volatile water-soluble organic solvent, has a water content of not more than 1 mass %, and has a falling time at 50° C. of not more than 120 seconds which is measured by a Zahn cup with an orifice diameter of not more than 5 mm. Also disclosed is a method of using the high volume organic solvent polymer dispersion, which includes feeding the high volume organic solvent polymer dispersion into the ground.

The disclosure relates to a water treatment system which may include at least one reverse osmosis cartridge, at least one filtration cartridge, at least one pump and an enclosure.

A biological reactor system treats concentrated contaminated water with a combination of upflow and downflow bioreactors that are downstream from a reverse osmosis or other concentrator. The system may have a fail safe configuration where flush water may be introduced to the reactors in the event of a power failure or when taking the reactors offline. Many reverse osmosis systems introduce antiscalant treatments upstream so that the reverse osmosis filters do not scale. However, such treatments result in superconcentrated conditions of the antiscalants in the contaminated water processed by the bioreactors. A flushing system may deconcentrate the bioreactors to prevent the antiscalants from precipitating and fouling the bioreactors.

A method of treating a liquid by creating nanobubbles of a desired gas within a target liquid and allowing the desired gas to react with a target component of the target liquid. The desired gas can be selected to be reactive with the target component, and a desired liquid can be formed after the desired gas reacts with the target component.

An activated sludge process for the treatment of municipal wastewater, particularly applicable to oxidation ditch activated sludge treatment systems which utilize a conventional race track or continuous loop reactor basin configuration. The process removes phosphorus and nitrogen from an activated sludge wastewater treatment system, with an anoxic cycle followed by an aerobic cycle, and followed by a surface wasting cycle until a low flow diurnal period is reached in a diurnal or twenty-four hour period. Automated microprocessor control system using “oxidation-reduction potential” (ORP) and “dissolved oxygen” (DO) as process variable inputs automate aerated and anoxic cycles to optimize phosphorus and nitrogen removal using the available carbon in the influent wastewater resulting in an energy efficient dynamic dissolved oxygen control during the aerated periods.

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.

The present invention discloses a plasma denitrification device, which comprises a plasma generating device and a denitrification reservoir. The plasma generating device comprises a plasma generator and a pulsed power supply. The plasma generator comprises at least one set of an electrode to generate plasma. An inlet of the plasma generator is configured to allow sewage passage. The denitrification reservoir comprises a shell and a denitrification zone, a water purification zone, and a sludge collecting zone provided inside the shell. The present invention effectively reduces total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in the polluted water body and helps to reduce COD, BOD, total phosphorus and chroma of the water body. The dissolved oxygen level of the water body is also increased after the purification process.

A method of purifying nutrient contaminated water for safe reuse or discharge, while recovering the fertilizer value of the contaminants. The system includes digestion tanks for the conversion by appropriate fauna and aerobic bacteria of dissolved or suspended organic contaminants into dissolved inorganic contaminants, which are flow connection with biofiltration tanks for the removal by plant root uptake of the dissolved inorganic contaminants. Generally, the digestion and biofiltration tanks are configured wherein contaminated water is conducted between one or more digestion tanks containing detritivorous or omnivorous fauna which feed on suspended contaminants and pathogens and aerobic bacteria which feed on the excreta of the fauna which will solubilize and decompose organic contaminants, oxidize nitrogen compounds into nitrates and competes with pathogens, and one or more biofiltration tanks containing pants potted in the water which uptakes dissolved inorganic contaminants.
