The invention discloses an automatic sewage treatment system and a preparation method of biological carrier, comprising an automatic sewage treatment device and a biological carrier, wherein the automatic sewage treatment device comprises a housing; one side of the housing is provided with a sewage inlet, and the other side thereof is provided with a sewage outlet; the sewage inlet is installed on one side of a No. 1 biochemical pool; one side of the No. 1 biochemical pool is connected to a No. 2 biochemical pool through a connecting pipe; the other side of the No. 2 biochemical pool is connected to a No. 3 biochemical pool through the connecting pipe. The preparation method of biological carrier includes material selection, preservation, physical treatment, and cultivation.

A method for enhancing biochemical water treatment by a powder carrier includes: (i) screening the powder carrier by removing impurities to obtain a screened powder carrier; (ii) dissolving the screened powder carrier by stirring to prepare a slurry, enabling the screened powder carrier to completely absorb moisture to obtain a soaked powder carrier slurry; (iii) adjusting the pH value and adding the soaked powder carrier slurry into a bioreactor or a biological reaction structure; (iv) distributing the soaked powder carrier slurry uniformly through a hydraulic agitation; (v) loading a microorganism on the inner pore and wrapping on the surface of the soaked powder carrier slurry to obtain powder-loaded biological floccules; (vi) settling the powder-loaded biological floccules in a sedimentation zone and separating the powder carrier from the microorganism for reuse.

The present inventors have developed systems and processes for reducing the overall carbon consumption needed for the generation of low COD treated water. In certain aspects, the systems and processes described herein include an oxidation stage (e.g., one that utilizes ozone, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet, or a combination thereof for oxidation) between a first activated carbon stage and a second activated carbon stage to reduce a total carbon consumption within the associated system or process.

Wastewater containing organic matter may be treated using a multi-zone apparatus. In a first zone, organic matter in the wastewater may, among other things, be converted to at least volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and, thereafter, a portion of the treated wastewater may flow to a second zone that may, among other things, convert the VFAs to methane.

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.

A methanisation unit includes a culture substrate to be used in a method for methanising liquid effluents with structured packing, the culture substrate being made up of more than 50% of wood elements, of which at least one dimension is greater than 80 mm, the porosity of the culture substrate being greater than 50%. Embodiments relate to a method for preparing a culture substrate intended to be used in a methanisation unit according to the invention, and a methanisation method in a methanisation unit.

TA method for treating an aqueous solution containing ammonium perchlorate and optionally nitrate ions, the method having a nitrification/denitrification sequence then a step of reducing perchlorates, the liquid effluent obtained at the end of this step of reducing perchlorates being subjected to a first membrane filtration, the liquid effluent obtained following this first membrane filtration being put into contact, in a reactor in aerobic conditions, with microorganisms able to carry out the oxidation of organic materials, then the liquid effluent leaving this reactor being subjected to a second membrane filtration, the first membrane filtration and the second membrane filtration being carried out on the same membrane filtration unit.

Bioreactors and associated methods are provided herein including bioreactors capable of treating water contaminated with 1,4-dioxane. In certain embodiments, a bioreactor is disclosed and may include an adsorbent layer with a biofilm capable of metabolizing 1,4-dioxane and a screen disposed downstream of the adsorbent layer configured to retain detached biofilm.

The present invention relates to a composite treatment and recovery technique of polluted water body and soil. Iron-rich straw biomass, after being crushed, is mixed and granulated with sludge, and is pyrolytic charred by programmed heating, to obtain bulk loaded zero-valent iron biochar and sludge biochar composite particles, which are packed as fillers in a filled bed or as filters in filter cells of a fixed bed, for effective recovery of complex polluted water, polluted by heavy metals, organics, nitrogen, phosphorus, and the like.

Disclosed are floating micro-aeration unit (FMU) devices, systems and methods for biological sulfide removal from water/wastewater bodies and streams. In some aspects, a system includes a manifold structure including one or more opening to flow air out of an interior of the manifold structure; one or more support structures connected to the manifold structure, in which the one or more support structures are floatable on a surface of a fluid that includes water or a wastewater; and an air source that flows air to the manifold structure, such that the manifold structure supplies the air containing a predetermined amount of oxygen (e.g., less than 0.1 mg/L of oxygen) to oxidize sulfide of the fluid.
