A small sewage treatment plant comprises a first sewage tank in which a preliminary clarification takes place due to the sinking of solid particles to the bottom of the first sewage tank, and a filtering device in a second sewage tank, which filtering device comprises several filters and to which the pre-clarified sewage is fed from above for further clarification. The filtering device has a rotary plate which is rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation and stores several filter containers, each filter container including several filters arranged above each other. In a lid of the second sewage tank, a closable tank opening is provided, via which at least one filter is removable when the associated filter container is opposite to the tank opening after a corresponding rotation of the rotary plate.

The systems and methods herein are directed a wastewater management system which can be used on a housing unit. The wastewater management system includes a septic tank, pump tank, pressure tank, and pods residing within a drainfield.

The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a method for treating and recycling waste slurry in bobbin paper production. The present invention employs aerobic granular sludge technology-based two-stage process of treating and recycling waste slurry in bobbin paper production, and has features of low agent feeding, small floor space occupation, a short operating cycle, and easy controllability. By treating a high-load waste slurry in an adsorption section having aerobic granular sludge, fibrous materials in the waste slurry can be concentrated efficiently and resource substances can be recycled. By treating water discharged from the adsorption section with aerobic granular sludge in a biochemistry section, a water release can be guaranteed to stably meet the standard. By employing the method, the amounts of the fibrous materials and proteins adsorbed by the aerobic granular sludge in the adsorption section reach 710 mg/g MLSS and 140 mg/g MLSS respectively, the concentrations of COD, NH4-N, TP and SS of water released from the biochemistry section are 98 mg/L, 4.1 mg/L, 0.8 mg/L and 100 mg/L respectively, and the removal rates of COD and SS reach 98.8% and 96.2% respectively, enabling water release to meet a corresponding release standard.

Residuals, such as slag particles, from iron- and/or steel-making, and/or water-leached eluates thereof, are added directly to a conventional or multi-staged anaerobic digester or other sewage sludge or biosolid handling process. The slag particles or other residuals sorb, sequester, immobilize, or otherwise promote the removal of phosphorus and/or sulfur from wastewater, sludge, or biosolids being treated, such that the associated aqueous phase concentrations of phosphorus and sulfur are significantly reduced.

The description describes the integration of a gas fermentation process with a gasification process whereby effluent from the gas fermentation process is recycled to the gasification process. The one or more effluents which can be recycled include a stream comprising microbial biomass, a product stream comprising at least a portion of the at least one fermentation product, a by-product stream comprising fusel oil, and a waste water stream comprising microbial biomass. The stream comprising biomass can be dried before it is passed to the gasification zone. At least a portion of the waste water stream can be passed to the gasification process where one use is to replace at least a portion of the process water. The waste water stream can be further processed to produce a clarified water stream and a biogas stream comprising methane either or both of which can be passed to the gasification process.

Provided is a water treatment system 50 having: a first unit 100 having a dirty water generation source; a second unit 200 designed to purify water, the second unit 200 having at least one of a purification tank, a solid-liquid separation tank, and an oil separation tank, and conducting a primary treatment of contaminated water that is received; and a third unit 300 having a contaminated-water inlet, a primary reception tank, an intermediate treatment tank, a reserve treatment tank, a circulation treatment tank, a concentrated water and impurity tank, and an aseptic drainage tank. Each of the first to third units is equipped with a sensor and a valve. The third unit is furthermore equipped with a control device and at least one of a pump, a sterilization device, a disinfection device, and a sterilizer.

The invention relates to a method for the treatment of wastewater in a biological treatment reactor, comprising the steps of (a) introducing wastewater influent at the bottom part of the reactor while simultaneously decanting treated wastewater effluent at the operational water level in the top part of the reactor, (b) an aeration step and (c) a settling step wherein the biomass is allowed to settle; wherein step (a) is performed under vertical plug flow conditions, wherein during step (a) the equal distribution of the influent wastewater across the distributor pipes and/or the degree of plug-flow in the reactor is monitored, and when a suboptimal distribution or a suboptimal degree of plug-flow is detected the influent distributor system and/or effluent decanter system is cleaned by removing fouling and/or blockage.

The invention also relates to a liquid influent system and to an installation for the use in such method for the treatment of wastewater.

The present invention relates to a method of treating sludge containing phosphorus, ammonia and magnesium and enhancing the dewaterability of the sludge. The sludge is directed into a biological fermenter operated under anaerobic conditions. By controlling the temperature of the sludge in the fermenter or the hydraulic retention time of the sludge in the fermenter, phosphorus, ammonia and magnesium is released from the solids in the sludge into a liquid forming a part of the sludge. Sludge from the fermenter is subjected to a solids-liquid separation process that produces a concentrated sludge and a liquid. The concentrated sludge or separated solids is directed to a thermal hydrolysis reactor that thermally hydrolyzes the concentrated sludge. After thermally hydrolyzing the concentrated sludge, the concentrated sludge is directed to an anaerobic digester that anaerobically digests the concentrated sludge.

A water purification system for an ornamental aquarium is easily assembled as either a canister or a hang-on-back type model with a water tank or aquarium without compromising with an aesthetic appearance and low noise. The filtration element includes filtration blocks connectible in series for function and can be disassembled into a plurality of blocks that are reassembled to form the canister model and the hang-on-back model with a secure positioning feature.
