In some embodiments a filter assembly disposed within the main chamber and below the insert member includes a treatment chamber in fluid communication with the main inlet and is adapted for filtering water that flows through the filter assembly.

A system and process for decontaminating a bio-contaminated wastewater fluid as from a slaughterhouse or similar facility. The system and process recovers purified vapor/steam through a decontamination unit having a plurality of alternating rotating trays and fixed baffles in a processing vessel producing separate purified and contaminant streams. One or more filter/strainer units are disposed in parallel before the decontamination unit, and may be used alternately while the other is cleaned. A rotating shaft connected to the rotating trays may also connected to an electrical generator to provide electricity for circuits and controls in the system.

An ecological flow determination method for considering a lifting amount a belongs to a technical field of environmental engineering and includes the following steps: collecting, by a collecting device, data needed to calculate an ecological flow; determining, by a calculating device, an ecological base flow; selecting an upper limit and a lower limit of the ecological base flow so as to determine a range of the ecological base flow; verifying the lower limit of the ecological base flow; calculating water demands of landscape wetland, sediment discharge and dilution self purification of three service objects; comparing the water demands of the three service objects so as to determine the lifting amount, and finding out a minimum value and a maximum value to determine a lower limit and an upper limit of the lifting amount in the range; combining the ecological base flow and the lifting amount to determine the ecological flow.

A method for integrated treatment of electroplating wastewater includes steps of: adjusting and maintaining pH of wastewater at 10.5-12; oxidizing pollutants such as sodium cyanide and hydroxyl-containing organic amine complexants with sodium hypochlorite; precipitating carboxyl-containing organic acid complexants with synergistic effect of ferrous and calcium ions; reducing hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium and forming chromium hydroxide precipitate; removing precipitate by filtering; adjusting wastewater to pH of 4.5-5.5; precipitating heavy metal ions with sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate or sodium diethyldithiocarbamate; adsorbing precipitate and heavy metal capturing agents with activated carbon; filtering to remove precipitate; adjusting wastewater to pH of 6-8; and destroying aliphatic polyamine complexants and reducing COD using an available biological degradation technique. This method can effectively and economically remove the pollutants such as heavy metals in the electroplating wastewater for a good market prospective.

A stormwater treatment system and method for removing sediment, chemical pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff by utilizing bioretention practices including physical, chemical and biological processes. Stormwater is directed into a primarily open-bottomed, multi-dimensional container whereby entrained sediment and other transportable materials are filtered and treated through a media filter layer consisting of inorganic and/or organic materials. A live plant (preferably a tree) situated within the container with roots resident in the media filter layer with the ability for expansion beyond the perimeter of the container through openings in one or more sidewalls. The treated water may be further conveyed beyond the perimeter of the container by additional openings and/or piping. A vertically positioned overflow/bypass/clean out piping apparatus may be included within the stormwater treatment system to provide additional water conveyance. Additional ancillary conveyance, filtration and storage facilities may be connected to the described stormwater treatment system as conditions warrant.

A saturated layer stormwater filtering system with down-flow layered multimedia filters is disclosed. The filtering system may include an upflow pretreatment chamber and a subsequent filtration chamber. It also includes a snorkel pipe as an adjustable head control or internal baffles. The system incorporates gravity powered partially saturated stormwater media filters to harness the potential energy of stormwater from downspouts and pumped flows from stormwater catchments to drive the polluted stormwater in a hydraulically controlled fashion by gravity through a series of filter media layers.

The present disclosure relates to a separation device to separate contaminants from contaminated water. It comprises a container to receive the contaminated water. The container further comprises a contaminated water inlet, a filter, a presser for compressing and/or dewatering contaminants separated from the contaminated water, and a contaminant outlet. The container further comprises a gas inlet for generating gas bubbles into the contaminated water to further separate contaminants from the contaminated water. The present disclosure relates to a use of such a separation device and a method of separating contaminants from contaminated water.

An atmospheric water generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor is for harvesting water from the atmosphere. The purpose of atmospheric water generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor is to provide potable water. The atmospheric generator utilizing centrifugal hydraulic air compressor includes a housing having a reservoir, a plurality of centrifugal discs, drive components, water pump, heat exchangers, and air filters. The housing reservoir further includes an indication device to determine the water level in device. The centrifugal discs can utilize centripetal forces to hydraulically compress the air, with water, to harvest the water from the atmosphere. The drive components further comprise a hollow shaft to direct the water to the centrifugal discs. In addition, the shape of the centrifugal disc utilizes the compressed air and water exiting the discs to help rotate the discs.

In a process for treating wastewater from a combined gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process, feedstock derived from Municipal Solid Waste or the like is gasified in a reactor (R) and treated in a cleanup unit (C) which generates a first wastewater stream (1st WWT STREAM) containing salts and inorganic pollutants. The first wastewater stream is treated in a treatment unit (T1) to remove inorganic pollutants derived from the syngas. The treatment comprises a) degassing, and subsequently b) neutralising the first wastewater stream before treatment in a Dissolved Air Flotation unit (72c) and filtering in a moving sand bed or similar (72d) to remove solids, and a stripping process to remove ammonia. A second wastewater stream (2.sup.nd WWT Stream) containing organic pollutants but being low in salts arises from the F-T process and is treated separately to allow recycling within the F-T process.
