This invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) 10-20 wt % acidifying bacteria, (b) 30-40 wt % of an oxidising agent, (c) 5-15 wt % of an organic acid, and (d) 1-10 wt % of a chelating agent. The invention also relates to a method of removing uric acid from a waste pipe comprising the step of inserting the composition into the waste pipe.

A process for batch processing by-product water to obtain a batch of beneficial use water for application to an targeted area of soil with determined moisture and chemical characteristic to change that soil characteristic to a desired soil characteristic includes the steps of measuring the moisture and chemical composition of the targeted area of soil; determining a desired soil characteristic that will grow selected vegetation; defining a chemical composition of a batch water to be applied to the soil to obtain the desired composition; processing a batch of by-product water in accordance with the defined composition; applying the batch of processed water to the targeted area of soil; measuring the moisture and chemical composition of the soil after application; repeating the process until desired composition is achieved or the vegetation growth is completed.

A method and system for the nitrification and denitrification of septic effluent, e.g. from a domestic septic tank, is disclosed comprising a variable speed pump system for constant continuous flow and a recycle mechanism to increase efficacy in producing a final denitrified effluent suitable for discharge to ground or surface waters.

A wetland system has a wetland structure and a wastewater treatment device. The wetland structure has several planting areas surrounded by hoardings, several planting frames arranged in the hoardings, growing substrates provided in the planting frames, and wetland plants growing on the growing substrates. The wastewater treatment device has a bar screen, a regulating tank, a hydrolysis acidification tank, a contact oxidation tank, an MBR membrane tank, and a clean water tank that are in communication with each other in sequence of waterflow and arranged underground. The bar screen is provided with several bars therein, a lift pump is connected between the regulating tank and the hydrolysis acidification tank, a drainage pump is provided between the MBR membrane tank and the clean water tan. The planting area is connected to the bar screen via pipelines, and the clean water tank is connected to the planting area via pipelines.

A spout nozzle for a scum removal device provided in water where scum floats: a tip-end-side nozzle part of a nozzle body is formed in a flat cylindrical shape; a valve body closing a discharging opening by its own weight when pressure water is not supplied is provided in the tip-end-side nozzle part; a closing part closing an opening above the discharging opening when the discharging opening is closed is provided on the valve body; therefore, resistance is small even if it is arranged in water and moreover an interior is hardly stained by scum and the like contained in water.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of energy saving and consumption reduction, and in particular, to a gas-liquid recycling device. A gas-liquid recycling device and a method of using same provided by the disclosure includes a gas-collection hood, a gas delivery pipe and a liquid delivery pipe. A gas inlet port of the gas delivery pipe is connected to the gas collection hood, a gas outlet port of the gas delivery pipe is inserted into a liquid outlet port of the liquid delivery pipe, and a liquid inlet port is located at an end of the liquid delivery pipe opposite to the liquid outlet port.

A filtration method that includes a cleaning step using a chemical agent, wherein provided is the filtration method with excellent chemical resistance performance. The filtration method pertaining to the present invention comprises a filtration step in which a liquid to be filtered is filtered by being passed through a porous membrane formed of a resin, and a cleaning step in which the membrane interior of the porous membrane is cleaned after the filtration step, wherein a porous membrane for which the area ratio of a resin part having an area of 1 μm.sup.2 or less included in a cross section of the membrane interior is at least 70% of the total area of the entire resin part included in the cross section, and said cleaning step includes a step in which an aqueous solution of at least 1% sodium hydroxide is passed through the porous membrane.
