A wastewater management system has a container with the first chamber and a second chamber therein, a diverter valve having an inlet and a first outlet, a holding tank interconnected to the first outlet of the diverter valve, and a controller connected to the diverter valve so as to move the diverter valve to the first position. The first outlet is directed to the first chamber. The inlet of the diverter valve is adapted to receive wastewater from a location remote from the container. The inlet is connected to the first outlet in the first position. The diverter valve can be a three-way valve having a first outlet directed to the first chamber and a second outlet directed to a second chamber. The controller moves the diverter valve between first and second outlets.

Methods and systems for separating liquid components are disclosed. A vessel is provided containing a solids conveyance device. At least a first portion of the vessel acts as an indirect-contact heat exchanger and a second portion of the vessel contains a filter. A process liquid stream, containing a first component and a second component, is passed into the first portion of the vessel. A portion of the second component is frozen and entrained in the first portion of the vessel into the process liquid stream, resulting in a process slurry stream. The process slurry stream is passed into a second portion of the vessel by the solids conveyance device. The process slurry stream is separated into a solid product stream and a primary liquid product stream by passing the primary liquid product stream through the filter and out of the vessel while separately removing the solid product stream out of the vessel.

A honey processing apparatus that is configured to provide processing of a wax/honey emulsion so as to separate the honey from the wax and provide separate collection thereof. The present invention includes a vessel having a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber includes an interior volume having a heating fluid disposed therein. The second chamber is also disposed within the interior volume of the first chamber and wherein the heating fluid is surroundably present thereto. A coil is present within the second chamber and the coil is fluidly coupled with the heating fluid. A pump is operably coupled to the coil and is configured to provide closed-loop recirculation of the heating fluid within the coil so as to provide heating of the wax/honey emulsion in order to facilitate the separation thereof. A honey extraction tube coupled with the second chamber provides extraction of the honey.
