SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEPARATING FLUID MIXTURES
Systems and methods for separating a flowback mixture received from a wellbore. Employing a vessel with internal chambers to receive the mixture and employing eductors and a shaker to manage the separation of the mixture to produce a supply of solids-free liquid ready for reuse.
SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS OF DEWATERING SOLID/LIQUID MIXTURES
A system for dewatering a solid/liquid mixture is provided. The system is configured to separate the solids and liquid from the solid/liquid mixture. A method of dewatering is also provided. A mobile filtration system is provided. A system for separating a solid/liquid mixture is provided and includes a dump basin and a filter container in fluid communication with the dump basin. The dump basin includes a floor upon which an earthmoving implement may drive and upon which a solid/liquid mixture is dumped. The floor may define a plurality of apertures therein through which liquid from the solid/liquid mixture passes and through which the solid does not pass. The liquid passing through, the floor flows into the filter container. The filter container may include a weir plate. Methods of operation and assembly are further provided.
Wastewater Re-Use Systems
A wastewater reuse system has a wastewater treatment system connected to a dwelling for receiving wastewater therefrom. The wastewater treatment system has a pump tank with an outlet that can be connected to a central wastewater collection system and/or a re-use recipient of treated wastewater such as an irrigation system. A monitoring system connected
Method to Improve the Dewatering of Farm Waste Sludges
A system for processing a manure sludge includes in a preferred embodiment: (a) an anaerobic digester; (b) a drying bed planted with a plurality of macrophytes, said macrophytes being nurtured so they are growing and engaging in evapotranspiration bed; and (c) a transfer assembly adapted to deliver a manure sludge from the anaerobic digester to the drying bed so that the roots of the plants contact manure sludge transferred to the drying bed so that the sludge is dried by evapotranspiration. The anaerobic digester and transfer assembly are adapted to: (i) treat raw farm waste slurry to provide a biostabilized manure sludge composition; and (ii) deliver the biostabilized manure sludge composition to the drying bed at a solids content of at least about 1% by weight.
Wastewater re-use systems
A wastewater reuse system has a wastewater treatment system connected to a dwelling for receiving wastewater therefrom. The wastewater treatment system has a pump tank with an outlet that can be connected to a central wastewater collection system. There can be a pump in the pump tank for pumping water from the pump tank to a use recipient of treated wastewater such as an irrigation system.
CUTTING FLUID TANK FOR MACHINE TOOL
Provided is a cutting fluid tank for a machine tool, which is capable of sufficiently collecting and removing sludge mixed in a cutting fluid even when a chip conveyor or the like is disposed in a tank main body, and with which a location where sludge remains accumulating on a bottom of the tank main body is less likely to occur even when an operation is restarted after being suspended. A cutting fluid tank includes: a tank main body; a first circulation pump; a sludge transfer nozzle configured to eject the sludge-containing cutting fluid pumped out by the first circulation pump, toward a sludge collection pump; a second circulation; and first agitation nozzles configured to eject the sludge-containing cutting fluid that is pumped out by the second circulation pump, toward predetermined points in the tank main body.
System and method for removing iron from waste water
Systems and methods for removing iron from waste water employ one or more oxidizers, one or more treatment tanks having one or more self-generating and self-sustaining active sludge layers, and one or more spray-atomizing devices. A mixture of flowback fracturing water, or produced water, and the one or more oxidizers is spray-atomized by the spray-atomizing device inside the one or more treatment tanks. The atomized mixture settles in the one or more treatment tanks resulting in one or more self-generating and self-sustaining active sludge layers and one or more treated solutions. Additional mixtures of the flowback fracturing water, or produced water, and the one or more oxidizers may be continually spray-atomized into the one or more treatment tanks and filtered by the one or more sludge layer(s) so as to remove precipitated iron species from accumulated distillates and produce additional treated solutions for collection in one or more finish tanks.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLUID PROCESSING
A fluid separator unit includes an elongate body having a circular internal cross-section and a longitudinal axis, an inlet which directs a fluid flow into the body in a rotational flow pattern around the longitudinal axis, a first outlet, a second outlet, a first centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a second centrifugal separation zone arranged within the body, a first fluid path from a central part of the first centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, a second fluid path from an outer periphery of the second centrifugal separation zone to the first outlet, and a third fluid path from the second centrifugal separation zone to the second outlet. A diameter of the second centrifugal separation zone is smaller than a diameter of the first centrifugal separation zone.
NUTRIENT CONCENTRATION AND WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A nutrient concentration and water recovery system includes a first suspended solids settling tank configured to receive a flow stream that includes a waste stream with a sludge stream. A first centrifugal pump is coupled to the first suspended solids settling tank. The first centrifugal pump having corrosion resistant wetted parts and variable speed drives to transfer or pressurize process flow streams. A first level transmitter coupled to the first centrifugal pump that provides output signals in response to a level of a process material within the first suspended solids settling tank. The first level transmitter is mounted in the first suspended solids settling tank. A first flow transmitter coupled to the first level transmitter is configured to measure a specific volume of material transferred out of the first suspended solids settling tank. A first pump is coupled to the first flow meter and configured to transfer a flush water that includes suspended solids and inorganics. A vibrating screen is coupled to the first pump. A process tank is coupled to the submersible pump. A sedimentation removal system and a removal device coupled to the sedimentation removal system are provided and configured to remove inorganizes out of a suspension.
ENERGY PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR PURGING WATER CONTAINED IN AN ASSOCIATED AIRCRAFT TANK
An energy production assembly includes a pump and at least one system for purging water contained in a fuel reservoir. The purging system (22) comprises a transport pipe and a sampling pipe, secured to the transport pipe, extending between a sampling inlet and a sampling outlet, the sampling inlet emerging in a region (36) of the reservoir (16) configured to accumulate water, the sampling outlet emerging in the transport pipe, upstream from or in the Venturi. The pump (14) is arranged downstream from the Venturi, and at least one region of the sampling pipe comprising the sampling outlet is coaxial with the transport pipe.
