A method of forming a honeycomb-shaped assembly comprises providing a plurality of profiled strips. Each of the profiled strips comprises two base sides positioned at an obtuse angle relative to each other to form a trough-shaped configuration. An inner projecting flange and an outer projecting flange extend from the base sides. One of the inner projecting flange and outer projecting flange comprises an groove. Two connecting sides each extend along a plane from one of the two base sides and each includes at least one free end including a projection. The plurality of profiled strips are stacked to form an octagonal honeycomb configuration by inserting the projection of a connecting side of one of the plurality of profiled strips into the groove of a base side of another of the plurality of profiled strips. At least a portion of the projection is received by the groove in an interlocking manner.

A method of removing sediment from fluid flow within a storm water drain pit by deflecting flow entering the pit towards the side walls of the pit by one or more deflectors. This reduces the energy of the fluid flow and promotes settling of sediment within the catch pit. Each deflector is preferably of a concave form and may be located in a storm water drain pit bag or suspended. A removable catch basin receptacle for a storm water drain pit includes a container has a low flow outlet defining a fluid path for fluid at a first level within the container to a second level, higher than the first level, outside the container. An overflow path provides a fluid flow path out of the container at a level higher than the first or second level.

A method for preparing a bio-based composite using palm biomass powder as raw material, which belongs to the technical field of preparation methods for bio-based composites. During palm micropowder washing, 100 parts by weight of 600-1,200 mesh palm micropowder is placed in a reactor, and 400-500 parts by weight of acetone is added to the reactor in a 1:4 or 1:5 bath ratio; during surface treatment of palm micropowder, the reaction system after solvent displacement is heated to 80-100° C., and distillate is dehydrated with a 3A molecular sieve and then refluxed to a reactor; bio-based resin is compounded and extruded. At least one embodiment of the present invention solves the problem that use of palm as a biomass raw material leads to impurity migration and insufficient product performance due to high small oily molecule content.

The disclosure provides a sewage treatment device and method for a thermal desorption system. The device comprises the thermal desorption system and a sewage treatment assembly connected with the thermal desorption system. The sewage treatment assembly comprises a particle precipitation tank for removing large particle suspended matters in sewage, a chemical purification tank for removing organic mattes in sewage and a filter tank for removing fine suspended matters in sewage, which are connected in turn, the particle precipitation tank comprises a stirring cavity provided with a stirring mechanism and a contaminant collection cavity, and the stirring mechanism comprises a stirring shaft provided with several groups of stirring blades along a length direction and a first motor driving the stirring shaft to rotate.

The present invention provides an apparatus for feeding a feed slurry into a particle separator having a fluidisation source. The feed apparatus comprises a chamber having at least one baffle for dividing the chamber into a first zone and a second zone. A feed inlet feeds the slurry into the first zone (20) and the baffle deflects the slurry away from the second zone and direct fluidisation fluid from the fluidisation source through the second zone to combine with the slurry from the first zone. A particle separator incorporating the feed apparatus and a method of particle separation is also provided.

A coalescing removal separator includes a separator tank having a separator input configured to receive a fluid flowing through a system having entrained gasses and solid particles, having a tank wall configured to form a volume/chamber inside the separator tank to process the fluid, and having a separator output configured to provide processed fluid that is free of at least some of the entrained gasses and solid particles; and a coalescing media arranged in the volume/chamber of the separator tank, the coalescing media having at least one helically wound brush with a stem and intertwined bristles substantially filling the volume/chamber of the separator tank and being configured to enable the at least some of the entrained gasses and solid particles to come out of the fluid.

There is described a tray unit for a wastewater treatment device. The tray unit has a substantially frusto-conical profile defining an axis and a central aperture. The tray unit comprises a plurality of distinct tray sections arranged around the axis. Each tray section comprises a portion of the substantially frusto-conical profile of the tray unit and is connectable to one or more of the other tray sections so as to form the tray unit. There is also described a method of assembling a tray assembly for a wastewater treatment device. The method comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of tray units, the tray units each having a substantially frusto-conical profile and a central aperture and comprising a plurality of connecting lugs each defining a hole; attaching a first one of the tray units to a plurality of support members by inserting the support members through the hole of the connecting lug of the first tray unit and securing the first tray unit to the support member; and attaching a second one of the tray units to the plurality of support members by inserting the support members through the hole of the connecting lug of the second tray unit and securing the second tray unit to the support member to form an assembly of tray units.

A filter for removing particles held in suspension by a fluid. The filter includes (a) a manifold having an inlet and an outlet; and (b) a main filter body connected to the manifold. The main filter body includes a flow disrupter, the flow disrupter comprising a tiered plate assembly arranged in the filter body and each plate in the tiered plate assembly comprises an arrangement of apertures. The inlet of the manifold, the tiered plate assembly, the outlet of the manifold and a bottom of the main filter body define a flow path for fluid to be treated.

Described is a method of treating wastewater. The method includes receiving the wastewater at a ballasted activated sludge secondary treatment aeration basin. The method also includes adding a ballast material to the wastewater, treating the wastewater in the ballasted activated sludge secondary treatment aeration basin to produce a ballasted mixed liquor effluent, receiving the ballasted mixed liquor effluent at a high-rate heavy solids removal zone that includes one or more high-rate heavy solids removal units, and removing ballasted heavy solids from the ballasted mixed liquor effluent using the one or more high-rate heavy solids removal units to produce a concentrated ballasted heavy solids effluent and a clarified liquid effluent. Also described is a system for treating wastewater including a ballasted activated sludge secondary treatment aeration basin and a high-rate heavy solids removal zone for treating a ballasted mixed liquor effluent.
