A method and an automated liquid handling system for the isolation of particles from a biological sample are provided. A column, a container and a filtration unit which are adapted to be used in such a method and system are provided. The column can include a section comprising a plurality of microbeads retained there.

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.

A water treatment device construction structure having a grating room and a method for constructing various water spaces/waterscape facilities having the same coupled thereto are disclosed. The structure relates to a buried water treatment device for treating operation water such as tap water, groundwater, rainwater, and surface water through an environment-friendly method. A water treatment device construction structure having a grating room is coupled to civil engineering/landscaping facilities, or to fish farms that are to be constructed in view of the purpose of construction and productivity. The water treatment facility having a reservoir coupled thereto is provided in a predetermined position below facilities or on the lower-end or peripheral portion thereof in a buried/underground type. Accordingly, there is no burden in site selection; a large amount of operation water can be stored without degrading the aesthetic landscape; and natural energy can be used preferentially.

An automated waste water treatment system includes a collection tank constructed to hold waste water, a first flow line connected to the collection tank to output the waste water from the collection tank, an electrocoagulation unit that receives the waste water and outputs the waste water as coagulated waste water, a polymer dosage tank to provide a polymer dosage to the coagulated waste water to produce and output flocculated waste water. An air grid of the electrocoagulation unit, the latter housing a plurality of electrodes, increases the lifespan and efficiency of the electrodes to perform electrocoagulation of the waste water. A clarifier connected to the flow line receives the flocculated waste water and produces sludge-free waste water and concentrated sludge, a series of filters to output filter-treated water, and an ultrafiltration system that receives filter-treated water and outputs ultrafiltration-treated water to a reverse osmosis system.

A filtration device comprising a media basket, a baseplate, and a canister. The media basket is affixed to the baseplate. The canister has a cavity therein and is detachably coupled with the baseplate to enclose the media basket. The media basket contains a porous filtration material that efficiently removes contaminants from liquid. The device is configured to establish a first siphon to convey liquid from outside the device into the canister cavity through a canister pipe when a liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the weir in the canister pipe and configured to establish a second siphon to convey liquid from canister cavity through the top of a center riser pipe and out an outlet pipe when the first siphon has been established and the liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the center riser pipe.
