A dewatering screen includes a frame, a deck mounted upon the frame, and the deck having a plurality of apertures therein. The frame is mounted on a base with a vibration generator for imparting vibration to the deck. A delivery device delivers wet particulate material to be dewatered onto the deck, and there is at least one dividing wall extending across a portion of the deck, the dividing wall(s) separating the deck into a material dewatering region and one or more water drainage regions. The delivery device delivers wet particulate material to be dewatered onto the material dewatering region of the deck.

Disclosed is a preparation system and a preparation method for high-quality xylitol crystals. The preparation system comprises a blending tank, a heat exchanger, a decolorization tank, an ion exchange system, a microporous filter, a first evaporator, a first crystallization kettle, a first centrifuge, a fluidization drying bed, a xylitol dissolution tank, a second evaporator, a second crystallization kettle, a second centrifuge, a hot air drying tank, and a cold air fluidization bed sequentially connected through pipelines. Liquid outlet of the first centrifuge is connected with first inlet of the blending tank. Liquid outlet of the second centrifuge is connected with first inlet of the xylitol dissolution tank. The blending tank is provided with second inlet for receiving xylitol hydrogenation solution. The xylitol dissolution tank is provided with water inlet for pure water. The material output from a product outlet of the cold air fluidization bed is xylitol crystal product. First prepared xylitol crystals are redissolved and recrystallized to prepare xylitol crystals with higher pH and better flavor.

A method for converting waste oil into oil products includes forwarding the waste oil to an oil treatment part of a waste oil converting system that includes one or more of the following subsystems: a decanter, a centrifuge, a chemical addition subsystem, a mixer, a filter, a settling tank, a water injection nozzle and/or a heater. Then measuring a property of the waste oil, such as density, viscosity, amount of water, amount of ash, amount of particles, and/or flash-point, using a sensor. Then adjusting one or more settings of the subsystem based on at least one measured value using a control system. Also treating the waste oil with the at least one subsystem to decrease a water content, a sludge content and/or a particle content of the waste oil, and using the control system to control an outlet flow of the treated waste oil. Also the waste oil converting system.

A prismatic reflector is provided for incorporation into a centrifugal separation chamber. The prismatic reflector is formed of a light-transmissive material and includes inner and outer walls and first and second end walls. The inner wall is configured to receive light traveling along an initial path and transmit the light to the first end wall, with the first end wall receiving the light transmitted through the inner wall and directing the light toward the second end wall in a direction that is angled with respect to the initial path. The second end wall receives the light from the first end wall and transmits the light out of the prismatic reflector. The initial path of the light may be in a direction toward a rotational axis of the centrifugal separation chamber, with the prismatic reflector redirecting the light into a direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis.

A method of separating a lignin-rich solid phase from a solution suspension, by pretreating a lignocellulosic biomass with a pretreatment fluid having remove soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles; separating the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass from the pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles; flocculating the separated pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles using polyethylene oxide (i.e., PEO) or cationic Poly acrylamide (i.e., CPAM) as a flocculating agent; and filtering the flocculated separated pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles to remove agglomerates.

The present disclosure provides a portable high throughput liquid filter system.

Systems and methods for recovering clarified water and by-products from hydrovac waste or other slurry waste include a receiving unit for receiving the waste; a processing unit for separating coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and raw water within the waste; and a water clarifying unit for removing ultrafine suspended solids and solid particles from the raw water to yield clarified water.

A vacuum truck for dispensing water into a sewer or similar location and receiving recovered water from the sewer that includes debris to be removed therefrom. The vacuum truck includes a debris tank that receives the recovered water and retains debris removed from the recovered water. A primary and a secondary filter are positioned in the debris tank for separating debris from the recovered water. A water pump draws the recovered water through the secondary filter and provides the water to a tertiary filter that removes smaller debris from the recovered water. The recovered water from the tertiary filter is provided directly to a jetting water pump without being accumulated in a water holding tank. The vacuum truck includes a water storage tank that includes potable water for cleaning the truck or when recovered water is not available from the debris tank.

A fluid filter apparatus includes a first surrounding sidewall, a co-axial second surrounding sidewall, a co-axial third surrounding sidewall, and a co-axial fourth surrounding sidewall, an outer annulus as between the first and third surrounding sidewalls, and a domed end on the fourth sidewall, wherein a first interior is formed between the second and the fourth sidewalls. Also, a ported head body that includes two pairs of opposing inlet and outlet apertures and inlet and outlet chambers, wherein the body is adjacent to the first and third sidewalls and a filter media disposed within the first sidewall. Operationally, a dirty fluid enters therethrough the inlet aperture to the inlet chamber into the outer annulus, to the first interior, and through the dome and communicates onward therethrough the filter media and outward to the outlet chamber and to the outlet aperture.

The present invention relates to a system for disposal of waste containing food waste or livestock manure and production of energy and a method therefor, wherein the system can dispose of waste, such as food waste or livestock manure, without using chemical additives or a precipitation bath generally used for disposal of wastewater, and can allow separation of wastewater and solid organic substances from the waste, disposal thereof, and then recycling thereof, respectively.
