A water treatment method treats raw water (water to be treated) containing organic wastewater. The method includes (i) an aeration process performs an initial absorption treatment by aerating the water to be treated, (ii) a filtration process for filtering the water to be treated which has been treated by the initial absorption treatment in the aeration process, (iii) a digestion treatment process for digesting solids captured by the filtration process, (iv) a biological treatment process for denitrifying, with activated sludge, filtered water obtained through the filtration process, (v) a sludge transfer process for sending the activated sludge from the biological treatment process to the aeration process, and (vi) an adjustment process for adjusting an amount of the activated sludge sent to the aeration process via the sludge transfer process based on a nitrogen concentration of treated water which has been biologically treated by the biological treatment process.

A continuous frying device is for carrying out a frying process for food products. The device includes a frying oil reservoir which can be filled with a volume of frying oil; a food product carrier which can at least partially be immersed in the frying oil in the frying oil reservoir and at least one heating unit having at least one heating element which is positioned at least partially inside the frying oil reservoir and which has a heating surface which is in contact with the frying oil in the frying oil reservoir during the frying process. The filter chain has a first filter inside the frying oil reservoir and an external filter chain. In operation a volume of at least three times the volume of frying oil contained in the frying oil reservoir passes through the external filter chain per hour.

A filtering device and a tableware washing apparatus, the filtering device includes a rotary filter and a drive assembly. The rotary filter includes a columnar filtering screen configured to filter water from a washing process of the tableware washing apparatus; wherein a diameter of an external circle defined by each mesh of the columnar filtering screen is between 0.2 to 0.5 mm. The drive assembly is connected to the rotary filter and configured to drive the columnar filtering screen to rotate relative to contents within the columnar filtering screen at a relative speed of 100 to 1000 r/min, for separating at least a portion of residue on the columnar filtering screen from the columnar filtering screen.

A microplastic filter includes a housing including an inlet configured to receive water. The microplastic filter also includes a fine filter disposed to rotate within the housing and configured to filter residues from the water. The microplastic filter further includes an inside wiper disposed within the fine filter. The inside wiper includes a center post disposed along a rotational axis of the fine filter and a helical curved wall spirally extending between the center post and the fine filter, where the helical curved wall is configured to guide a portion of the water to backflow through the fine filter and force away at least some filtered residues from pores of the fine filter to prevent fouling or clogging of the fine filter. In addition, the microplastic filter includes an outside wiper spirally disposed around the fine filter and configured to dislodge other filtered residues from the fine filter as the fine filter rotates.

A brine injection machine for injecting brine to meat pieces is provided. The machine comprises an auxiliary frame (10) configured to carry a pre-filtering unit (6), and a pre-filtered brine tank (7), the auxiliary frame being detachable with regard to the main frame (1). At least one level sensors (32) is configured for detecting an amount of pre-filtered brine in the pre-filtered brine tank (7), and an electronic control device is configured for controlling the brine injection operation as a function of the amount of pre-filtered brine in the pre-filtered brine tank (7) that can be recycled, as detected by the at least one level sensor (32) at the end of a brine injection cycle. It is also disclosed a method for operating a brine injection machine according to the invention.

The present invention relates to comminutors for breaking down waste and, more particularly, comminutors having a screen that rotates for directing large waste particles into a cutting assembly. In addition to a rotating screen, a second, stationary screen is provided that has horizontal ribs adapted to cooperate with interleaved ribs on the rotating screen so as create a composite fine screen at an inlet end of the comminutor, while creating a coarse screen at the outlet end of the comminutor.

Rotary drum filtering machine and method for filtration of harvested algae. A filtering drum, axially rotatable horizontally, includes a filtration basket with thermally coupled mesh netting for retaining algae and passing through liquid when filtering drum is rotated. Feeding liquid containing algae is fed into filtering drum via inlet pipe. Filtered algae retained on internal surface of filtration basket is scraped and collected, and removed through outlet pipe. Filtration basket is axially embedded and releasably secured to a support frame. Mesh netting is thermally pressed into filtration basket such that filtration basket polymer material penetrates through mesh netting apertures, and polymeric rod thermally pressed onto mesh netting fuses to filtration basket polymer material with mesh netting contained therebetween. Mesh netting includes wired mesh with wire diameter less than 1,000 pm and micron sized apertures having aperture diameter of 1 pm-500 pm to enable filtration of micron sized algae.
