The present development is a method for producing a high concentration free amino acid soy hydrolysate composition and a method for using the resulting hydrolysate composition. The high concentration free amino acid soy hydrolysate is used to enhance the microbe population found in soil and wastewater. The enhanced microbe population can promote plant growth, particularly for use in brownfields and similar reclamation sites or on turf grasses, and can promote the digestion of sewage solids.

A water hygiene improving system and method are provided which may include and utilize one or more water hygiene improving devices which may be coupled to a building water supply network at any number of locations so that water passing through each water hygiene improving device is returned to the building water supply network. The water hygiene improving device may include one or more membrane filtration systems and optionally one or more bioreactors. The system and method include a new and innovative approach for surviving or improving water hygiene within the whole water supply network of new or existing buildings, for prevention of their contamination with Legionella or other pathogens, general limitation of biofilm growth and their negative effects on water hygiene, also at point of use (POU), and water distribution within new or existing buildings by limitation of incoming nutrients, bacteria and other microorganisms at point of entry (POE) of buildings or at other locations of the water supply network within the building.

The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to prepare and use prediction models for controlling contaminants of a liquid. Some embodiments may: sense, via a sensor, a magnified image of a sample of the liquid; identify at least one shape in the image; determine a relative predominance of microscopic life forms within at least a portion of the image; and generate a report indicating any required corrective action based on the identification and the determination.

Process of sewage treatment in a continuous, linear and flexible channel, through a modified aerobic biological reactor system, or transformation of an existing anaerobic biological reactor into a modified aerobic biological reactor, coupled with a modified flexible flotation/decantation system, intended for the sewage treatment, to be carried out in a treatment plant, in a continuous, linear and flexible channel, using, as preliminary treatment, a garbage grid and a sandbox, to remove these debris, followed by a primary treatment, where the sewage receives the primary treatment inside an aerobic reactor—modified MBBR, or inside a pond aerated, facultative or anaerobic, transformed into an aerobic reactor—modified MBBR, or even inside an anaerobic reactor—UASB transformed into an aerobic reactor—modified MBBR, followed by a secondary treatment.

A method of conditioning wastewater includes flowing wastewater into and through a first fluid tube and flowing a heat transfer fluid into and through a second fluid tube. The heat transfer fluid entering the second fluid tube has a different temperature than the wastewater entering the first fluid tube. The first fluid tube and said second fluid tube are positioned within a first casing that is surrounded by insulation. The first casing and the insulation are positioned within a second casing. The wastewater in said first fluid tube and said heat transfer fluid in said second fluid tube are arranged to allow heat transfer between the wastewater in said first fluid tube and the heat transfer fluid in said second fluid tube.

A method and a ventilation system includes ventilation ducts, a control system and at least one spray nozzle. The at least one spray nozzle is configured to spray a liquid mist onto at least one portion of an inner surface of the ventilation system. The liquid mist contains a culture of microorganisms adapted for biologically treating fat, oil and grease present on at least one portion of the inner surface of the ventilation system, thereby providing for partial biodegradation of the fat, oil and grease present on the at least one portion of the inner surfaces of the ventilation system.

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.
