Disclosed herein is a process for the treatment of wastewater for biosolids reduction and biogas (i.e. methane) generation where a wastewater is provided to a first reactor which is operated under anaerobic conditions, a hydraulic/solids retention time of from 0.1 to 1 day, a temperature of from 30 to 70° C. and a pH of from 6.5 to 10, with the effluent of the first reactor passing to a second reactor which is operated under anaerobic conditions, a hydraulic/solids retention time of from 3 to 10 days and a temperature of from 30 to 70° C. The process may further comprise feeding an effluent produced from the second reactor to a third reactor operated under anaerobic conditions, a hydraulic/solids retention time of from 3 to 20 days and a temperature of from 30 to 70° C.

A water treatment system filters out solid material containing carbon, and provides that solid material to a fermenter. Volatile fatty acids are produced within the fermenter. After fermentation, a second filtering operation is utilized to permit passage of water and volatile fatty acids while filtering out solids from the fermenter. The volatile fatty acids are used as a food source for bacteria during secondary treatment of the water.

A process for batch processing by-product water to obtain a batch of beneficial use water for application to an targeted area of soil with determined moisture and chemical characteristic to change that soil characteristic to a desired soil characteristic includes the steps of measuring the moisture and chemical composition of the targeted area of soil; determining a desired soil characteristic that will grow selected vegetation; defining a chemical composition of a batch water to be applied to the soil to obtain the desired composition; processing a batch of by-product water in accordance with the defined composition; applying the batch of processed water to the targeted area of soil; measuring the moisture and chemical composition of the soil after application; repeating the process until desired composition is achieved or the vegetation growth is completed.

A gas-liquid-solid separator can include a separator body having a vertical outer wall and a gas collector having a vertical gas collector wall surrounded by the outer wall, with a gas inlet opening at a bottom of the gas collector. An annular volume between the gas collector wall and the outer wall can contain a plurality of inclined flow channels. The flow channels can have a channel inlet opening at the bottom and can slope upward following a helical path between the gas collector wall and the outer wall. A gas-liquid-solid mixture inlet opening can be in a floor of the separator body. The mixture opening can be positioned below the gas inlet opening and the mixture inlet opening can have a top-down profile that fits within a top-down profile of the gas inlet opening.

A system and method for treatment of wastewater, in which the system includes a blackwater reactor configured to receive a stream of blackwater influent, to contain the blackwater therein during treatment of the blackwater, to facilitate recovery of methane and nutrient precipitates therefrom, and to output partially treated blackwater, and a greywater reactor configured to receive a stream of greywater influent and the partially treated blackwater output from the blackwater reactor, to contain the greywater and the partially treated blackwater therein during greywater treatment, and to output greywater treatment discharge. The process includes inputting a stream of blackwater into the blackwater reactor; treating the blackwater in the blackwater reactor with an anaerobic digestion process; controlling a pH level of the blackwater within the blackwater reactor; recovering nutrient precipitates from the blackwater reactor, optionally independent of chemical additives; and recovering methane from the blackwater reactor.
