Water treatment method and water treatment device
Provided are a water treatment method and a water treatment device wherein in a biological treatment of ammonium nitrogen-containing water to be treated, the water to be treated can be treated stably at a high treatment speed even when the nitrogen concentration of the water to be treated is high. This water treatment device biologically treats ammonium nitrogen-containing water to be treated. The water treatment device (water treatment method) is provided with: a nitrification device (nitrification step) for oxidizing ammonium nitrogen to nitrite or nitrate nitrogen using nitrifying bacteria including autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria contained in microbial activated sludge; and a nitrification rate control means which maintains a molybdenum compound in the nitrification device in such a manner as to control the molybdenum concentration of the water to be treated to 0.025 mg Mo/gN or more, and controls the nitrification rate for the sludge to 0.11 [kgN/(kgVSS.Math.day)].
METHOD FOR ENHANCING BIOLOGICAL DENITRIFICATION BASED ON ADDITION OF EXOGENOUS BETA CYCLODEXTRIN
The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of water body treatment, and particularly relates to a method for enhancing biological denitrification based on the addition of exogenous β-cyclodextrin. Preferably, Paracoccus denitrificans and β-cyclodextrin are added for biological denitrification enhancement. In the present disclosure, the β-cyclodextrin is exogenously added to a denitrifying medium to construct a denitrification system, so that the denitrification rate of microorganisms may be increased and the production of harmful denitrification intermediate products is reduced.
Two-stage biogas production system for anaerobic digesters
A multi-stage system comprising a digester, a bioreactor, a scrubber, a biofilter, and a membrane filter extracts and purifies biogas from a wastewater feed. The digester separates raw biogas from wastewater, the wastewater is then purified with a three-stage bacterial process in a bioreactor. The scrubber receives raw biogas from the digester under pressure, dissolving waste gases and purifying the methane, which can be further condensed and purified in the membrane filter. The bioreactor receives waste gases from the scrubber and membrane filter, with the ammonia portion of the waste gases rising through water from the bioreactor and being converted by annamox bacteria into nitrogen gas. The multiply recycled gas and water feeds produce a biogas having high purity and reduced atmospheric emissions of waste gases.
Transfer assembly and system for aquaculture
A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility including a plurality of segregated storage facilities each containing water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range and supported at independent ground levels. The storage facilities are successively disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth. A transfer assembly includes a path of fluid flow interconnecting successive ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another, wherein at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow is disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, which is sufficient to facilitate maintenance of the path of fluid flow within the predetermined temperature range, via geothermal cooling.
Transportable wastewater treatment systems and methods
Transportable wastewater treatment systems and wastewater treatment methods are provided, which employ a clarification unit to treat highly polluted wastewater (e.g., with BODs over 400 mg/l and up to 1500 mg/l) with a small footprint and without elaborate infrastructure or even without grid-based energy sources. The clarification unit comprises an anaerobic digestion unit configured to receive influent and reduce an organic load thereof to yield a first stream, an aerobic anoxic air lift reactor configured to treat the first stream and further reduce the organic load thereof to yield a second stream, and an aerobic unit configured to clarify the second stream and deliver effluent, the aerobic unit comprising a plurality of vertical sheets configured to support growth of algae on biofilm, a sprinkling system configured to sprinkle the second stream onto the vertical sheets, and an organic matter removal unit configured to collect organic mass falling off the vertical sheets.

A Novel Single Hybrid Airlift Bioreactor for Wastewater Treatment
The disclosure provides a compact and high-rate bioreactor for wastewater treatment comprising a feeding port for introducing a feed of waste material, a reaction zone in liquid communication with the feed port when the bioreactor is in operation and having an aerator to provide an airlift configuration in the reaction zone; a settling zone comprising a separator for separating a liquid effluent from solid particles; a liquid effluent outlet port for withdrawing the liquid effluent; and a solids outlet port for removing solids. Further provided is a spiral separator for use in a bioreactor and a system comprising the bioreactor and a membrane separator to provide hygienic water.
SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF SEWAGE
A sewage treatment apparatus is provided for reducing nitrogen content in sewage fluid (e.g., after primary treatment). The apparatus uses vegetation to process the sewage fluid and reduce ammonia and organic nitrogen in the processed sewage fluid by uptake of the ammonia and organic nitrogen into the vegetation and by converting the residual ammonia and organic nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates. The apparatus also uses a feedback loop to combine the processed sewage fluid and the raw sewage fluid, such that nitrites and nitrates in the processed sewage fluid are reduced by interacting with carbonaceous waste in the raw sewage fluid.

ANAEROBIC-AO-SACR COMBINED ADVANCED NITROGEN REMOVAL SYSTEM AND TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGH AMMONIA-NITROGEN WASTEWATER
An anaerobic-AO-SACR combined advanced nitrogen removal system for high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater, in which high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater first enters an anaerobic reactor to remove most of organic matters from the wastewater, effluent water enters an AO reactor for nitrogen removal by pre-denitrification in an anoxic zone and for removal of the remaining organic matters and nitrification of ammonia nitrogen in an aerobic zone, and then the effluent water enters an intermediate pool. Meanwhile, under the control of a water quality testing device and a PLC controller, a part of raw water is introduced into the intermediate pool to adjust the carbon nitrogen ratio of the wastewater. Then, the effluent water enters an SACR reactor, and the wastewater undergoes pre-denitrification-nitrification-endogenous denitrification precisely by using the characteristics of denitrifying bacteria and through adjustment and control of PH/DO/ORP testers and the PLC controller on the SACR reactor so as to realize advanced nitrogen removal.
