The invention relates to the methods for sewage treatment contaminated by mechanical impurities, fats, proteins and other organic and inorganic compounds, and can be used for purification and water disinfection contaminated by heavy and radioactive metals, saturated or unsaturated fats, filtrate from landfills for solid household waste, disposals of meat processing plants, and water contaminated with oil and petroleum products. The method for treatment and disinfection of industrial wastewater includes flotation, electrocoagulation and filtration. The new is that the method also provides: mixing water with powder hydrophobic carbon-based sorbent with high absorbing capacity; filtration of a suspension of water and a carbon sorbent on a rubber-based hydrophobic sorbent; decomposition of saturated and unsaturated fat, oil, petroleum products and other organic substances accumulated on carbon and rubber sorbents; floatation in flow mode with the addition of hydrogen peroxide; recovery of the active substance in the presence of hydrogen peroxide; and its further reuse; electrocoagulation in flow mode with water saturation with oxygen and hydrogen, formed on indispensable carbon or metal electrodes, and on the active substance based on the of aluminum, titanium, sodium, tin, copper, and other metals; water disinfection by electro-cavitation; generation of active substance based on the iron and titanium atoms; water filtration on the precoat filter, filtering on activated carbon filter.

A method comprises: removing most suspending solid pollutants after a primary treatment for the sewage which is then placed into a secondary biochemical treatment section; mixing the magnetic sludge carbon carrier and a solvent to prepare a mixed solution which is then placed into the secondary biochemical treatment section synchronously with the sewage; uniformly mixing the sewage, the magnetic sludge carbon carrier and the activated sludge in a biochemical treatment construction; performing a dreg-water separation in a sedimentation tank on the mixed solution flowing out of the secondary biochemical treatment section; and recycling magnetic particles with the magnetic separation apparatus. The sewage treatment process with a magnetic sludge carbon carrier cooperated with standard upgrading and capacity improvement, which not only addresses sludge removal in sewage treatment plants, but also is cooperated with standard upgrading and capacity improvement, has advantages of saving investment cost, good sewage treatment effect, environmental friendliness etc.

An anaerobic digester is fed a feedstock, for example sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant, and produces a digestate. The digestate is dewatered into a cake. The cake may be dried further, for example in a thermal drier. The cake is treated in a pyrolysis system to produce a synthesis gas and biochar. The gas is sent to the same or another digester to increase its methane production. The char may be used as a soil enhancer.
