An extraction manifold for extracting digestate from a covered lagoon digester includes a digester vessel being shaped generally as a rectangular prism lacking an upward facing face and having a floor sloping generally downward from an intake face to an extraction face of the digester vessel. The intake face and extraction face are oriented vertically, situated in opposed relation on a longer horizontal axis. Each effluent pipe terminates in an extraction nozzle on one end and an independently addressable actuatable valve on the opposite end. Each actuatable valve communicates with a manifold plenum such that actuation of the valve draws digestate from the floor in a region of the floor adjacent to the extraction face and in proximity to the extraction nozzle. A valve controller actuates valves to remove digestate from the region of the floor adjacent to the extraction face. The valve controller includes sensors to monitor biogas production.

An apparatus for filtration has a feed of sludge, containing liquid, solids and gases fed into a tank, the tank containing at least one spinning separation filter comprising a filter cone set having a filter screen, and a barrier cone, arranged roughly in parallel, and defining a conical workspace between them, the conical workspace having a peripheral opening to the tank and a central opening communicating with the interiors of one or more hollow shafts supporting the barrier cone and the filter cone, the upper shaft supporting the barrier cone having an upper axial channel for the exit of gases, the lower shaft supporting the center of the filter cone having a lower axial channel for the exit of liquid or oil, motor means for producing rotation in said at least one spinning separation filter, and a filtrate liquid reservoir located underneath the filter cone for capturing the filtrate passing through the filter screen.

The use of ferric sulphate or polyferric sulphate to treat liquid animal effluent to reduce methane emissions therefrom.

The present invention provides advanced livestock wastewater treatment systems, devices and methods for simultaneous removal of nitrate (nitrite) from treated wastewater at cathode chamber and of organics, suspended solids and malodor (caused by volatile fatty acids) from raw wastewater at anode chamber using anaerobic bioelectrochemical system (BES). The present invention provides a device comprising at least one anode chamber equipped inside with at least one anode, and at least one cathode chamber equipped inside with at least one cathode, wherein the anode chamber is attached to the cathode chamber via separator in order to transport anions or cations between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber.

A method of providing, maintaining and using a youthful added microbe population for the treatment of wastewater. A method of providing green sustainable microbiology net zero carbon solution to waste water and waste material treatment using biofermentation to treat the waste water and waste material with aa treatment containing biofermented microbes.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for enhancing production of an aquaculture pond. The systems generally comprise a photo electrolysis array that includes an electrolyzer module and a photovoltaic cell. The electrolyzer module is operable to produce hydrogen and oxygen. A diffuser diffuses the produced oxygen into the aquaculture pond water, thereby increasing the concentration of oxygen in the aquaculture pond.

A recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is disclosed, which includes a main tank, in which fish or shellfish are farmed; a first reactor fluidically connected to the main tank, wherein the first reactor is a batch reactor that operates under anoxic conditions; a second reactor fluidically connected to the main tank, wherein the second reactor is a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR);a feed stream fluidically connected to the main tank; and a data-driven controller operably connected to the first reactor, the second reactor, and the feed stream, wherein the data-driven controller is configured to bring and maintain the system (RAS) at a desired state.

An apparatus to remove sludge from a reservoir of liquid. A downwardly opening enclosure is positioned atop the floor of a reservoir with the enclosure having inlets for sludge and liquid to flow into the cavity. The cavity includes a channel for the sludge and liquid to flow upward in the channel which increases in size. Gas emitters on the edge portions of the enclosure assist the flow of sludge and liquid into the cavity.

A waste stream is treated by anaerobic digestion. A process is described involves a step of separating solids from digestate, and returning separated solids to a digester. Optionally, there may be a step of solids separation in which larger solids are removed from the digester. A process and apparatus are described for treating waste sludge from a wastewater treatment plant in an anaerobic digester. Feed sludge is thickened or solids are separated from digestate and returned to the digester. Additional co-digestion waste may be added to the digester. The process and apparatus may be used in a retrofit of an existing wastewater treatment plant.

A device (1) for drying and sanitising organic waste materials, comprising a container body (10) for housing the waste materials to be dried and provided with an inlet (16) for the materials to be dried and an outlet (17) for the dried materials, mixing elements (20) located in the container body (10) and provided with at least a blade (21) able to mix the materials to be dried and sanitised, projectingly supported by a rotating shaft (23), a ventilation circuit (30) able to generate a forced ventilation of air internally of the container body (10), and comprising generator means (33) of an air flow located externally of the container body (10) communicating with at least a dispenser nozzle (34) located internally of the container body (10), in which the at least a dispenser nozzle (34) is associated to the at least a blade (21) able to mix the waste materials located in the container body (10) wherein it comprises at least a temperature sensor (42) configured such as to measure a temperature internally of the container body (10) and in that it comprises a control system which receives a signal from the at least a temperature sensor (42) and is able to control the air flow injected into the container body (10) by the ventilation circuit (30) as a function of the signal received from the temperature sensor (42).
