Accurate biocide dosing for low concentration membrane biofouling control applications
Biocide can be controllably added to a feed stream for a membrane. In some examples, the feed stream is separated into a primary feed stream and a secondary feed stream, for example, with the secondary feed stream having a lower flow rate than the primary feed stream. The secondary feed stream may be used to monitor and control the addition of the biocide, which is then diluted when the secondary feed stream is combined with the primary feed stream to form a combined stream for delivery to the membrane.
ACCELERATED SETTLEMENT OF FLOCS AFTER ELECTROCOAGULATION/ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS USING BALLASTED FLOCCULATION
A water treatment system comprises a source of water including one or more contaminants, an electrocoagulation cell including a housing defining a fluid flow conduit, an anode disposed within the fluid flow conduit, and a cathode disposed within the fluid flow conduit, the housing including an inlet fluidly connectable to the source of water and an outlet, a solids/liquid separation system having an inlet fluidly connectable to the outlet of the housing of the electrocoagulation cell, a solids-rich outlet, and a solids-lean outlet, and a ballast feed system configured to deliver a ballast to the solids/liquid separation system.
Docking Station for Mobile Deionization Trailers and Related Methods
A docking station at a service site fluidly connectable to a mobile water treatment system having one or more deionization units comprises a fluid inlet configured to receive processed water from the mobile water treatment system and a fluid outlet configured to deliver the processed water to a point of use. The docking station also comprises a monitoring system configured to monitor at least one water quality parameter of the processed water, and a processor configured to receive the monitored water quality parameter and communicate with a central monitoring system disposed remotely from the station regarding the monitored water quality parameter.
Method for treating industrial waste
Disclosed herein is a method for removing contaminants from an industrial fluid waste. The method comprises the steps of ozofractionating the industrial fluid waste whereby contaminants are oxidised and a foam fractionate is formed; and separating at least a portion of the foam fractionate and any precipitate from the ozofractionated fluid.
Process for water treatment using membrane biofilm reactor
An apparatus has a plurality of gas transfer membranes. The apparatus floats in water with the membranes submerged in the water. To treat the water, a gas is supplied to the membranes and is transferred to a biofilm supported on the membranes or to the water. Gas is also used to supply mixing or membrane scouring bubbles to the water. The mixing or scouring bubbles can be provided by a cyclic aeration or other gas supply system, which optionally provides gas at a variable pressure to the membranes in parallel or series with an aerator. Condensates can be removed from the membranes, and exhaust gasses from the membranes can be monitored, optionally through one or more dedicated pipes.
Automated Methods and Systems for Optimized Zeta Potential Chemical Dosing in Water Treatment Systems
The disclosure provides automated methods and systems for optimized dosing of chemicals, such as coagulants, acids, and/or bases, in water treatment processes. The methods and systems of the disclosure can provide a coagulant dosing regimen that mitigates turbidity and organic contaminant content while maintaining effective floc precipitation, agglomeration, and settling without significant human intervention.
FLOATING APPARATUS FOR MEMBRANE BIOFILM REACTOR AND PROCESS FOR WATER TREATMENT

Plant for the controlled production of monochloramine for sanitizing fluids
A plant and relative controlled production method of monochloramine; inside a reactor, at least a means or group creates and/or maintains a turbulent regime during the production reaction of monochloramine; at the end, at least a post-dosing means performs a further dosage of reagent directly in the concentrated solution of monochloramine produced directly in reactor or on the transfer piping or directly into the storage tank.
Wastewater treatment apparatus to achieve class B biosolids using chlorine dioxide
Disclosed herein are systems and processes for treating a Waste Stream comprising biosolids, the Waste Stream provided at varying flow rates and solids concentrations so as to achieve an SOUR of 1.5 mg O.sub.2/g/hr or less and an ORP of at least +300 mV. The system includes a biosolids manipulation device to adjust the volume of suspended solids as a percent of the total volume of the Waste Stream to five (5) percent or less; a chemical oxidant feed device to dose the Waste Stream with an oxidant such as chlorine dioxide, ozone, or similar oxidant, and a treatment vessel associated with said chemical oxidant feed device through which said Waste Stream flows, wherein said chemical oxidant feed device and said treatment device are configured so as to achieve a dose rate between 25 and 200 parts per million of the Waste Stream and substantially complete mixing of the oxidant within 30 seconds of dose delivery in the treatment vessel.
Waste Liquid Treatment System and Method
A wastewater treatment system includes a reservoir, a parameter-adjusting subsystem, and a release mechanism. The reservoir is configured to receive waste liquid from a production system and to hold liquid under treatment including the waste liquid. The parameter-adjusting subsystem is configured to measure a parameter of the liquid under treatment and to treat the liquid under treatment to adjust the parameter. The release mechanism is configured to release the liquid under treatment from the reservoir under control of the parameter-adjusting subsystem. A process of treating waste liquid includes receiving waste liquid from a production system into a reservoir, holding liquid under treatment including the received waste liquid in the reservoir, measuring a parameter of the liquid under treatment, treating the liquid under treatment to adjust the measured parameter, and releasing the liquid under treatment from the reservoir after treating the liquid under treatment.
