A method and system for wastewater treatment based on dissolved oxygen control by a fuzzy neural network, the method for wastewater treatment comprising the following steps: (1) measuring art inlet water flow rate, an ORP value in an anaerobic tank, a DO value in an aerobic tank, an inlet water COD value, and an actual outlet water COD value; (2) collecting the measured sample data and sending them via a computer to a COD fuzzy neural network predictive model, so as to establish an outlet water COD predicted value, (3) comparing the outlet COD predicted value with the outlet water COD set value, so as to obtain an error and an error change rate, and using them as two input variables to adjust a suitable dissolved oxygen concentration. Accordingly, the on-line prediction and real-time control of dissolved oxygen wastewater treatment are achieved. The accurate control of dissolved oxygen concentration by the present method for wastewater treatment can achieve a saving in energy consumption while ensuring stable running of the sewage treatment system, and the outlet water quality meets the national emission standards.

A scale suppression apparatus capable of suppressing in a low-priced manner the generation of silica-based scale and calcium-based scale in the influent water, a geothermal power generation system using the same, and a scale suppression method are provided. The apparatus includes a first addition unit configured to add liquid containing a chelating agent and an alkaline agent to influent water flowing through a pipe arrangement to make the influent water higher than pH 7, a second addition unit configured to add an acid substance to the influent water to make the influent water lower than pH 7, and a controller configured to alternatively switch between the operation of the first addition unit and the operation of the second addition unit. The controller controls the switching of the first addition unit and the second addition unit based on the signals output from a scale detection unit and a pH meter.

There is set out highly efficient processes for the production of alkaline spring waters. The processes are designed to minimize the use of the additive alkaline formulations used to create the alkalinity in the spring waters and the use of a maximum amount of non-purified spring water in the formulation of the final alkaline spring water product. This is accomplished by dividing the input spring water into at least two portions. One portion undergoes a purification process and the other is not purified. Each portion is tested in increments for the amount of alkaline formulation needed to attain a pH of at least about 10 and designated potassium ion and sodium ion contents. From the testing the amount of the purified spring water and the amount of non-purified spring water needed to be combined to yield a pH of at least about 10 and the designated potassium ion and the sodium ion contents is calculated. It is desired to use a minimum of alkaline formulation to achieve the set Ph and potassium and sodium ion concentration. In this way the more costly components of the alkaline formulation and the purified spring water can be minimized, but yet the taste and stability maintained over a period of time. The processes apply to waters from a single spring and from a plurality of springs.

Method and system for treating wastewater includes treating sludge with ozone in a plug-flow type reactor to cause lysis of biosolids in the sludge. The ozonated sludge may be provided to an anaerobic or anoxic section of the wastewater treatment system to aid the denitrification processes occurring in the anaerobic or anoxic section of the wastewater treatment system or to other sections of the wastewater treatment system such as a fermenter, an aerobic digester, or an anaerobic digester.

A combined device for sewage deep treatment integrally consists of an open box body (1) divided into multiple water treatment units (29) by a partition wall (27). Each water treatment unit (29) is divided into multiple grids by a partition wall (27′). The lower part of the box body (1) is provided with a conical structure (30) having a discharging door (22) thereunder. The partition wall (27) of the box body (1) has a water blocking belt (33) in the middle thereof, and the box body (1) has rails (31) mounted on two sides of the top thereof, rails (31) having an electric operating platform (2) mounted thereon. The box body (1) is filled with water processing granular carbon (32). Also disclosed is a sewage treatment method employing the combined sewage deep-treatment device. With the method, it is convenient to replace activated carbon, thereby solving the problem that it is difficult for the sewage treatment system to operate continuously and stably when replacing the activated carbon in traditional activated carbon filter.
