Water treatment for removing oxidation agents
A water treatment apparatus, system and method including introducing an aqueous fluid into a chamber, the aqueous fluid having a pH below 7 and having an oxidizing agent. Contacting, within the chamber, the aqueous fluid with a corrodible sacrificial material which oxidizes in the presence of the oxidizing agent also reducing the oxidizing agent. Thereafter, adjusting, subsequent contacting the corroding particulate, the pH of the aqueous fluid to above 7.
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. The transfer assembly may also connect a holding facility, which may be dimensioned and structured to transfer mature marine life, possibly on an on-demand basis, to the harvesting facility.

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.
PROCESS FOR TREATMENT OF SEWAGE SLUDGE AND PRODUCT OF SAME
A process of treating sewage sludge and the formation of a granular product thereof, wherein said process comprises utilizing a urea-formaldehyde resin to treat a sludge product from thermal hydrolysis processes (THPs) to create an end product for agricultural and other uses. The process utilizes a high intensity mixing and chopping reactor, which combines the sludge with a resin and utilizes sulfuric or other mineral acid to polymerize the resin. The resultant product is subsequently dried and sized through a screening process. The process results in an end product that is a granular fertilizer that is substantially dehydrated and a substantial portion of the nutrients having low solubility and slow release rates. This reduces or eliminates the loss of plant nutrients to water runoff effects. The novel process results in a product that is a low-odor, enhanced fertilizer useful for the processing and utilization of sewage sludge for agricultural and other purposes.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TREATING SPENT CAUSTIC EFFLUENT USING CHLORINE DIOXIDE SOLUTION
The present invention generally relates to a system and method for treating spent caustic effluent using chlorine dioxide solution. The system comprises a spent caustic storage tank for receiving spent caustic obtained from refinery operations; an acid storage container connected to the spent caustic storage tank for neutralizing free alkali content with a mineral acid to eliminate unwanted chemical reactions associated with free caustic present in spent caustic with ClO.sub.2; a heat exchanger unit engaged for reducing temperature of spent caustic to 35-45° C. from high temperature raised due to heat of neutralisation at least one of a cavitation (mixing) chamber or venturi mixing equipment mechanically connected downstream of the heat exchanger unit for adding CIO solution to the spent caustic solution to oxidize sulphide/thiols content for complete reduction of sulphide/mercaptane and reduction of 80-90% of COD.
AUTOMATIC SEWAGE REGULATION SYSTEM AND REGULATING METHOD THEREOF
An automatic sewage regulation system and a regulating method are provided. The automatic sewage regulation system is disposed between preset sewage sources and a preset sewage treatment apparatus and includes an equalization tank and an automatic sewage regulating device. The automatic sewage regulating device includes sensing modules for sensing and transmitting water quality sensing values of sewage in the preset sewage sources to a control module which outputs regulating signals to water flow regulators, so that the water flow regulators can regulate flowing volumes of the sewage of the preset sewage sources according to the regulating signal, to keep a water quality sensing value of the sewage in the equalization tank within a preset range, thereby preventing the equalization tank from converging sewage having excessively-high or excessively-low water quality sensing value. As a result, burden of a preset sewage treatment apparatus can be reduced.
