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.

A method and apparatus for removing specific contaminants from an aqueous solution in a recirculating tank or linear treatment system is described. An aqueous solution is pumped into a reaction chamber. Measurements from the aqueous solution are collected, including one or more of Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Total Ammonia Nitrogen, pH, bacteria in the tank, and Oxidation Reduction Potential. In response to the measurements collected, one or more of pump speed, injection of pH precursors prior to the reaction chamber, reaction chamber electrode voltage, current, infusion rate of the chlorine, and contact time of the aqueous solution with the chlorine, are adjusted.

The disclosed lagoon biological treatment system helps existing wastewater treatment facilities meet stricter discharge permits mandated by the EPA utilizing a facility's existing wastewater treatment infrastructure. Influent is pumped into and processed in an aerated or non-aerated lagoon system, thus initially treating the wastewater to reduce BODS (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) to approximately 20-30 mg/L. Then the wastewater is transferred to and processed in a nitrification reactor, where sufficient nitrifying bacteria is present to reduce nitrogen levels to regulation-acceptable levels without needing to regulate temperature of the water in the nitrification reactor. Wastewater may also be further processed in a denitrifying reactor if necessary to meet local requirement. Post-nitrification polishing of the wastewater is foregone.

A filter system and filter suitable for water treatment includes a filter having a housing with a water inlet and an outlet, the housing defining a filtration chamber therein. The filtration chamber has filter media therein having a plurality of at least partially porous filtration beads and a pump for pumping water to the inlet. Such a filtration system enables high nutrient removal thus minimising the food source for algae.

A method for predicting operation effectiveness of a decentralized sewage treatment facility by using a support vector machine, comprising: simultaneously collecting an influent conductivity and an effluent conductivity, and recording operation effectiveness of the decentralized sewage treatment facility; training a training set by using the support vector machine, with the influent conductivity and effluent conductivity as input and the operation effectiveness of decentralized sewage treatment facilities as output, so as to construct a prediction model for the operation effectiveness of decentralized sewage treatment facilities; and collecting the influent conductivity and effluent conductivity of the treatment facilities to be predicted, and inputting them into the prediction model to obtain a predictive result. The method is not only highly accurate, but fast and inexpensive.

The present disclosure provides a packed rotating biological contactor and a method for ammonia nitrogen conversion based on the packed rotating biological contactor. The packing frame of the packed rotating biological contactor provided in the present disclosure is formed by engaging two meshed disks, the hollow structure thus formed can be filled with packings, increasing the tilling amount of the packings; the selection of packing types can improve the film-forming rate of microorganism and shows a good adsoiption effect on the microorganism, so that the biofilm formed on the surface of packings can resist the impact of water flow and avoid shedding. The selection of disk meshes and packing types also increases the specific surthce area of the packed rotating biological contactor, which can improve the acclimation efficiency of microorganisms and enable the packed rotating biological contactor to carry more microorganisms, thus forming biofilms with excellent performance.

A wastewater treatment system and a wastewater treatment process, fluidly combining a one or more SBR (sequencing batch reactor) module/s, in which nitrification and denitrification of the wastewater are performed in sequences and one or more MBR (membrane bioreactor) module/s.

The invention relates to a method for treating organic waste, in particular to a method for treating sludge from wastewater treatment plants, in order to produce power and/or hygienized organic matter, including a first step of mesophilic or thermophilic digestion (13) of at least one fraction of a stream of organic waste, and comprising the following steps: dehydrating (15) all of the digested and non-digested waste; aerated thermal hydrolysis (16) of the dehydrated waste, including an injection of an oxidizing agent in a quantity lower than the stoichiometric quantity for oxidizing organic matter, and setting to the required temperature by a heating means; and a second mesophilic or thermophilic digestion (17) of the stream of hydrolyzed waste.

Methods and systems for controlling nitrous oxide production in a wastewater treatment facility in which wastewater is treated with microbes in a biological reactor. Nitrous oxide production can be controlled by determining an amount of two or more nutrients in the biological reactor, calculating a value that represents a comparison of the values, comparing the calculated value to a threshold value, and optionally taking a corrective action to reduce nitrous oxide production based on the comparison. In one aspect, nitrous oxide production can be controlled by determining an amount of ammonium in the biological reactor, determining an amount of a nitrogen compound that can include nitrite, nitrate, and/or hydroxylamine, calculating a value that compares the amount of ammonium to the amount of the nitrogen compound, and taking a corrective action that changes a system parameter to reduce the nitrous oxide production if the calculated value surpasses a threshold limit.

A water treatment apparatus (1), the apparatus (1) comprises a fluid inlet (2), a first MBBR (4) and a second MBBR (5) and a fluid outlet (3), and a controller (C1), wherein the first MBBR (4) and second MBBR (5) are connected in series such that water to be treated flows from the inlet (2) through the first MBBR (4) to the second MBBR (5) and thence to the outlet (3) and wherein the controller or control means (C1) is operable to change the flow direction such that water to be treated flows from the inlet (2) to the second MBBR (5) then to the first MBBR (4) and thence to the outlet (3).
