The liquid treatment apparatus includes: a liquid supply pump to supply a treatment liquid stored in a tank; a bubble tank into which the treatment liquid flows, and including a floating matter discharge port arranged near a liquid surface of the treatment liquid, and to discharge a floating matter floated on the treatment liquid; a microbubble generator arranged outside the bubble tank, and to generate microbubbles by mixing air into the treatment liquid supplied from the liquid supply pump; a separation tank connected the bubble tank at a lower portion of the bubble tank; and a circulation pipe configured to return the treatment liquid overflown from the liquid surface in the separation tank to the tank.

Described herein are methods for transporting and/or harvesting gas from bubbles, as well as associated articles and systems. In some embodiments, transporting and/or harvesting the gas from the bubbles can reduce or prevent the amount of foam that is present within a system. According to certain embodiments, a conduit comprising a porous wall portion can be at least partially submerged into a foam and/or a bubble-containing liquid. The porous wall portion of the conduit can be configured and/or arranged, according to certain embodiments, such that the porous wall portion provides a fluidic pathway through which gas from the bubbles within the liquid may be channeled to a gaseous environment in the interior portion of the conduit. The gas may be transported, according to certain embodiments, along the interior portion of the conduit into an external gaseous environment and/or harvested from the interior portion of the conduit.

A method of subsiding foam undesirably accumulating on a liquid-surface plane of an associated industrial-process liquid includes designating a foam-depletion zone within which the foam is situated. A set of at least two fluid ejectors is arranged above and peripherally of foam within the foam-depletion zone, from each of which fluid ejectors a foam-subsiding fluid can be selectively ejected under pressure in a spray pattern representable by a spray vector. Each fluid ejector is oriented such that the spray vector associated therewith has a non-zero vertical component of spatial extension directed downwardly toward the liquid-surface plane and a non-zero horizontal component of spatial extension directed (a) parallel to the liquid-surface plane and (b) inwardly toward the foam-depletion zone so that, collectively, spray patterns emanating from the fluid ejectors constrain the foam within the foam-depletion zone for sustained impingement and abatement by the spray patterns.

The present invention provides a method for suppressing a decrease in the concentration of an isothiazoline compound, wherein even if an addition concentration of the isothiazoline compound used as an antibacterial agent is low in a water system, the decrease in the concentration thereof can be suppressed so that the residual rate thereof after 24 hours can be raised. The method is carried out in a manner wherein to a water system, an isothiazoline compound is fed with an addition concentration of 0.2 mg/L or more and less than 1 mg/L, and a combined chlorine agent consisting of a chlorine stabilizer and a chlorine-based oxidant is added so as to maintain a concentration thereof at 0.3 mg/L as Cl.sub.2 or more and 6 mg/L as Cl.sub.2 or less therein.

Systems and processes for removing contaminants from water. Such a process includes flowing water into each of a plurality of vessels, wherein the water enters each of the vessels through at least one inlet port and exits each of the vessels through multiple outlet ports in a lower base wall of the vessel. The water then flows in fluidic parallel through a plurality of cartridges within each of the vessels. The water enters each of the cartridges through an upper inlet and is contained within the cartridge to exit through a lower outlet thereof that forms a watertight joint with one of the outlet ports of the vessel in which the cartridge is disposed. Each cartridge contains media formed of an ion exchange resin that removes the contaminants from the water.

A composition and method for dispersing sulfur, cleaning sulfur deposits, and minimizing foaming in an aqueous system is disclosed. The method may include adding a first sulfur dispersant to process water containing sulfur and dispersing the sulfur. The first sulfur dispersant may include a C.sub.5-C.sub.25 alkyl polyglycoside. A second sulfur dispersant may also be added to the process water. The second sulfur dispersant may include a polymer of acrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid.

The present invention relates to a device and a process for purification of grey water and recovery of surfactants and purified water. In particular the invention relates to in-home purification of grey water generated from laundry wash and/or rinse liquor and recovery of surfactants and purified water for water saving by re-use.

An intelligent identification method of sludge bulking based on type-2 fuzzy-neural-network belongs to the field of intelligent detection technology. The sludge volume index (SVI) in wastewater treatment plant is an important index to measure the sludge bulking of activated sludge process. However, poor production conditions and serious random interference in sewage treatment process are characterized by strong coupling, large time-varying and serious hysteresis, which makes the detection of SVI concentration of sludge volume index extremely difficult. At the same time, there are many types of sludge bulking faults, which are difficult to identify effectively. Due to the sludge volume index (SVI) is unable to online monitoring and the fault type of sludge bulking is difficult to determined, the invention develop soft-computing model based on type-2 fuzzy-neural-network to complete the real-time detection of sludge volume index (SVI). Combined with the target-related identification algorithm, the fault type of sludge bulking is determined. Results show that the intelligent identification method can quickly obtain the sludge volume index (SVI), accurate identification fault type of sludge bulking, improve the quality and ensure the safety operation of the wastewater treatment process.
