System and method for treating wastewater and resulting sludge

A wastewater treatment process that produces primary sludge and biological sludge. The system and process hydrolyzes the biological sludge in a hydrolysis reactor. The primary sludge is directed to a pasteurization unit and pasteurized. Thereafter, the hydrolyzed biological sludge and the pasteurized primary sludge are directed to an anaerobic digester where the combined sludges are subjected to anaerobic digestion.

Wastewater treatment system
09758400 · 2017-09-12 · ·

A dual tank wastewater treatment system for performing an extended aeration process to provide a natural, biological breakdown of the organic matter in wastewater using, for example, but not limited to, a continuously operating air pump and diffuser bar system for aeration purposes and a flexible media filter. The air pump used is stronger than conventional air pumps and the diffuser bar is designed to provide more efficient oxygen transfer than conventional diffuser systems by mixing air against the system flow to provide better mixing and longer retention time in the aeration process. The flexible media filter provides a final filtration and polishing of the effluent before it passes through a flow equalization apparatus and exits the system.

A water injection process plant includes a catalytic deoxygenation unit located subsea that makes use of a reducing agent sent from topsides in liquid form. The catalyst is preferably a palladium catalyst or its equivalent. The reducing agent is an oxygen scavenger such as but not limited to hydrazine, carbohydrazide, sodium erythorbate, methyl ethyl ketoxime (“MEKO”), hydroquinone, diethylhydroxylamine (“DEHA”), formic acid (methanoic acid). A chemical umbilical can be used to deliver the reducing agent to a mixer located upstream of the deoxygenation unit, where the agent is mixed with seawater containing oxygen.
