A positive polymer fecal sludge treatment apparatus comprising a trash separator, one end of which is connected with a sludge inlet, and the other end of which is connected with a twin-rotor vacuum water pump. A high-pressure transparent tube is disposed and connected, by a knife valve, between the trash separator and the twin-rotor vacuum water pump. One end of the knife valve is connected with a first material box and a second material box. A first chemical box and a second chemical box are disposed under the first material box and the second material box, and each of the first material box and the second material box is connected with the first chemical box and the second chemical box. The first and second material boxes have a larger volume than a conventional one and thus can store more material and also can perform chemical stirring reaction directly.

An apparatus for removing a layer of sediment which has settled on the bottom of a large water body that includes a structural frame configured to contain a bottom water flow and avoid a re-suspension of sediment outside the vicinity of the structural frame. The structural frame has a control zone configured for containing liquid and suspended particles dispersed during removal of bottom sediment in a suctioning area that is at least about 3 square feet. A sediment removing vacuum unit is operably associated with the structural frame to conduct a suctioned bottom water flow.

A device for sewage treatment comprises a treatment tank, a power and electric control unit, a gas supply and tail gas recovery unit and a circular reaction treatment unit; the treatment tank is provided with a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, a gas intake port and a tail gas exhaust port; the gas supply and tail gas recovery unit is communicated with the treatment tank through the gas intake port; the tail gas exhaust port is communicated with the gas supply and tail gas recovery unit; the circular reaction treatment unit comprises an external circulating device and a reaction treatment element arranged inside the treatment tank.

A filtering apparatus for a fluid intake of a nuclear power generation facility comprise primary and secondary frames. The primary frame defines an enclosed volume having least one inlet opening, and at least one outlet opening in fluid communication with the fluid intake. A primary filter is supported on the primary frame and covers the inlet opening such that fluid passes into the enclosed volume through the primary filter. The secondary frame is located within the volume enclosed by the primary frame. A secondary filter is supported on the secondary frame and defines an enclosed flow passage in communication with the outlet opening, such that fluid passes into the at least one outlet opening through the secondary filter and the enclosed flow passage.

Implementations of the present disclosure solve one or more of the foregoing or other problems in the art with methods for the collection and destruction of salt-coated plastic waste. In particular, one or more implementation(s) can include an insulated chamber comprised of a base containing a heat source and an air source, a bed of a fluidizable media supported above the base, a support tray suspended in the insulated chamber above the fluidizable media, and a humidification compartment located outside of and connected to the insulated chamber to humidify the salt-coated waste before it enters the insulated chamber. Systems and methods of the present disclosure can also include a salt wash station to impart waste with a highly concentrated salt solution to prime the waste for enhanced reaction time once it enters the insulated chamber. Accordingly, a waste destruction system is disclosed.

A solids separator for use in a composting system for separating solid waste from liquid waste in a stream of waste includes a housing defining a waste inlet for receiving the stream of waste, a liquids outlet for passing the liquid waste, and a solids outlet for passing the solid waste. A separator belt is positioned within the housing and extending between the liquids outlet and the solids outlet, the separator belt defining a plurality of apertures through which the liquid waste passes through the separator belt and into the liquids outlet. A drive cylinder is rotatably mounted within the housing for selectively rotating the separator belt such that a top surface of the belt is moved toward the solids outlet along with the solid waste that is extracted from the stream of waste.

A method of filtering fluid for injection into an injection well comprises detecting a fluid pressure in a conduit upstream of an actuator valve, verifying that the fluid pressure is within an operating pressure range, opening an actuator valve based on the verifying, receiving a fluid having suspended solids within a filter assembly in response to opening the actuator valve, actuating a pump in fluid communication with the filter assembly based on receiving the fluid within the filter assembly, and separating at least a portion of the suspended solids in the fluid within the filter assembly.

A method and a system for comminuting and cleaning waste plastic are described. For this purpose, waste plastic is comminuted and pre-washed in a wet mill and then cleaned in a washing system. The resulting wastewater is subjected to mechanical filtration and flotation and then temporarily stored as circulating water. Based on this, some of the circulating water is returned to the wet mill as first process water and some of the circulating water is returned to the washing system as second process water. In this way, the first and second portions of the circulating water may be specifically adapted to the respective water requirements of the wet mill and the washing system as well as to the required water qualities, if necessary with selective post-cleaning of the second portion of the circulating water. As a result, the fresh water requirement for the process described may be minimized.

A system for reducing an amount of volatile organic compounds which includes: a water-storage tank having a tank containing water, a roof positioned over the tank, and a headspace region formed between the roof and a surface of the water contained in the tank; an air exchange system positioned at least partially in the headspace region that is configured to exchange air exterior to the tank with air inside the tank; and a water conveyance device located at least partially in the water of the water-storage tank and which is configured to convey water in a manner that produces a surface flow velocity. A method reducing an amount of volatile organic compounds is also included.

A logic that is used in water bar screen assemblies to control the flow of water through the assembly and to methods.
