The present invention provides a device and method for sulphur cycle-based advanced denitrification of wastewater coupling autotrophic denitrification and heterotrophic denitrification, and belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment. The unit generating hydrogen sulfide during the wastewater treatment process adopts a lye to absorb hydrogen sulfide; the absorbed sulfide is introduced into an anoxic tank that removes nitrate nitrogen through sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification; and the remaining organic matters in the anaerobic methane-producing reaction tank are subjected to heterotrophic denitrification in the anoxic tank, and the anoxic unit combines the sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification with the heterotrophic denitrification of organic matters. The coupling of sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification and heterotrophic denitrification strengthens the removal of nitrate nitrogen. The biogas desulfurization process system only absorbs hydrogen sulfide and uses the absorbed sulfide in an anoxic system to realize the recovery and utilization of sulfur.

In addition, any given stage of reactor processing may be comprised of a plurality of reactors that are configured to operate in parallel with each other.

There is disclosed a system and process for the anaerobic and aerobic treatment of landfill wastewater, including landfill condensate, landfill leachate and mixtures thereof.

An induced sludge bed anaerobic reactor system that includes at least two stages of bioreactor processing, a first-stage feeding system, a second-stage feeding system, a pH balancing system, an effluent recirculation system, a gas management system, at least one nitrogen reduction system, and a controller. In addition, the nitrogen reduction system(s) if configured for reducing an amount of one or more nitrogen compounds in a substrate mixture sufficient to procedure a non-toxic substrate mixture with respect to anaerobic digestion of the non-toxic substrate by the induced sludge bed anaerobic reactor system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a system and method using a subterranean biological reactor. Embodiments may include a pre-reactor storage unit configured to receive a feedstock including a slurry of biologically derived material and at least one pump configured to pump the effluent from the pre-reactor storage unit. The system may include at least one wellbore containing a subterranean biological reactor configured to receive the effluent from the pre-reactor storage unit. At least a portion of the subterranean biological reactor may be configured to perform anaerobic digestion upon the effluent to generate a biogas.

The embodiments herein disclose a method and apparatus for mixing sludge retained in a digester. A jet nozzle assembly for mixing contents of a vessel is used. The jet nozzle assembly having a central outlet pipe terminating at a jet nozzle, a low pressure nozzle assembly disposed concentrically about the central outlet pipe, the low pressure low pressure nozzle having a plurality of openings disposed circumferentially about the low pressure nozzle assembly. The plurality of openings are an axial distance from the outlet jet nozzle.

A mixer support assembly for use in an integrated cover and mixer apparatus and anaerobic digester system incorporating same provided. The digester system includes a tank with an integrated cover and mixer apparatus which provides a completely or substantially gas tight enclosure for the collection of biogas. The integrated cover and mixer apparatus includes a cover, a mixer, and a mixer support assembly for supporting the mixer. The mixer support assembly includes a float ring and a support body that is selectively removable from the float ring. The support body is attached to the float ring by way of a clamping arrangement.

A manufacturing process for a one piece tank that involves three steps results in a consistently watertight and structurally stronger unit than previous tanks. The three steps comprise a process for producing the body of the tank, a process for producing a preliminary lid, and a process for producing the final tank. An important step in the process for producing the body of the tank is extending reinforcing steel (rebar) a distance above the concrete walls of the tank. After the preliminary lid is placed into a groove of the tank, the rebar is bent over the lid and a water stop is applied between the walls of the tank and the preliminary lid. The water stop can be any of several forms. In one form, the water stop is in the form of butyl or rubber strip which projects from the walls of the tank above the walls with the rebar. In an alternate form, the water stop is in the form of a gasket of plastic or other suitable material inserted in a groove at the top of the tank. Once the preliminary lid is in place and the rebar bent over the preliminary lid, reinforcing steel (rebar) is bent over the preliminary lid and secured to proper locations. Then concrete is poured to the top and above the sidewalls of the tank until completely full. The resulting cured structure is a one piece water tight tank with an integral water stop.

A wastewater treatment apparatus for remediation of a wastewater treatment system has a septic tank with a lower sludge layer and an upper liquid effluent layer. The apparatus is comprised of a brush that includes a brush arm having a first end, a second end, and bristles disposed on the brush arm between the first end and the second end. The brush is configured to be positioned within the liquid effluent layer in the septic tank in a vertical orientation such that the second end is disposed below the first end.
