The invention discloses a method and a device for treating cyanobacteria in a water area based on the principle of biological competition, the method comprising: finding an area where cyanobacteria most easily accumulate, i.e. a concave bank of a water area, and setting up an algae interception net around the area; quickly and largely clearing the cyanobacteria in the area by means of manual or mechanical catching; planting emerged plants on the shoreline of the water area to fundamentally improve water quality; and additionally, densely arranging treatment tanks in a larger water area to kill the cyanobacteria gradually, and collecting dead cyanobacteria to prevent them from polluting the water area subsequently; and collecting and treating the tanks regularly for recycling.

An integrated equipment and treatment method for synchronous ecological treatment of domestic sewage and sludge, the equipment includes a one-piece box-shaped main body divided into several tank compartments which includes an anaerobic tank, a sludge reduction and denitrification tank, an aerobic tank, a sedimentation tank, and a disinfection tank, an inlet pipe for sewage and sludge entrance and an outlet pipe for exit of effluent after treatment. The sludge reduction and denitrification tank is equipped with variable microporous aeration pipes, worm fillers and multi-functional water quality online detectors. The aerobic tank is equipped with aeration pipeline components and DO online detectors. The sewage and sludge are guided to passing through the different tank compartments in order for simultaneous sewage treatment and sludge reduction. The removal rate of total nitrogen is as high as 85%, and the simultaneous reduction effect of sludge can reach more than 60%.

A stormwater filter includes a receptacle having an open top into which stormwater is permitted to enter the receptacle and flow downwardly therein. A hydroponic garden section having a media bed is supported within the receptacle and in an elevated condition above the bottom of the receptacle so that a water sump compartment is disposed between the hydroponic garden section and the bottom of the receptacle. In addition, a discharge opening is defined within a sidewall of the receptacle in the water sump compartment and adjacent the hydroponic garden section, and a post-filtration flow control orifice is associated with the discharge opening for controlling the filtration flow through the media bed. In addition, a wick is associated with the media bed for drawing water upwardly from the water sump compartment for use by plants growing within the media bed.

A subsurface flow constructed wetland (SFCW) includes a sand layer having a ventilation property of 90 mL/(cm.Math.s) and a permeation rate of less than 0.3 kg/m.sup.2/h under a two-meter-high pressure head, a filter layer disposed on the sand layer, and a gabion module disposed on the filter layer. The filter layer includes fine sand with a particle size of 0.25-0.35 cm. The gabion module includes a gabion box including a plant layer and a filler layer, and the filler layer is disposed on the plant layer.

A fluid management system including an inlet configured to receive pre-processed fluid is provided. The system includes a filtering apparatus configured to remove contaminants from the pre-processed fluid. The filtering apparatus includes a plate having a first opening. A first manifold pipe is disposed on the plate and includes one or more perforations and a second opening at least partially aligned with the first opening. A second manifold pipe is disposed on the plate and includes one or more perforations. Filter media is disposed between the first manifold pipe and the second manifold pipe and is configured to separate the contaminants from the pre-processed fluid. The system also includes an outlet coupled to the second manifold pipe to receive processed fluid from the filtering apparatus.

A system for reducing contaminants in body of water is shown and described. The system has a first land mass located within a body of water. A sediment trap, located on the floor of the body of water, is configured to collect sediment. Enclosed within the first land mass is a tussock mass area, surrounding a central area, and configured for collecting sediment and building a second land mass. The central area of the system is configured for removing contaminants from sediment. Sediment is moved from the sediment trap to the central area by a first ingress conduit and a pumping system. Filtered water migrates from the central area to outside the first land mass via an egress conduit; contaminated sediment is sequestered in the central area enclosed by the tussock mass area.

A method of producing an ultraporous mesostructured nanoparticle suitable for uptake by a plant and with increased affinity to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances includes modifying the ultraporous mesostructured nanoparticle with 2-[methoxy(polyethyleneoxy).sub.9-12propyl]trimethyoxysilane, chlorotrimethylsilane, (a-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane or N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine.

A system for controlling the amount of a liquid carbon source released to a constructed wetland, includes: a carbon source pool, a carbon source pipe, a peristaltic pump, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a computer, a first flow meter, a first chemical oxygen demand (COD) sensor, a first total nitrogen (TN) sensor, a second TN sensor, a second COD sensor, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. The first flow meter, the first COD sensor, and the TN sensor are disposed on the inlet pipe; the second COD sensor and the second TN sensor are disposed on the outlet pipe; the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the constructed wetland; the carbon source pipe is connected to the carbon source pool via the peristaltic pump; the computer, the peristaltic pump, the first flow meter, and all sensors are connected to the PLC controller.
