The present invention relates to an anaerobic formation of granules for waste water treatment. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use and development of microbial consortia for stimulation of anaerobic digestion of organic matter and to a method for enhancing the granulation rate of suspended anaerobic sludge using carbohydrate rich industrial effluent.

The present invention relates to a method of purifying lake water using nano and micro bubbles, and more specifically, relates to a method of purifying lake water using nano and micro bubble comprising the steps of: contacting a first microbial fermentation broth to the green algae-generating treatment water area or the malodor-generating treatment water area by spraying means so that the green algae components and the malodorous components are decomposed; treating with nano bubbles in which nano bubbles generated by a nano-micro bubble generator selectively generating nano bubbles and micro bubbles are introduced into the lower portion of the treatment water area; and treating with micro bubbles mixed with microorganisms in which micro bubbles mixed with a second microbial fermentation broth are introduced into the lower portion of the treatment water area from a mixer in which micro bubbles generated by the nano-micro bubble generator and the second microbial fermentation broth supplied from a microbial injection unit are mixed.

The invention discloses an automatic sewage treatment system and a preparation method of biological carrier, comprising an automatic sewage treatment device and a biological carrier, wherein the automatic sewage treatment device comprises a housing; one side of the housing is provided with a sewage inlet, and the other side thereof is provided with a sewage outlet; the sewage inlet is installed on one side of a No. 1 biochemical pool; one side of the No. 1 biochemical pool is connected to a No. 2 biochemical pool through a connecting pipe; the other side of the No. 2 biochemical pool is connected to a No. 3 biochemical pool through the connecting pipe. The preparation method of biological carrier includes material selection, preservation, physical treatment, and cultivation.

This invention relates to apparatus, methods and applications for treating wastewater, and more particularly to a technique of biological processes that integrates lowering the levels of effluent pollutants and reducing accumulated sludge volume from wastewater. This invention further relates to apparatus and methods for using a blend of non-pathogenic microbes, spores, unicellular organisms, and enzymes on-site at a wastewater treatment facility to rapidly, ecologically, and cost-effectively solve numerous contaminant issues common in wastewater.

A method for treating wastewater or sludge comprises the steps of adding the wastewater or sludge to a reactor and mixing the wastewater or sludge with a stream to thereby decrease a ratio of alkalinity to ammonium in the reactor, the reactor containing ammonium oxidising bacteria that oxidise ammonium to produce nitrite and decrease pH.

A method of generating electricity in a body of water includes providing a colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria, a colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, and a colony of denitrifying bacteria submerged in the body of water. The colony of sulfur-reducing bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of sulfates present in the body of water to hydrogen sulfide. The colony of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can be used to convert the hydrogen sulfide to sulfuric acid, which can react with manganese to produce hydrogen gas. The colony of denitrifying bacteria can be used to convert at least a portion of nitrogen oxides in the body of water to nitrogen gas, which can be bubbled through a portion of water from the body of water to remove dissolved oxygen gas. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas can be combined in a fuel cell generator to generate electricity.

A biological filler includes an embedding agent and an embedded complex. The embedded complex includes a scallop shell powder, 1,5-dihydroxyanthraquinone, and Thiobacillus denitrificans. The embedding agent includes a poly(vinyl alcohol)-sodium alginate blend membrane and a crosslinked composite membrane. The embedded complex is embedded by the embedded agent.

Wastewater containing organic matter may be treated using a multi-zone apparatus. In a first zone, organic matter in the wastewater may, among other things, be converted to at least volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and, thereafter, a portion of the treated wastewater may flow to a second zone that may, among other things, convert the VFAs to methane.

Disclosed a device for preventing and controlling pollutants in the reuse of reclaimed water in agricultural activity areas with extreme water shortage, including A.sup.2/O tank (1), nano-aeration tank (2) and quick soil infiltration device (3) connected in sequence. A.sup.2/O tank (1) is fed with wastewater to be treated, which is treated sequentially in anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic environment, thereafter the supernatant is transported into nano-aeration tank (2). The supernatant treated by nano-aeration tank (2) is transported into quick soil infiltration device (3), and is allowed to flow through one or more layers of fillers laid in quick soil infiltration device (3) to degrade or remove pollutants.

An anaerobic digestion system may include a material grinding/pulping portion, a hydrolysis portion arranged downstream of the grinding portion, a multiple chamber anaerobic reactor arranged downstream from the hydrolysis portion and including a gas collection and reintroduction system, a collection system for collecting digestate and gas from the anaerobic reactor.
