An apparatus and method for trapping particles disposed in a fluid. The apparatus may comprise one or more cavities disposed axially along a length of a tubular housing, one or more connecting components disposed at opposing ends of the housing, and may optionally comprise a check valve system. Alternate embodiments are provided for forming each of the one or more cavities, which may comprise a combination of a cavity frame and cavity surface. The method may comprise flowing a fluid into a first end of a particle trap apparatus at a rate of fluid flow, directing the fluid flow at least partially through one or more cavity sub-assemblies disposed in the particle trap apparatus, collecting the particulate matter in one or more of the cavity sub-assemblies when the rate of fluid flow may slow or become suspended, and clearing collected particles from the one or more cavity sub-assemblies upon restoration of fluid flow in a primary direction of travel.

Provided is a liquid processing apparatus and a liquid processing method for reducing a waste amount of a high specific gravity liquid. The liquid processing apparatus includes: a supply pump; a bubble tank including an inflow port, an overflow port, and a return port; a microbubble generator disposed outside the bubble tank; a recovery tank having a recovery port to recover the processing liquid overflown from a first liquid level to the tank; a separation tank including a settling tank connected to the overflow port, and a floating tank connected to the settling tank at a lower portion, and an ejector having a inlet port connected to the supply pump, a suction port connected the suction body, and a discharge port connected to the return port.

A lamella for a clarifier formed by a rectangular or square plate, the upper edge and the lower edge of which run parallel to a transverse direction, the two remaining edges running parallel to a longitudinal direction, the plate being provided with longitudinal folds curved in the longitudinal direction and running from the upper edge to the lower thereof; the plate being curved longitudinally, so that the area closer to the lower edge of the plate is less inclined relative to the horizontal than the area closer to the upper edge.

A neutralization/water separation tank for an esterified product including: a neutralization part in which a crude product mixture containing alcohol and an ester compound, a neutralizing agent, and water are put to produce a neutralized mixture; a water separation part which divides the neutralized mixture into a floating layer and an aqueous layer; a first partition wall which extends upward from a bottom surface to provide an upper passage and by which the neutralization part and the water separation part are partitioned; and a second partition wall which extends downward from a ceiling to provide a lower passage, wherein the water separation part includes: a first water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the neutralization part through the upper passage; and a second water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the first water separation part through the lower passage, wherein the first water separation part and the second water separation part are partitioned by the second partition wall.

In one embodiment, a concentrically baffled reactor includes an outer housing that defines an interior space, an inlet through which material can be delivered into the interior space, an outlet through which material can be removed from the interior space, and multiple concentric baffles within the interior space that define multiple concentric reactor zones through which the material can sequentially flow to the outlet.

A device and a method for installing an aerobic three-phase separator without interruption of production. The device comprises an aeration tank, the top of the aeration tank is provided with a number of aerobic three-phase separators that are capable of aeration at the bottom and are provided with a gas barrier at a sludge outlet. Each of the aerobic three-phase separators comprises an overflow trough, and the bottom of the overflow trough is provided with a drain pipe leading to the outside of the bottom end of the aerobic three-phase separator. Each of the drain pipes is connected to one end of a water outlet hose, and the other end of each water outlet hose is connected to a water outlet manifold. One end of the water outlet manifold is a sealed end, and the other end is bent downward and leads to a water level tank.

A grease trap for separating waste from wastewater includes a tank having an outer wall, bottom and open top. An inlet invert in the tank receives incoming wastewater, and an outlet invert removes water from the tank. The tank has a cover on the open top, and the cover has a hatch. A barrier spans a diameter of the open top below the cover and has an opening vertically below the hatch. A divider divides the tank into an upper chamber and a lower chamber and has a hole for allowing FOG into the upper chamber from the lower chamber, the hole being colinearly aligned with the hatch and the opening in the barrier.

A lamella for a clarifier formed by a rectangular or square plate, the upper edge and the lower edge of which run parallel to a transverse direction, the two remaining edges running parallel to a longitudinal direction, the plate being provided with longitudinal folds curved in the longitudinal direction and running from the upper edge to the lower thereof; the plate being curved longitudinally, so that the area closer to the lower edge of the plate is less inclined relative to the horizontal than the area closer to the upper edge.

A sedimenting assembly for sedimenting debris contained in a processed waste liquid in a sedimentation tank includes a plurality of partition plates extending vertically across a direction in which the processed waste liquid flows and disposed at spaced intervals in the direction, thereby defining a zigzag channel through which the processed waste liquid flows horizontally. The zigzag channel ensures a time during which to sediment the debris against a time during which the processed waste liquid flows through the zigzag channel, allowing the debris to settle reliably.
