A system for dewatering a material comprising a slitter, wherein the slitter receives the material, separates the material into a plurality of clumps, and deposits the plurality of clumps of material substantially evenly on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is partially porous to allow water to pass through but preventing material from passing through. The conveyor belt is operable to convey the material from the slitter to a compression zone; the compression zone comprises at least one high pressure press. The compression plates engages the material positioned on the conveyor belt. At least one knife positioned proximate the at least one compression plate operable to remove material from the bottom surface of the at least one compression plate after a compression cycle; and at least one drain positioned under the conveyor belt to carry water removed from the material away from the conveyor belt.

Provided is a filtration system and process that enhances mineral removal from sludge through a novel recirculation and mixing apparatus. In one example, the system may include a filter configured to remove minerals from sludge, a pump configured to move the sludge towards the filter, a pre-filtering system configured to add an agent into the sludge prior to the sludge making contact with the filter, a drainage collection system including one ore more reservoirs configured to collect water drained during and/or after the filtering and feedback the drained water to the pump, and valving configured configured to mix the drained water with the sludge to generate a mixture which is moved by the pump towards the filter.

A system for treating wastewater comprising a coagulation-flocculation assembly having a raw wastewater inlet and a coagulated-flocculated wastewater outlet; and a slurry separator comprising an intake area configured for receiving wastewater slurry from the coagulated-flocculated wastewater outlet, a liquid outlet, a sludge outlet, and a filtration module configured to facilitate percolating of liquid therethrough and forming of a filter cake thereon. The slurry separator being configured to receive slurry at the intake area, separate the slurry to liquid and sludge by the filtration module, remove the liquid via the liquid outlet, and convey the sludge from the intake area to the sludge outlet. The system further comprises a level maintaining arrangement configured to maintain at least a minimal level of the filter cake.

Systems and methods for intensive recirculating aquaculture are provided herein. An example system includes water sourced from a first segment of a saline aquifer, a recirculating aquaculture system receiving the sourced water and producing discharge water, and a water discharge point located within a second segment of the saline aquifer disposed below the first segment of the saline aquifer.

An automatic constant-temperature dehumidification device, comprising at least two dehumidification heat pump assemblies having two refrigerant modules and an air module. The refrigerant module comprises a primary refrigerating module and a secondary refrigerating module, the primary refrigerating module and the secondary refrigerating module each comprising a condenser, an evaporator and a compressor. An air inlet pipe of the air module is connected to a hot side of a heat regenerator, the hot side of the heat regenerator is connected to the evaporators through ventilation pipes, the evaporators are connected to a cold side of the heat regenerator through ventilation pipes, and the cold side of the heat regenerator is connected to one of the condensers through a ventilation pipe.

A method of waste treatment includes treating partially-dewatered matrix with a first electron-beam radiation dose. The treated partially-dewatered matrix is transferred to a digester where the treated partially-dewatered matrix is subjected to anaerobic digestion. Biogas is recovered from the treated partially-dewatered matrix during the anaerobic digestion. The treated partially-dewatered matrix is dried and subjected to a second electron-beam radiation dose.

A system for transferring marine life within an aquaculture facility including a plurality of segregated storage facilities each containing water for marine life, maintained within a predetermined temperature range and supported at independent ground levels. The storage facilities are successively disposed and structured to contain marine life at different stages of growth. A transfer assembly includes a path of fluid flow interconnecting successive ones of said plurality of storage facilities in fluid communication with one another, wherein at least a majority of a length of said path of fluid flow is disposed beneath the independent ground levels at a predetermined depth, which is sufficient to facilitate maintenance of the path of fluid flow within the predetermined temperature range, via geothermal cooling.
