Rag seeding in wastewater treatment systems
11707704 · 2023-07-25 · ·

In a wastewater treatment plant a rag seeding tank is included in a process drain to collect hair and fibers which have passed through headworks of the plant. The hair and fibers tend to join together into large masses downstream of the headworks and can be damaging to process zones, particularly membrane zones. The rag seeding tank includes cartridges filled with surfaces that fibers and hair will attach to, so that hair/fiber rags grow in the seeding tank and are removed therefrom rather than causing problems downstream.

Electrochemical Treatment Methods

Methods of treating a fluid mixture include performing a first treatment on the mixture with electrochemically produced ions to separate an aqueous phase and a hydrophobic phase and performing a second electrochemical treatment on the separated aqueous phase to thereby remove aqueous contaminants from the aqueous phase wherein substantially laminar flow of fluid occurs between electrodes in the second electrochemical treatment.

Systems and methods for stormwater management

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.

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR MECHANICALLY REMOVING LIQUID FROM MATERIAL
20250230085 · 2025-07-17 · ·

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.

Method and system for treatment of an underwater surface and material removed from it
11542176 · 2023-01-03 · ·

The invention relates to a method and a system for treatment of an underwater surface (S) and material removed from it at a cleaning site. The underwater surface is cleaned by a brush device (1), by which effluent containing solid matter removed from the underwater surface in connection with cleaning is conveyed to a treatment unit (5) where the effluent is subjected to separation and filtering. In a first step, the solid matter contained in the effluent is separated from the effluent in a form as unbroken as possible, immediately followed by a second step in which the effluent is precipitated. Said second step is immediately followed by a third step in which the effluent is filtered. The filtered effluent is discharged directly back to a body of water or to another clean water connection at the cleaning site. The effluent may be subjected to additional filtering and/or disinfection, if necessary.

Stormwater capture housing system

A stormwater capture housing system designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by filtering solid waste from stormwater flow in roadways, transportation facilities, and pavement, while maintaining an optimal flow rate and enabling safe accessibility. The system comprises a housing unit with top grates that enable stormwater and solid waste to drain from the roadway into a sub-grade capture area formed by a screen weir and a screen box. The screen box ensures that the solid waste is collected while the water filters into a clean water area. The screen weir also filters solid waste and is further configured to allow for an overflow of stormwater and solid waste. Another section of the top wall has a filled grating configuration that allows for stormwater to drain without passing any solid waste to prevent flooding, also enabling access to the internal components of the housing system.

RAIN HEAD AND SCREEN THEREFOR
20220402774 · 2022-12-22 ·

A rain head comprising a lower body, a screen and an upper body. The screen includes a frame having a trough or recess. Lower parts of the sidewalls of the upper body 14 can fit into the trough or recess to enable the upper body to be removably mounted to the rain head. The screen also includes a peripheral flange and a downwardly extending lip that enable the screen to be removably mounted to the upper part of the lower body. At least some water splashing off the screen during a rain event comes into contact with the upper body and is re-directed to flow into the lower body and out through the outlet of the lower body to a rainwater collection tank. The screen and upper body may be provided separately to the lower body.

PRODUCTION METHOD FOR FULL RESOURCE RECYCLING OF SULPHATE-PROCESS TITANIUM DIOXIDE PRODUCTION WASTEWATER
20220402786 · 2022-12-22 ·

The disclosure discloses a production method for full resource recycling of sulphate-process titanium dioxide production wastewater. The method comprises the steps: adding sulphate-process titanium dioxide production wastewater neutralized with lime and treatment wastewater obtained by separating gypsum in a filter press into a recycled sodium carbonate solution to precipitate saturated calcium sulfate in the treatment wastewater, clarifying slurry to separate a calcium carbonate precipitate from a sodium sulfate solution, and performing membrane separation on the separated sodium sulfate solution in a membrane filter; and adding lime into the concentrated phase sodium sulfate solution for causticizing reaction, wherein the filtrate is used as a sodium hydroxide solution, carbonizing using a carbon dioxide-containing tail gas produced in the production process of titanium dioxide to obtain a sodium carbonate solution, and then precipitating saturated calcium sulfate in the treatment wastewater again.

System and Process for Removing Ammonium from a Wastewater Stream

The present invention relates to a side stream deammonification process where deammonification is performed by a non-continuous flow integrated fixed film activated sludge sequencing batch reactor (IFAS SBR) without the need of employing an external clarifier. More particularly, the present invention entails a single reactor designed to operate as an IFAS SBR or a moving bed bioreactor (MBBR). With the design of the single tank, the two operation modes, MBBR and IFAS SBR, are interchangeable depending on the treatment needs.
