A method for optimizing filtration in an aquaculture system. The method for optimizing filtration includes, taking at least one sample of matter from an aquaculture system, defining at least one predetermined characteristic to test the sample of matter for, testing the at least one sample of matter, determining if the at least one predetermined characteristic is present within the sample, modifying resource distribution within the aquaculture system, taking at least two samples of matter within the aquaculture system, re-defining at least one predetermined characteristic to test the at least two samples of matter for, testing the at least two samples of matter, determining if the re-defined at least one predetermined characteristic is present within the at least two samples of matter and ensuring the filtration system will retain a state of optimization.

The invention provides structures, methods, and assemblies for bioretention systems, including tree box filters with one or more internal bypass features incorporated into the tree box filter. The invention also provides methods and additional structures that are useful for managing stormwater flow and inhibiting the flow of pollutants, debris, and other contaminants into drainage systems.

Transportable wastewater treatment systems and wastewater treatment methods are provided, which employ a clarification unit to treat highly polluted wastewater (e.g., with BODs over 400 mg/l and up to 1500 mg/l) with a small footprint and without elaborate infrastructure or even without grid-based energy sources. The clarification unit comprises an anaerobic digestion unit configured to receive influent and reduce an organic load thereof to yield a first stream, an aerobic anoxic air lift reactor configured to treat the first stream and further reduce the organic load thereof to yield a second stream, and an aerobic unit configured to clarify the second stream and deliver effluent, the aerobic unit comprising a plurality of vertical sheets configured to support growth of algae on biofilm, a sprinkling system configured to sprinkle the second stream onto the vertical sheets, and an organic matter removal unit configured to collect organic mass falling off the vertical sheets.

A small sewage treatment plant comprises a first sewage tank in which a preliminary clarification takes place due to the sinking of solid particles to the bottom of the first sewage tank, and a filtering device in a second sewage tank, which filtering device comprises several filters and to which the pre-clarified sewage is fed from above for further clarification. The filtering device has a rotary plate which is rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation and stores several filter containers, each filter container including several filters arranged above each other. In a lid of the second sewage tank, a closable tank opening is provided, via which at least one filter is removable when the associated filter container is opposite to the tank opening after a corresponding rotation of the rotary plate.

The water inlet device (2) comprises a water inlet inner channel (4), a water inlet weir (5), a water inlet outer channel (6), a vertical water inlet branch pipe (7), and vertical bell mouths (8); the water inlet weir (5) is located at the top of the water inlet inner channel (4) and is connected to the water inlet inner channel (4); the vertical water inlet branch pipe (7) is vertically provided in the reactor tank body (1), and the upper and lower ends of the vertical water inlet branch pipe (7) are respectively connected to the water inlet outer channel (6) and the vertical bell mouths (8); the water outlet device (3) comprises a water outlet main pipe (9), a water outlet channel (10), a water outlet weir (11), an outer baffle plate (12), and an inner baffle plate (13); the water outlet channel (10) is connected to the water outlet main pipe (9); the outer baffle plate (12) is a vertical baffle plate; the inner baffle plate (13) is located at the bottom of the water outlet channel (10) and is connected to the water outlet channel (10); the inner baffle plate (13) and the water outlet channel (10) are provided at a certain included angle. The device has the advantages of being reasonable in structural design, convenient to operate and use, low in running energy consumption, low in later maintenance costs, and high in automation and intelligence degree, and can realize an ideal contact effect between organic matters and sludge.

A split stabilizer bearing for a mast of a rotary distributor includes a split cylindrical housing, a split filament wound bushing, a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene-coated carbon fiber ring seals, an annular split seal retainer, and multiple fasteners. The filament wound bushing is disposed inside the housing, along an inner surface thereof. The bushing has a backing layer of high-strength glass fiber and an inner sliding layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polymer fiber, the two layers both embedded in a epoxy resin matrix. The carbon fiber ring seals are disposed on axially or longitudinally opposed sides of the bushing and along an inner side or surface of the cylindrical housing, preferably in respective annular recesses or offsets along the inner side or surface of the housing. The fasteners, nylon-patch locking screws or bolts, couple the bushing and the split seal retainer to the housing.
