A structure adapted to be at least partially immersed in a liquid to be purified, in particular sewage, the structure comprising: a hollow body provided with at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for the liquid; first dispensing means adapted to dispense an oxygen-containing gas, for example air, arranged so as to generate a flow of fluid, in particular a mixture of sewage and said gas, towards said at least one outlet opening; second dispensing means adapted to dispense an oxygen-containing gas, for example air, arranged so as to generate a flow of fluid, in particular a mixture of sewage and said gas, outside the hollow body.

Systems for use in one or more sludge or waste collection devices (e.g., containers, vessels or basins). One such system is a sludge removal system for removing sludge from one or more sludge collection devices. The sludge removal system includes one or more sludge removal grids disposed in one or more sludge collection devices. Each sludge removal grid preferably includes at least one header and a plurality of sludge collection laterals. Another such system includes a fluid distribution system for distributing one or more fluids in one or more sludge or waste collection devices. A movement restricting or prevention member is provided in both the fluid distribution and sludge removal systems to prevent or restrict movement of the sludge collection laterals and the fluid distribution laterals away from or towards a floor of a corresponding collection device without anchoring or fixing the laterals to the floor.

A total nitrogen (TN) removal device for sewage and its operation method. The TN removal device includes a denitrification tank, a supplementary reaction zone filled with aerobic granular sludge and a sedimentation and separation zone. The supplementary reaction zone and the sedimentation and separation zone are arranged inside the denitrification tank, and communicated through a three-phase separator. The sedimentation and separation zone is located above the supplementary reaction zone. A top of the sedimentation and separation zone is greater than its bottom. A membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) assembly is arranged in a space formed by outer walls of the sedimentation and separation zone and supplementary reaction zone and an inner chamber of the denitrification tank. A side wall of the denitrification tank is provided with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) detector and a nitrate nitrogen detector.

The present invention relates to a high-precision, high-efficiency recirculation system for preserving multiple-density biomass and attached biofilm in wastewater treatment bioreactors, which is characterized in that it consists of a bioreactor tank in which a central recirculation duct is centrally and vertically disposed, said duct comprising a diffuser cone at the bottom thereof, close to the bottom of a baffle of the bioreactor, and an upper guide cone at the upper end thereof, wherein the central recirculation duct is designed for an inductor/nozzle to be inserted there into up to the limit of the upper wall of the bioreactor baffle, said parts forming together a central assembly containing, in vertical attitude, a drive shaft which comprises, at the upper end thereof, above the inductor/nozzle, sealing means for hermetic sealing at the upper wall of the bioreactor baffle, wherein the upper end of the drive shaft is coupled to a low-revolution motor reducer for rotating the drive shaft, which comprises one or more axial-type impellers, and wherein the lower end of the drive shaft is coupled to a hyperbolic impeller/mixer close to the bottom of the bioreactor baffle.
