Wastewater processing modules that include an interior surface defining an interior volume, one or more inlets configured to receive wastewater into the interior volume, one or more outlets configured to exhaust processed water from the interior volume, one or more flow-deflecting baffles positioned within the interior volume fluidly between the inlet(s) and the outlet(s) and that divide the interior volume into a plurality of fluidly connected sections, and a purification medium at least partially filing the plurality of fluidly connected sections. The flow-deflecting baffle(s) are configured to channel the wastewater to flow along a plurality of circuitous bulk flow paths through the purification medium. The purification medium is configured to sequester contaminants from the wastewater as it flows through the interior volume along the circuitous bulk flow paths to produce the processed water therefrom.

Systems, processes and methods for controlling the irrigation of wastewater to a vegetated land are provided. The process can include determining a drained upper limit (DUL)-related criterion of an irrigation zone of the vegetated land, and obtaining a soil water tension measurement indicative of the irrigation status in the irrigation zone. The soil water tension measurement can then be compared to the DUL-related criterion, and when the soil water tension measurement of the irrigation zone is equal to or above the DUL-related criterion, an irrigation event characterized by a given volume of wastewater and a given irrigation duration can be initiated to irrigate the irrigation zone. The process can also include implementing a predetermined irrigation protocol in accordance with a set of predetermined parameters to irrigate the irrigation zone during an irrigation event, the set of predetermined parameters including for instance a DUL-related criterion for the irrigation zone.

Systems and methods are disclosed for coastal resiliency amelioration or other flooding amelioration, comprising adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to a property to raise its elevation, wherein the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is not increased. In some embodiments, the surcharge on an underlying soil of the property is decreased (e.g., a negative surcharge). Systems and methods are also disclosed for increasing the stormwater storage capacity of a property, comprising, adding a layer of foamed glass aggregates to the property.

A liquid treatment system is provided having a vault that contains a treatment chamber and an outflow chamber. The treatment chamber may have a filtration media layer containing media that treats liquid as it descends through the filtration media layer, where it will accumulate in a porous layer or open space. The liquid will then be directed through the plurality of pipes to the outflow chamber, where the treated liquid is further directed to outside the system. Accumulated debris settled at the bottom of the treatment chamber may be flushed out by a spray bar.

A floating wetland structure including a plurality of floating connected modules, each module having a frame that is at least partially hollow and a support structure adapted to support a plurality of containers for growing plants in the wetland.

The present disclosure provides a deepwater cabin-based constructed wetland treatment system, including a cabin body, water inlet subsystems, a drainage subsystem, a micro-aeration subsystem, and a filtering scrapper subsystem. The micro-aeration subsystem includes a micro-porous aeration pipe and an air blower. The cabin body is filled with combined filler. The micro-porous aeration pipe is arranged at a bottom of the cabin body. The filtering scrapper subsystem is arranged above the combined filler. The water inlet subsystems are used for introducing wastewater to be purified onto the filtering scrapper subsystem. The filtering scrapper subsystem is used for performing filtering treatment on the wastewater to be purified to obtain filtered impurities and water after primary filtering, transporting the filtered impurities to a specified area, and introducing the water after the primary filtering onto the combined filler.

Systems and methods of restoring a lake including dredging, island creation, water treatment, real estate development, computer modeling of environmental conditions, wave height reduction, sediment removal and encapsulation, bathymetry contouring, littoral zone restoration, plant restoration, and/or fish restoration.

A sewage treatment apparatus is provided for reducing nitrogen content in sewage fluid (e.g., after primary treatment). The apparatus uses vegetation to process the sewage fluid and reduce ammonia and organic nitrogen in the processed sewage fluid by uptake of the ammonia and organic nitrogen into the vegetation and by converting the residual ammonia and organic nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates. The apparatus also uses a feedback loop to combine the processed sewage fluid and the raw sewage fluid, such that nitrites and nitrates in the processed sewage fluid are reduced by interacting with carbonaceous waste in the raw sewage fluid.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for treating wastewater and generating electricity. The system includes layers of sediment containing microorganisms for treating the wastewater. The system includes layers of granular activated carbon or granular activated carbon with graphene oxide or sand with graphene oxide disposed on top of the sediment layers for enhancing electron transfer, current generation rate, and wastewater treatment. The system also includes one or more anodes and one or more cathodes located on top of the layers of granular activated carbon or granular activated carbon with graphene oxide or sand with graphene oxide. The one or more anodes and the one or more cathodes are configured to generate electrical voltage. The system also includes a battery connected to the one or more anodes and the one or more cathodes and configured to store the electrical voltage generated by the one or more anodes and the one or more cathodes.

A floating-island type artificial wetland treatment system based on a lake center platform is provided. The system includes a lake center platform, a water inflow sub-system including water inflow filled columns, a water drainage sub-system including water drainage filled columns, a water collection and distribution sub-system including water collection tanks, and a platform wetland sub-system; the water drainage filled column is located in a center of a bottom of the lake center platform; the plurality of water inflow filled columns are uniformly distributed at edges of the bottom of the lake center platform with the water drainage filled column as a center; the platform wetland sub-system is located in a center region of an upper surface of the lake center platform; and the plurality of water collection tanks are uniformly distributed at edges of the upper surface of the lake center platform with the platform wetland sub-system as a center.
