Abstract:
A mobile water re-use system can include a chemical treatment apparatus, at least one weir tank in fluid communication with the chemical treatment apparatus, and two or more settling tanks in fluid communication with each other and at least one of the settling tanks in fluid communication with the weir tank. The weir tank can have a first end, a second end, an internal chamber, and a plurality of baffles that induce turbulent flow of fluid through the internal chamber. The settling tanks can provide, promote, facilitate, result in, and/or induce laminar flow of fluid through at least a portion of the internal chamber. Weir tanks, settling tanks, and method of treating flowback and produced water are also described.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a filtration skid configured to generate a filtrate through at least one of microfiltration and ultrafiltration. The apparatus further includes a desalination skid fluidly connected to the filtration skid. The desalination skid is configured to perform reverse osmosis desalination on the filtrate to generate a permeate, where the filtrate travels from the filtration skid to the desalination skid without traversing a storage tank. In one embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a controller, where the filtration skid and the desalination skid are integrated to provide self-adaptive operation of the filtration skid and the desalination skid in response to control by at least one of a supervisory controller and a local controller. In one embodiment, the control responds to at least one of temporal variability of feed water quality, a permeate production capacity target, and a permeate quality target.
Abstract:
A water treatment system having modular-filter based residential reverse osmosis (RO) system that passes a stream of purified water through an ultraviolet light (UV) filter twice to ensure the water is sterile, while using only one UV filter, thereby forcing the water through a UV filter twice in a modular-filter based RO system. The water treatment system also includes a system whereby water passes through the UV filter at both points using only one UV filter by employing a system whereby a purified water stream is passed through a single remineralization module twice. The present invention also includes the method for treating water through such double forced sterilization system.
Abstract:
A sludge treatment system, comprising a pump (1), an ozone generation device, an ejector (2) and pipe reactors (3). The pump (1), the ozone generation device, the ejector (2) and the pipe reactors (3) are sequentially connected by pipes. An oxygen generator (4) and an ozone machine (5) are arranged within the ozone generation device, and are connected by a pipe. The ozone generation device is used for providing ozone into the pipe reactors (3). The inner surfaces of the pipe reactors (3) are coated with a catalyst layer used for increasing the oxidative capacity of the ozone on the sludge. Spiral fin plates (6) allowing a fluid to generate a spiral flow are arranged within the pipe reactors (3). Also disclosed is a sludge treatment method using the present sludge treatment system. The present system has a high ozone utilization rate, and a low ozone input proportion.
Abstract:
A water filtration device for purifying water includes a housing, a tap, a top cover, a plurality of filters, and a handle. The housing has an upper opening, a closed bottom and a sidewall. The tap extends through the sidewall proximate to the bottom. The top cover has a rim and a porous medial surface that extends inwardly from the rim. The rim is configured to engage the sidewall to cover the opening. Each of the filters in the plurality of filters has an upper edge, a lower edge, and a mesh that extends inwardly from the lower edge. The handle has a pair of attachment ends and a central grasping section. The pair of attachment ends is configured to engage an associated pair of opposing attachment points coupled to the exterior surface of the sidewall proximate to the upper opening.
Abstract:
A manifold bracket assembly has a bracket body and multiple filter heads. The filter heads are mounted on the bracket body, and each filter head has an outer casing, a filter connector, two keyed tabs and two tab fasteners. The filter connector and the keyed tabs are securely mounted in the outer casing by the tab fasteners. The filter connector has multiple hose connectors. The keyed tabs are mounted respectively in two tab holes in the filter connector, and each keyed tab has a key block formed on the inner surface of the keyed tab. Accordingly, the filter heads can be easily and conveniently connected with each other by hoses connected to the hose connectors.
Abstract:
A compact scalable modular system and process for treatment of water. Various water treatment components may be integrated into a scalable module to reduce an overall footprint of the module and accommodate easier installation without significant time and cost. The integrated treatment components in the module may be customized based on the target pollutants to treat, such as soluble and insoluble organic and inorganic substances, or expected quality of effluent water, such as for human consumption, and industrial or environmental usage, to achieve. A two-phase separation system may be used in a combination with any treatment component. One such embodiment includes a treatment component in a combination with a coagulation and flocculation treatment component so that the pollutants may be coagulated and flocculated before the separation process of the coagulants and flocculants. By using settling plates or tubes, the two-phase separation system embodiment may effectively form floatable solids and settlable solids. The floatable solids may be removed from the separation component by a sludge skimmer or a device with a similar function and the floatable solids may be removed from the separation component by a sludge rake or pump.
Abstract:
A water treatment tank is constructed from several adjoining intermodal containers (ICs). The adjoining ICs are angularly disposed relative to each other so as to surround a tank area. Each IC has a reinforced sidewall defining a tank wall or tank wall part. A bracing structure is attached to ICs end walls at each junction between adjoining ICs. The tank having a liner supported at the sidewalls and covering the ground at the tank area.
