Abstract: A clarifier of a wastewater treatment system is made more efficient and cost effective with an energy dissipating inlet (EDI) that removes the need for a conventional feedwell/EDI system. A central influent pipe has wastewater outlet ports under the liquid surface, the ports being surrounded by an efficient EDI surrounding the center pipe and extending outwardly therefrom. The EDI receives influent flow and directs the sludge outwardly and generally downwardly at reduced flow velocity. Series of baffles in the EDI help slow the flow velocity and disperse the sludge. In another embodiment a faucet-type EDI has discharge openings that disperse the sludge downwardly after it has flowed through sets of baffles above. Significant cost reductions in material and installation are realized by elimination of the conventional feedwell/EDI system.

Abstract: A liquid level control system employs a flap gate for discharging liquid, but with a midstream headloss inducing device between the basin or tank and the flap gate. The flap gate opens when liquid level in the basin rises, and the opening of the gate is controlled by a counterweight positioned so as to decrease closing force as the gate opens farther, thus managing the outflow of liquid to efficiently return the basin to a design level. If flow from the basin is generally constant, the system will reach a point of equilibrium of gate opening and closing forces while liquid flows out from the basin.

Abstract: A continuous flow granular/flocculent sludge wastewater process selects for granule biomass capable of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and controls granule size and concentration of granular and flocculent sludge for optimal nutrient, organic, and solids removal in a smaller footprint. A series of biological process zones lead to a secondary clarifier. Mixed liquor sludge, preferably from an aerobic zone, goes through a classifier or separator processing flow from the aerobic zone, to the secondary clarifier. In a sidestream process that can be included a portion of sludge preferably from an aerobic zone goes through a classifier or separator to selectively produce a granular-rich effluent, and the clarifier may also have a separator to further concentrate granular biomass, most of which is cycled back to an initial multi-stage anaerobic process zone. The anaerobic zone is structured and operated to encourage growth of granules in subsequent process zones.

Abstract: In a wastewater treatment system, a clarifier has a submerged effluent launder, with a sloped, submerged plate that allows clarified liquid to exit through submerged openings. The sloped surface tends to accumulate solids, which can lead to algae growth. Typical internal scum collection system equipment prevents any efficient way to clear the accumulated sludge off the launder surface because of interferences. As disclosed here, a scum discharge area or box is placed external to the clarifier in one embodiment. Scum is wiped from a vertical surface of the launder assembly, above the sloped launder surface, and swept over a scum beach at one position in the clarifier, to drop into a lower trough and the flow out through the clarifier wall to a drop out box or scum discharge area. This allows for a rake-attached, sweeping launder wiper to be moved with the clarifier's rake to remove the accumulation of sludge from the launder's submerged surface, without elaborate moving parts. The sludge is swept back to settle in the clarifier, improving effluent quality by preventing sludge from exiting along with clarified water. In another embodiment the scum discharge box is internal, as a low-profile vertically disposed channel against the inside clarifier wall, leading to an existing scum pipe through the clarifier wall.

Abstract: A continuous flow granular/flocculent sludge wastewater process selects for granule biomass capable of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and controls granule size and concentration of granular and flocculent sludge for optimal nutrient, organic, and solids removal in a smaller footprint. It includes anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic process zones, a high soluble biodegradable COD loaded first reactor in anaerobic or anoxic zones, a granular sludge classifier with recycle of underflow granular sludge to the first reactor, a secondary clarifier to settle flocculent sludge and particulates and recycle of flocculent sludge from the secondary clarifier underflow to an aerobic process zone. Wasting of sludge from the two separate recycle lines controls the bioprocess flocculent and granular sludge concentrations and SRTs. Bypass around and recycle flow to the classifier to maintain desired flow under various influent flow conditions aid control of granule size. On/off mixer operation of anaerobic and anoxic reactors may be used.

Abstract: In a wastewater treatment system, a suction duct clarifier is converted to a suction pipe clarifier without penetrating existing concrete at the base of the tank. An elevated sludge collection box is added, positioned on the center column to rotate with rake arms, and a series of sludge riser pipes extend from the rake arms up into the sludge collection box for sludge delivery by hydraulic pressure differential. A sludge discharge downpipe is provided within the center/influent column for delivery of sludge from the collection box, and at the bottom of this pipe, above the tank floor, the discharge pipe exits through an opening in the center/influent column. At the outside of this opening is a sludge transfer box that receives sludge exiting the discharge pipe and conveys it down through the existing floor opening and to the existing under-floor RAS return pipe.
