摘要:
An anaerobic reaction system for treatment of a continuous flow of wastewater comprises a wastewater inlet, a first anaerobic reactor connected to the inlet, a second anaerobic reactor connected to the inlet and parallel to the first reactor, and a split box between the inlet and the first and second reactor. The split box channels the continuous flow of wastewater to the first reactor and to the second reactor. Effluent empties from the first reactor while wastewater in the second reactor is anaerobically reacted upon and clarified. Alternately, effluent empties from the second reactor while wastewater contained in the first reactor is anaerobically reacted upon and clarified.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a floating containment barrier grid structure (20) for containment of floating aquatic plants (26) in a body of water (30). The barrier grid structure (20) includes a plurality of interconnected square barrier segments (24), the top edge of the barrier segments extending above the surface of the water so as to prohibit substantial wave action. The floating containment barrier grid structure (20) being anchored by cables (38) and stakes (40) in a somewhat tensioned state while floating in the body of water (30). The barrier grid structure (20) being tensioned to enable portions of the barrier grid structure (20) to be submerged beneath the surface of the water by a harvesting machine (28) while harvesting the floating aquatic plants (26).

A wastewater treatment system for deployment in a body of water having a floor and a water surface includes an in-pond clarifier extending across the body of water. The in-pond clarifier defines a clarifying chamber and includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion is suspended above the wastewater surface. The lower portion is maintained adjacent to the floor of the body of water. As a result, the body of water is divided into distinct treatment zones on opposite sides of the clarifying chamber. The in-pond clarifier further includes a plurality of pumps for removing biological solids which settle within the clarifying chamber. Separate pumps are provided for either returning settled solids to the body of water or for wasting settled solids from the body of water.
摘要:
Aquatic plants are harvested from a body of water. The aquatic plants are gathered from the surface of the body of water and transported to a collection zone at a collection point on the body of water. The aquatic plants are then moved from the collection zone to an aquatic plant processing station.
摘要:
A floating nitrification reactor for use in a treatment pond utilizes a mass of high surface area material which provides sites for bacterial treatment. Floatation devices are attached to the mass of high surface area material in order to float the material at neutral buoyancy while an isolator surrounds the material and isolates the material from the rest of the treatment pond. An aerator, located a distance below the mass of high surface area material, forces air and water through the material at a sufficient speed to allow treatment.
摘要:
A floating aquatic plant water treatment system (31) utilizes a serpentine channel (36) defined by dividing walls (34). Floating plants (72) are distributed across the water surface by a floating grid structure (32). The grid structure (32) is preassembled into Z-fold bundles (88) which are towed onto the water and unfolded. The treatment system uses sprayers (62) to control growth conditions. Porous baffles (46) are placed along portions of the channel (36) to provide intimate contact with a larger portion of the water while allowing free flow.

摘要:
A sewage treatment pond has an inlet for introduction of sewage into the pond and an outlet for removal of sewage from the pond. A first baffle extends from the surface of the pond to the bottom of the pond and between the inlet and the outlet. The first baffle has an opening located a first distance from the surface of the pond so that sewage can pass through the opening. A second baffle is located between the inlet and the outlet. The second baffle extends from the surface of the pond to the bottom of the pond. The second baffle has an opening located a second distance from the surface of the pond.
