Abstract: A modular secondary wastewater treatment system includes one or more dedicated vessels that perform a single secondary wastewater treatment operation. The reactor vessels may be made by converting standard intermodal transport containers for this purpose. The containers are stood on end with the front of the container forming the bottom of the vessel. Openings in the sidewalls of the vessels are piped to one another to establish the series and parallel flow paths desired for the modular system. The modular system allows for easy and standardized design, transport, set up and operation, with inherent scaling.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment includes an elevated aeration system. The aeration system is used to provide air and nutrients to biological growth in a wastewater treatment vessel, and to promote circulation of the support media used for the biological growth. The aeration system is elevated from the bottom of the reactor vessel by supports that extend from sidewalls of the vessel, or from suspension systems that hang the aeration system at a desired height. Silt, debris and sludge may be removed from the free space between the elevated aeration system and the vessel floor. Mechanical collection or removal devices may be positioned between the elevated aeration system and the reactor floor.

Abstract: The invention, as embodied herein, comprises an improved portable maritime scoring and simulation system that comprises three or more buoys that are deployed in an area of water selected for maritime combat training. Attached to each buoy are a global positioning system receiver, an RF radio system, an acoustic analysis system, and a microprocessor. The acoustic analysis system is designed to capture an acoustic signature of ordnance impacting the water with predetermined characteristics. The system includes an RF radio repeater system linked to a system controller to control and monitor the elements of the system. In operation, when an acoustic signature is captured by the acoustic analysis system, the RF radio system, in one embodiment, transmits the time of the capture along with the GPS location of the buoy to the RF radio repeater system linked to the system controller. When three or more buoys transmit a captured acoustic signature, the system controller computes the location of impact using a location process. The invention also includes an improved method of controlling the system.

Abstract: There is provided a process for treating industrial wastewater (11) that substantially eliminates the generation of excess solids in the system requiring mechanical removal. The wastewater undergoes an equalization step (14, 16) wherein hydraulic flow is smoothed and the pH of the wastewater is adjusted to near neutral ph conditions. The equalized wastewater (17) is then transferred to aeration tanks (20, 22) where the organic process wastes are absorbed, metabolized, or otherwise biodegraded by the micro-organisms in the mixed liquor in the aeration tanks. After the aeration step, the wastewater is separated by gravity in a clarifying step to separate the wastewater into a liquid phase and a semi-solid phase. The clarified liquid phase (30) is withdrawn from the clarifier and discharged, while the semi-solid phase is transferred either directly back to the Aeration/biological treatment step, as recycle-activated sludge (36), or into a bioreactor (32) as waste-activated sludge. In the bioreactor the semi-solid phase is subjected to active aeration. The aerated waste activated sludge is then batch-recycled to the equalization tank (14, 16) discharging to the aeration step where it is mixed into newly introduced untreated wastewater and undergoes a new cycle of biological treatment. As a result of the indirect batchrecycling of bioreactor waste-activated sludge into the mixed liquor (biomass containing waste sludge) under aeration, which is also receiving recycle-activated sludge and enzymes, the excess solids generated in this process virtually eliminated.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种处理工业废水（11）的方法，其基本上消除了在需要机械去除的系统中产生过量的固体。 废水进行平衡步骤（14,16），其中水力流平滑，并将废水的pH调节至接近中性pH条件。 然后将均衡的废水（17）转移到曝气池（20,22）中，其中有机过程废物被曝气池中的混合液体中的微生物吸收，代谢或以其它方式生物降解。 在曝气步骤之后，在澄清步骤中通过重力分离废水以将废水分离成液相和半固相。 将澄清的液相（30）从澄清器中排出并排出，同时半固相直接返回到曝气/生物处理步骤，作为再循环活性污泥（36）或转移到生物反应器（32）中， 作为废活性污泥。 在生物反应器中，半固相进行主动曝气。 然后将曝气废物活性污泥分批循环到均化罐（14,16）中，排放到曝气步骤，将其混入新引入的未处理废水中，并进行新的生物处理循环。 由于生物反应器废物活性污泥在曝气中间接批量循环进入混合液（含生物质的废污泥），这也是接收再循环活性污泥和酶，在此过程中产生的过量固体几乎消除了。
