  • Patent number: 11975993
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to the use of an ozone oxidation process to remove azoles and azole-type compounds from wastewater. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a chemical treatment system for wastewater, including: an oxidation module receiving wastewater input and outputting an effluent; wherein the oxidation module removes azole-type compounds from the wastewater; and wherein the effluent has a reduction in azole-type compounds greater than ninety percent (90%).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9255022
    Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods of biological and chemical treatment of wastewater comprising organic nitrogen compounds. Systems may include: an aerobic reactor, a first separation module for separating liquid and solid components of the wastewater; an oxidation module for removing organic materials from the wastewater; and a post-anoxic reactor for denitrifying at least a portion of the wastewater. Systems may include a second separation module and various feedback recycle lines between the components. Methods may include: degrading by the aerobic reactor more than 95% of organic compounds to ammonia, oxidizing by the oxidation module at least a portion of the ammonia to nitrates, and degrading by the post-anoxic reactor at least a portion of the nitrates to nitrogen gas and water. Systems and methods may reduce total organic carbon of the wastewater by more than 90%, and total nitrogen of the wastewater by more than 90%.

  • Publication number: 20050102250
    Abstract: In processing system that includes a processing element communicatively coupled to a storage system for storage of database files (35) managed by a database management system (34) having a transaction management facility (36), file access operations from application processes are intercepted and checked to determine if the operation is from a non-transactional process, and if so, whether an automatic transaction should be started for the operation.
