  • Wastewater treatment system including a moving bed assembly
    Patent number: 12577136
    Abstract: A moving bed assembly for use in an aqueous environment includes a frame housing, a retention screen coupled to the frame housing and extending at least partially across one side of the frame housing, where the frame housing and the retention screen cooperatively defining an interior of the moving bed assembly, and biocarrier media retained within the interior. The assembly further includes a diffuser coupled to the frame housing and configured to direct bubbles into the interior of the housing to agitate the media within the interior when the assembly is in the aqueous environment. The assembly has a density greater than a density of fluid in the aqueous environment such that the moving bed assembly is configured to be submerged and a fill ratio of a volume of the biocarrier media to a total volume of the interior of the moving bed assembly is between 30% and 70%.
