Abstract: A single-piece conduit end cap configured to fluidly connect multiple conduits. The conduit end cap may comprise multiple apertures defined by the arms of a fitting interconnecting the apertures. The fitting may additionally comprise an opening allowing a fluid communication between the apertures and the interior of the end cap. To that end, the single-piece conduit end cap may allow the installation of various pipes without the need for additional fittings or components.

Abstract: A low-pressure distribution system configured to pressurize effluent and distribute it throughout pressure conduits disposed within drainage conduits. The low-pressure distribution system may pressurize the effluent such that it is dispersed along a substantial portion or the entirety of the length of the pressure conduits and/or drainage conduits. To that end, the low-pressure distribution system may ensure an efficient distribution of the effluent throughout the drainage conduits while retaining an effluent flow rate therein suitable for the growth of microbial water treating bacteria.

Abstract: A wastewater sampling device configured to collect, for sampling purposes, a portion of an effluent and/or of treated wastewater released by a wastewater treatment system. The wastewater sampling device comprises a base and sidewalls configured to receive and channel the effluent and/or treated wastewater into a collection well whereby said effluent and/or treated wastewater may be subsequently collected by means of a collection chimney. The wastewater sampling device may be installed at any depth underneath the wastewater treatment system, thus allowing for a collection of effluent and/or treated wastewater at different stages within the filtering process.

Abstract: A filtration media, system and method to passively remove phosphorus and coliforms from wastewater streams is provided. The filtration media system allows wastewater to enter via an inlet toward a diffusor, a filtration media and a filtration media support. The filtered wastewater exits through an outlet. In one aspect, the filtration media broadly comprises sand, activated alumina, peat moss or lime, or any combination thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the dephosphatation media may further comprise about 20-65% filtration grade sand, about 7-14% granular activated alumina, about 25-50% peat moss and about 5-20% dolomitic lime. The filtration media system may be used in a wastewater treatment method to passively remove phosphorus and coliforms from sewage streams. The dephosphatation media system may be used to passively treat domestic, industrial and commercial sewage streams.

Abstract: A novel wastewater treatment method, apparatus and system to treat wastewater from septic tanks, including a tertiary treatment for the passive removal of phosphorus, nitrogen and coliforms from sewage streams, is described. The method, apparatus and systems comprise a septic tank, an enviro-septic system, a dephosphatation system, a denitrification system and a polishing field, including related piping distribution and pumping systems. The invention further comprises an enviro-septic system comprising an advanced enviro-septic pipe, a filtration medium, a collection drain and associated distribution systems; a polishing field comprising an advanced enviro-septic pipe, a collection drain, a filtration medium, a collection drain and associated distribution systems; and a dephosphatation system comprising a filtration medium for the removal of phosphorus and coliforms and a denitrification system comprising a filtration medium for the removal of nitrogen.

Abstract: A wireless control system for fluids, such as water or gas, controls an electronic valve mechanism located at the main fluid entrance of buildings. The valve is kept closed when no request is made for use of the aquifer or gas system, thus lessening the pressure on the plumbing during the non-use of the system and greatly reduces risk of damage when a break occurs in plumbing. The valve can be controlled by sensors, which could be wirelessly and securely connected; by a central unit accessible via a screen placed directly on the unit; and through several types of interfaces available for better flexibility of the control system. A web interface can be accessed via a computer or mobile on the local network via Wi-Fi or from outside via VPN or web address and a specific port pointed to the previously configured network.
