Abstract: A method and system for applying run rules on an individual part number basis in order to detect out-of-control events for a distinct sub-population within a general technology population. The invention thus provides for line tailoring by part number by acquiring measurement data of the part number from a manufacturing line for a measured parameter; retrieving a specification for the part number from a database; executing custom run rules by part number against the measured data using the specifications; and rejecting requests to process the part number if a run rule violation exists.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment apparatus including a biotreatment tank and a floating clarifier within the tank. The floating clarifier includes a floating base and a perimeter wall mounted to and beneath the floating base. A plurality of tented panels mounted to the clarifier walls forms an apertured bottom of the floating clarifier having a plurality of tortuous outlets. The biotreated wastewater from the biotreatment tank enters the floating clarifier, where the suspended solids within the biotreated water settle and descends out of the apertured bottom of the clarifier. The biotreatment tank and clarifier operate continuously while equalizing variations in the wastewater feed rate.
