Abstract: A system for treating wastewater comprises a source of activated sludge, a compressor for supplying pressurized air, at least one anaerobic reactor for anaerobically treating wastewater with the activated sludge, at least one aerobic reactor for aerobically treating wastewater with the activated sludge and pressurized air, a pressure control system for regulating pressure in the system, a discharge system for removing byproducts of the system, and a discharge system for removing treated wastewater and activated sludge from an anaerobic and an aerobic reactor, and a surge tank for holding removed wastewater and activated sludge and thereby further treating the wastewater.

Abstract: A system for treatment of organic matter in wastewater comprises a source of activated sludge for promoting anaerobic and aerobic digestion of wastewater, a source of wastewater for circulating through the system, at least one aerobic reactor for aerobically treating the wastewater, at least one anaerobic reactor for anaerobically treating the wastewater, a compressor for supplying a volume of pressurized air to the wastewater previous to the wastewater entering an aerobic reactor, a discharge system for removing byproducts of the system, and a pressure control system for regulating pressure in the system.

Abstract: A system for treating wastewater capable of removing granules from treated wastewater comprises a source of activated sludge for promoting anaerobic and aerobic digestion of wastewater; a compressor for supplying a volume of pressurized air for promoting aerobic digestion of wastewater; at least one anaerobic reactor for anaerobically treating wastewater with the activated sludge and at least one aerobic reactor for aerobically treating wastewater with the activated sludge and pressurized air, thereby producing additional activated sludge material containing granules; a pump for circulating wastewater through the system; a pressure control system for regulating pressure in the system; a discharge system for removing treated wastewater and activated sludge from an anaerobic and an aerobic reactor; and a filter for removing the granules from the additional activated sludge.
