  • Patent number: 11820687
    Abstract: Systems and methods for treating liquid effluent, the effluent including contaminants capable of biodegradation, using biodegradation beds. While the effluent holding tank is housed within a containment facility in the event of holding tank rupture or leakage, the biodegradation beds and an excess effluent sump are housed adjacent but outside the containment facility. In some aspects, the biodegradation beds are covered with generally transparent covers to allow sunlight to heat the bed contents and effluent for degradation and evaporation purposes while avoiding introduction of unwanted ambient precipitation.
    Type: Grant
