Abstract: A modular underdrain system is disclosed. The modular underdrain system may comprise an intermediate modular component having a first peripheral side including a first mating portion and a second peripheral side including a second mating portion. The first peripheral side may comprise at least one transfer orifice. An intermediate plate member is disposed intermediate the first peripheral side and the second peripheral side along a width dimension. The intermediate plate member may comprise a metering pipe opening. A metering pipe may be sized to be positioned within the metering pipe opening.

Abstract: A media clarifier may have a passageway, an inlet, an outlet above the inlet, a screen, and a media bed with both compressible and incompressible media. The screen may span the passageway. The media bed may be adjacent to the screen when the media clarifier is in an operational state. Particulate matter is removed from a water stream as it passes through the media bed.

Abstract: A combination biological contactor and self-backwashing filter system for water treatment is disclosed. The system may include a treatment vessel defining an upper chamber and a lower chamber. A biological contactor may be disposed within the upper chamber, and a filter may be disposed in the lower chamber. A contactor outlet conduit and inlet manifold may be used to transfer water from the biological contactor to filter cells within the filter.

Abstract: A modular underdrain system is disclosed. The modular underdrain system may comprise an intermediate modular component having a first peripheral side including a first mating portion and a second peripheral side including a second mating portion. The second mating portion may be sized and shaped to engage with a first mating portion of an adjacent modular component. A modular component chamber may be bounded by an underdrain floor side and an internal side. The underdrain floor side may comprise a plurality of slots. The metering pipe is sized to be positioned within a metering pipe opening in the internal side with a distributor head positioned within the modular component chamber. The metering pipe may comprise a set of one or more remote orifices and a set of one or more proximate orifices.
