Publication number: 20220356087Abstract: A system for treating wastewater comprising a coagulation-flocculation assembly having a raw wastewater inlet and a coagulated-flocculated wastewater outlet; and a slurry separator comprising an intake area configured for receiving wastewater slurry from the coagulated-flocculated wastewater outlet, a liquid outlet, a sludge outlet, and a filtration module configured to facilitate percolating of liquid therethrough and forming of a filter cake thereon. The slurry separator being configured to receive slurry at the intake area, separate the slurry to liquid and sludge by the filtration module, remove the liquid via the liquid outlet, and convey the sludge from the intake area to the sludge outlet. The system further comprises a level maintaining arrangement configured to maintain at least a minimal level of the filter cake.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Yehoyada Aviah ZIDON, Bnaya ZIDON, Eytan Baruch LEVY
