  • Patent number: 9957177
    Abstract: A wastewater disposal method using a two-way oxygen supply horizontal-flow biofilm includes a carrier that is formed of a permeable material so that oxygen is supplied to the biofilm from the bottom layer of the biofilm adjacent to the surface of the carrier, so as to achieve a mode of simultaneously supplying oxygen from the surface layer and the bottom layer of the biofilm. Wastewater disposal equipment using a two-way oxygen supply horizontal-flow biofilm includes a water intake system, a reaction system and a water discharge system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2018
    Assignee: TONGJI UNIVERSITY

  • Publication number: 20050000873
    Abstract: The invention relates to one kind of wastewater treatment bioreactor. An aeration zone and a settle zone are provided in the reactor, the aeration device is located above the aeration zone, and a barrier and a gap are arranged between the aeration zone and the settle zone. It has many advantages: high oxidation rate in mixed liquid, high oxygen utilization rate of 40-50%, large volume load, short hydraulic retention time, run as activated sludge system, simple structure, low building cost, better solid-liquid separation effect, little surplus sludge produced, compact microorganism grains in mixed wastewater, and great settle capability. By comparison with other devices and technologies for wastewater treatment, the surplus sludge produced in degradation of 1 kg BOD declines by about 40 percent if the invention is used, which greatly reduces the amount of sludge for treatment.
