Abstract: A water treatment system includes a bioreactor having a tank configured to receive an influent liquid, a separator structure positioned in the tank, an aeration vent positioned in the tank and configured to direct air into the tank, but not directly into the interior of the separator structure; and an effluent outlet communicating with the interior of the separator structure through which a relatively clean effluent liquid, exits from the separator structure via the effluent outlet, a filter tank in fluid communication with the effluent outlet of the tank, and an ozone generator in communication downstream of the filter tank, for oxidizing the effluent liquid.

Abstract: A bioreactor for a water treatment system includes a tank configured to receive an influent liquid, a separator structure positioned in the tank, the separator structure having a frustoconical shape and defining a downwardly-facing opening proximal to or at a bottom of the separator structure, an interior of the separator structure being in communication with the tank, external to the separator structure, at least via the opening, an aeration vent positioned proximal to a bottom of the tank and configured to direct air into the tank, but not directly into the interior of the separator structure, and an effluent outlet communicating with the interior of in the separator structure, proximal to a top of the separator structure, a relatively clean effluent liquid, in comparison to the influent liquid in the tank, exiting from the separator structure via the effluent outlet.

Abstract: A bioreactor for a water treatment system includes an aerator tank configured to receive an influent liquid, and a clarifier positioned in the aerator tank, the clarifier having a generally conical shape and defining a downwardly-facing opening. An interior of the clarifier is in communication with the aerator tank, external to the clarifier, at least via the downwardly-facing opening, and wherein the clarifier is positioned non-concentrically with the aerator tank. The bioreactor further includes a plurality of aeration vents positioned proximal to a bottom of the tank and configured to direct air into the aerator tank, and an effluent outlet positioned in the clarifier. A relatively clean effluent liquid, in comparison to the influent liquid in the aerator tank, exits from the clarifier via the effluent outlet.

Abstract: A mobile water treatment system and method, of which the system includes a bioreactor including an aerator tank configured to receive an influent fluid, a conical clarifier positioned in the aerator tank, the conical clarifier defining a downwardly-facing opening. An interior of the conical clarifier is in communication with the aerator tank, external to the conical clarifier, via the downwardly-facing opening. The bioreactor also includes a plurality of aeration vents positioned proximal to a bottom of the tank and configured to direct air into the aerator tank, but not toward a bottom of the conical clarifier, and an effluent outlet positioned in the conical clarifier. A relatively clean effluent fluid, in comparison to the influent fluid in the aerator tank, exits from the conical clarifier via the effluent outlet.
