Patent number: 6383378Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for treating an organic waste water which are capable of utilizing compact equipment by reducing the, quantity of a sludge to be treated. Organic waste water (A) is subjected to an aerobic biological treatment in a biological treatment tank (3). Then, solution (B) obtained by the treatment in the biological treatment tank (3) is solid-liquid separated into treated water (C) and sludge (D) in precipitation tank (5). A portion of the sludge (D) separated in the precipitation tank (5) is returned to the biological treatment tank (3) through a route (6). A portion (E) of the sludge separated in the precipitation tank (5)is concentrated by a concentration device (8). Thereafter, the concentrated sludge (E) is solubilized by thermophilic bacteria in a solubilizing tank (10).Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Shinko Pantec Co. Ltd.Inventors: Susumu Hasegawa, Akira Akashi, Kenji Katsura, Masahiko Miura, Takahiro Fukui

Patent number: 6126828Abstract: A method and an apparatus for treating an organic waste water capable of deodorizing an exhaust gas diffused into an atmosphere is provided, wherein heat energy loss is small and the amount of an organic or inorganic nitrogen compounds in an effluent from the apparatus is low. In the method of the present invention, an organic waste water is nitrified in a nitrification device 8, denitrified in a denitrification device 9, and subjected to an aerobic biological treatment in an aeration tank 10, and then the treated mixture is solid-liquid separated in a solid-liquid separation device 3. A portion of an excess sludge separated in solid-liquid separation device 3 is solubilized at a high temperature in a solubilization device 6, and the solution after a solubilization treatment is returned to denitrification device 9 and a gas exhausted from solubilization device 6 is charged into nitrification device 8.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1998Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Shinko Pantec Co., Ltd.Inventors: Susumu Hasegawa, Kenji Katsura, Masahiko Miura

Patent number: 6083395Abstract: A method of continuously treating an organic waste water which simplifies the overall process, avoids lengthy solubilizing reactions to reduce the volume of a solubilizing vessel, and effectively performs the solubilizing treatment is disclosed. In the method of continuously treating an organic waste water containing organic solids, the solubilizing treatment for the organic sludge is carried out using heat and under conditions such that a sludge solubilization enzyme is produced and secreted from a microorganism to promote solubilization, and the solubilizing treatment time is determined based on a hydraulic residence time of a treated solution in a solubilizing treatment device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1998Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: Shinko Pantec Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Katsura, Masahiko Miura, Susumu Hasegawa
