  • Transfer apparatus and system, and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20110176987
    Abstract: A transfer apparatus for facilitating transfer between a higher density fluid and a lower density fluid. The apparatus includes a transfer chamber includes a higher density fluid zone and a lower density fluid zone adjacent each other. A moveable contactor is housed in the transfer chamber. At least a portion of the moveable contactor is moveable between the higher density fluid zone and the lower density fluid zone. A current generator connected to the transfer chamber generates a current in the lower density fluid zone. A transfer system includes a plurality of fluidly connected apparatuses in series.

  • Process for recovery of nutrients from wastewater
    Patent number: 7135116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating a wastewater comprising an ammonium ion species and a phosphorus ion species. The process comprises the steps of: (i) treating the effluent in a first stage of the process to convert the phosphorus to a phosphorus-containing salt; (ii) treating the wastewater in a second stage of the process to convert the ammonium ion species to gaseous ammonia; (iii) removing the struvite and/or other phosphorous containing salts from the effluent; and (iv) removing the gaseous ammonia from the wastewater.
