  • Patent number: 12161953
    Abstract: A container-type apparatus for wastewater treatment with a suspended particle system, including one or multiple biological reaction zones. The biological reaction zones can be facultative, anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic and at least one of the biological reaction zones is a suspended particle system. Particles in the suspended particle system act as the carrier of microbiota and offer better conditions for them to grow. The apparatus adopts a box structure, such as a container type, which is convenient to move, flexible to assemble, and can be used multiple times. Based on actual requirements, this apparatus can also be a structure type. The suspended particle system can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion.

  • Patent number: 12121890
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a light particle system or a mixed particle system for wastewater treatment comprising a contactor. The contactor includes a gas-liquid-solid three-phase region, and the gas-liquid-solid three-phase region includes gas phase, liquid phase, and solid phase. The liquid phase is a continuous phase and the solid phase is light particles or mixed particles. The mixed particles include light particles and heavy particles. The density of the light particles is lower than the density of the liquid phase and the density of the heavy particles is higher than the density of the liquid phase. The light particles or mixed particles are able to carry some microorganisms on their surfaces at least. The light/mixed particle-suspension system in the present invention applied in wastewater treatment can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion.

  • Publication number: 20200140303
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cage particle distribution system for wastewater treatment comprising contactors. Said contactors include shells and the interior of said shells is a hollow cavity. At least one of the side walls, the upper surface and the lower surface of said shells are equipped with through-holes. Particles are loaded inside said shells and said particles can carry some microorganisms on their surfaces at least. Said cage systems are placed in the water of a wastewater system or a wastewater treatment system and one or multiple said cage systems can be placed. Separate aeration and/or liquid distribution into each individual cage system disperse particles in the system by the gas and/or liquid, which improves the efficiency of wastewater treatment.

  • Publication number: 20180282185
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a slightly heavy particle system for wastewater treatment, comprising a contactor. Said contactor includes a gas-liquid-solid three-phase region, and said gas-liquid-solid three-phase region includes gas phase, liquid phase, and solid phase. Said liquid phase is the continuous phase and said solid phase is slightly heavy particles. Said slightly heavy particles are able to carry some microorganisms on their surfaces at least, and the density of said slightly heavy particles is higher than the density of said liquid. The slightly heavy particle system of the present disclosure applied in wastewater treatment can increase the concentration of microorganisms significantly, improve the ability to bear impact load, produce less sludge, and without sludge expansion. Meanwhile, the means to suspend slightly heavy particles with the combined effect of gas and liquid is able to reduce energy consumption to a larger extent.
