System for the treatment of wastewater
View Patent ↗A wastewater treatment system for treating wastewater by processes which include aeration. The system includes an influent conduit for delivery of wastewater to be processed and a treatment tank for processing of the wastewater. Also included is an air conduit for providing compressed air for aeration of the wastewater and a particle size regulation device disposed between the conduit and the tank, wherein the particle size regulation device regulates a size of particles present in the wastewater to provide particle size regulated wastewater. The system also includes at least one aeration jet having a nozzle diameter sized to allow the particle size regulated wastewater to pass through the nozzle.
1. A wastewater treatment system for treating wastewater, comprising:
an influent conduit for delivery of wastewater to be processed;
a treatment tank for processing of said wastewater;
an air conduit for providing compressed air for aeration of said wastewater;
a particle size regulation device disposed between said conduit and said tank, wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater and removes particles above a threshold size to provide particle size regulated wastewater; and
at least one aeration jet having a nozzle diameter sized to allow said particle size regulated wastewater to pass through said nozzle.
2. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said diameter is less than approximately 1.5 inches.
3. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said diameter is less than approximately 1.0 inches.
4. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said particle size regulation device is a screen.
5. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater by shredding.
6. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater by mastication.
7. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said system includes a sequence batch reactor.
8. A system according to claim 1 , wherein said system includes a membrane bioreactor.
9. A wastewater treatment system for treating wastewater, comprising:
an influent conduit for delivery of wastewater to be processed;
a distribution hub;
an aeration wastewater portion for delivering wastewater from said influent conduit to said distribution hub,
a treatment tank for processing of said wastewater;
an air conduit for providing compressed air to said distribution hub for aeration of said wastewater;
a particle size regulation device disposed in said aeration wastewater portion, wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater and removes particles above a threshold size to provide particle size regulated wastewater; and
at least one aeration jet disposed on said distribution hub, said at least one aeration jet having a nozzle diameter sized to allow said particle size regulated wastewater to pass through said nozzle.
10. A system according to claim 9 , wherein said diameter is less than approximately 1.5 inches.
11. A system according to claim 9 , wherein said diameter is less than approximately 1.0 inches.
12. A system according to claim 9 , wherein said particle size regulation device is a screen.
13. A system according to claim 9 , wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater by shredding.
14. A system according to claim 9 , wherein said particle size regulation device reduces a size of particles present in said wastewater by mastication.
