Title: Device for treatment of wastewater
Issue Date: 15-07-2003 File Date: 26-09-2001
Inventor(s): AJIT HARIDAS
IPC Classification: C02F003/28
Abstract: A high-rate reactor system, (applying a high superficial velocity), capable of treating partially soluble, complex, high-strength wastewater. The reactor system is configured in multiple stages and has the ability to retain complex insoluble substrates in a wide range of particle sizes in spatially separate stages for sufficient residence time to enable complete degradation. A vertically oriented vessel has neighboring upper and lower chambers, each chamber having a gas retention space and a liquid retention space. A filter chamber has an inlet communicating with the liquid retention space of the lower chamber and an outlet communicating with the liquid retention space of the upper chamber. A gas conduit communicates the gas retention space of the lower chamber with the gas retention space of the upper chamber. A discharge device enables gas to be periodically discharged from the lower chamber to the upper chamber through the gas conduit.
