  3. Activated sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_sludge

    Activated sludge tank at Beckton sewage treatment plant, UK.The white bubbles are due to the diffused air aeration system. The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.

  4. Sequencing batch reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequencing_batch_reactor

    The quantity or “age” of sludge within the tank is closely monitored, as this can have a marked effect on the treatment process. The sludge is allowed to settle until clear water is on the top 20 to 30 percent of the tank contents. The decanting stage most commonly involves the slow lowering of a scoop or “trough” into the basin.

  5. Rotating biological contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_biological_contactor

    Schematic diagram of a typical rotating biological contactor (RBC). The treated effluent clarifier/settler is not included in the diagram. A rotating biological contactor or RBC is a biological fixed-film treatment process used in the secondary treatment of wastewater following primary treatment.

  6. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    These water treatments often include compounds forming a sludge to entrap such particles; and boilers intended for such water treatment include a structure called a mud drum at the lowest part of the boiler. Bottom blowdown involves periodically opening valves in the mud drum to allow boiler pressure to force accumulated sludge out of the boiler.

  7. Shit flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shit_flow_diagram

    A shit flow diagram (also called excreta flow diagram or SFD) is a high level technical drawing used to display how excreta moves through a location, and functions as a tool to identify where improvements are needed. [1] The diagram has a particular focus on treatment of the waste, and its final disposal or use.

  8. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Industrial_wastewater_treatment

    An industrial wastewater treatment plant may include one or more of the following rather than the conventional treatment sequence of sewage treatment plants: An API oil-water separator, for removing separate phase oil from wastewater. [43]: 180 A clarifier, for removing solids from wastewater. [44]: 41–15

  9. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

    Supercritical water exists at temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 220 atmospheres. Diagram of a supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactor. A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power.
