摘要： A method is presented for biological removal of contaminants like sulfide from ground waters and industrial waters. A fixed film compartmentalized bioreactor or bioreactors are used to convert sulfide to elemental sulfur and the subsequent conversion of the elemental sulfur to sulfates. The present invention uses a packed bed bioreactor configuration that uses packing material to maximize the concentration of sulfide oxidizing bacteria.

摘要： Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for generating electricity from an effluent source. In the presence of electrogenic bacteria and substrate electrodes, an electroactive biofilm is produced which possesses bioconductive capacity for efficiently producing an electric current while treating an effluent source such as, e.g., wastewater. This disclosure relates generally to the production of electricity from a biological source. In particular, this disclosure relates to microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and other bioelectrochemical systems (BES) that exploit an exogenous fuel source.

摘要： A method for continuous in-situ triglyceride stabilization in FOG (Fats, Oil and Grease) commonly referred to as trap grease. The stabilization is achieved by eliminating hydrolysis and thus preventing the BTU rich triglycerides breaking down into free fatty acids (FFA) or the formation of mono- and diglycerides. A closed loop aeration and recirculation of the FOG ensures sufficient dissolved oxygen not only arresting hydrolysis but also eliminating the formation of hydrogen sulfide. The method furthermore employs the formation and continuing functioning of a biofilm for the microbiological reduction of the FOG's sulfur content. A low FFA/high triglycerides concentration as well as sulfur reduction is highly desirable, allowing for easy biodiesel fuel conversion or bio-gasification. The resulting biofuel does not exhibit the typical hygroscopic property found in B100 biodiesel.

摘要： In a waste water treatment apparatus and/or method, waste water containing aminoethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide is introduced into a first denitrification tank within a first waste water treatment apparatus. Malodorous gas generated in the first waste water treatment apparatus is decomposed and treated in a second waste water treatment apparatus where another waste water is treated as another system. The second waste water treatment apparatus has a second nitrification tank including a semi-anaerobic section. The malodorous gas is introduced from the first waste water treatment apparatus into a scrubber. The malodorous gas is treated by sludge which is circulated between the second nitrification tank and the scrubber.
