    摘要: A biogas treatment process is integrated with a water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water and to provide more effective disinfection of the water. A water wash process is utilized to separate methane and carbon dioxide present in the biogas. During the water wash process, the biogas is mixed with water and the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water. Because the process typically occurs at an elevated pressure and reduced temperature to enhance the solubility of carbon dioxide in water, the water stream becomes supersaturated with carbon dioxide. This water stream, which is supersaturated with carbon dioxide, is provided to the water treatment process to adjust the pH level of the water treatment process. The pH level is regulated to a desired level such that an increased relative concentration of hypochlorous acid is produced when sodium hypochlorite is added to the treatment process.

    摘要: The purpose is to provide a pure water production method and apparatus, which make it possible to prevent the increase in an ion load during a pure water production process, improve the efficiency of a biological treatment and reduce the generation amount of pulverized coal in a method for treating oxidation-treated water in which urea is oxidized and decomposed with a hypohalous acid with biological activated carbon. Provided is a pure water production method including: for adding a hypohalous acid to urea-containing water of interest and performing an oxidation treatment of the urea in an oxidation treatment apparatus; and measuring the concentration of residual chlorine in the oxidation-treated water, then adding hydrogen peroxide to the oxidation-treated water depending on the measured concentration of the residual chlorine, and then performing a biological treatment of the hydrogen peroxide-added water with biological activated carbon in a biological treatment apparatus.

    摘要: As an example embodiment, a system may detect water flow in a well water system and may responsively trigger a pump to inject a chlorinating substance into untreated water from the well. Further, the system may include a contact reservoir that allows the water and the chlorinating substance to combine. In this way, the chlorinating substance is drawn only when needed, but is given the opportunity to achieve time in solution with the untreated water. As a result, bacteria in untreated water may be dispatched, while other organic substances in the untreated water are given the opportunity to settle to the bottom of the contact reservoir. A static mixer may be used to mix the chlorinating substance and the untreated water prior to entering the contact reservoir and/or while in the contact reservoir.

    摘要: A method of automatically controlling chloramine concentration in a body of water contained in a reservoir includes: (a) determining residual chloramine concentration in a water sample obtained from the body of water; (b) determining at least one of the following when the residual chloramine concentration is below a predetermined target chloramine concentration level: (i) an average rate of change in total chlorine concentration; and (ii) an average rate of change in oxidation-reduction potential; and (c) automatically engaging a supply of ammonia and a supply of chlorine to add both ammonia and chlorine to the body of water at a weight ratio of chlorine to ammonia of 5:1 or less when the average rate of change in total chlorine concentration is below a set rate of change and/or the average rate of change in oxidation-reduction potential is above a set rate of change.

    摘要: A method of automatically controlling chloramine concentration in a body of water contained in a reservoir includes: (a) determining residual chloramine concentration in a first water sample obtained from the body of water; (b) automatically engaging a supply of chlorine to add chlorine to the body of water when the residual chloramine concentration in the first water sample is determined to be below a residual chloramine concentration set-point or a first chloramine concentration percentage; (c) determining residual chloramine concentration in a second water sample obtained from the body of water after step (b); and (d) automatically engaging a supply of ammonia and the supply of chlorine to add both ammonia and chlorine to the body of water if the residual chloramine concentration in the second water sample is determined to be below the residual chloramine concentration in the first water sample or a second chloramine concentration percentage.
