Title: Waste treatment apparatus

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6227002

A waste treatment apparatus provides a cylindrical vessel adapted to receive a waste water flow therethrough to be treated. The vessel provides an aeration chamber at the outer peripheral portion thereof, with a desirable generally helical flow being generated by aeration bubbles striking angularly deposed baffle plates. A clarifier is provided at the central portion of the cylindrical vessel for clarifying a liquid which enters the clarifier from the aeration chamber. The clarifier comprises a first settling chamber and a second decant chamber through which clear water is collected and transmitted to a chlorination chamber for subsequent discharge. The angularly deposed baffle plates are mounted in the upper portion of the aeration chamber and aid in spinning waste water in a circular or curved path. Likewise, a pair of aeration diffusers mounted in the lower portion of the aeration chamber near the center of the cylindrical vessel move waste water to be treated upwardly and outwad in the shaft are sucked do pyrolysis chamber where they are covered bye chosen metal dihalide vapor is ionized by ; the total economic market potential is 64.4% of the technical potential, or 2072.4 MW, equivalent to 83,621 BPDE; and the lack of an operating history-detailing system reliability, safety, and operating costs-iment and test components; technology testing; analytmperature fatigue stren obtained.
