Abstract:
1. A portable, floating aeration and microbial reactor system for cleaning sewage water, the aeration and microbial reactor system comprising: a rigid, semi-open and stable housing frame having two side walls and a back wall to half of its height, the housing frame further having a plurality of buoyant members attached on its sides such that the top portion of the housing frame remains afloat when it is submerged in sewage water of various density; an aeration sub-system further having a blower attached mechanically and sitting on top of the housing frame, a flat aeration grid device extending horizontally across the entire width and attached in the bottom half of said housing frame, the aeration grid device further comprises a plurality of porous plastic pipes having a gas permeable wall of thermoset polymer particles and thermoplastic binder in a minor amount thereby bonding said polymer particles and creating a substantially uniform porosity through the pipe wall along the length of the pipe, said porosity provided by a plurality of micropores having an average diameter of about 0.001 inch to about 0.004 inch along the length of said pipe for diffusion of gas therethrough and transfer to a medium, said thermoset polymer particles having a mesh size of about 60 to about 140 mesh, a plurality of air hoses connecting said blower to said aeration grid device; a microbial reactor sub-system further having an air pump attached mechanically and sitting on top of the housing frame, an elongated, tubular and externally perforated microbial reactor portion extending essentially horizontally across the entire width of said housing frame and underneath said aeration grid device, the microbial reactor portion further comprises an inner aeration tube powered by said air pump, an perforated outside tube further having a plurality of slots, microbial media containing live bacteria imbedded within said slots, an air hose connecting said air pump to said microbial reactor portion.
