Abstract:
1. A disposal apparatus adapted to treat at least one target compound, the disposal apparatus comprising: a housing having an inlet at a first end of the housing and an outlet at a second end of the housing, the inlet and the outlet defining a direction of fluid flow; a receiving zone defined within the housing, the receiving zone comprising an inlet configured to receive a waste fluid containing at least one target compound; disposed downstream of the receiving zone in the direction of fluid flow and within the housing, a pre-treatment reservoir configured to receive the waste fluid and hold the waste fluid for a predetermined period of time; disposed downstream of the pre-treatment reservoir in the direction of fluid flow and within the housing, a destruction zone configured to receive the waste fluid that is released from the pre-treatment reservoir after the predetermined period of time, and expose the waste fluid to a destruction agent, the destruction agent comprising Fenton's reagent; disposed downstream of the destruction zone in the direction of fluid flow and within the housing, a filtration zone containing a filtration agent adapted to remove a portion of the destruction byproducts from the fluid; and a liquid disposal configured to receive a filter fluid from the filtration zone; wherein the disposal apparatus is configured to prevent the target compound from entering a water system; wherein the destruction zone and the filtration zone are contained in a single replaceable module within the housing, the single replaceable module including a shared porous divider provided between the destruction zone and the filtration zone; and wherein the fluid exiting the destruction zone directly enters the filtration zone by flowing through the shared porous divider.
