Abstract:
A method of treating a contaminated fluid stream, comprising:providing a plurality of fluid-treatment zones that comprises at least a carbon adsorption zone to treat a contaminated fluid stream; sensing a characteristic of a flow of a contaminated fluid stream to a carbon adsorption zone; remotely monitoring said sensing; determining a treatment process scheme for treating said contaminated fluid stream, said determining comprising deciding a sequence of fluid-treatment zones through which said contaminated fluid stream flows; remotely providing signals as a result of said determining to fluid control devices associated with an operation of said fluid-treatment zones to actuate said fluid control devices to carry out said treatment process scheme; treating said contaminated fluid stream according to said treatment process scheme to remove at least a contaminant in said contaminated fluid stream to a level such that a treated fluid stream is dischargeable into an environment.
