Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a membrane filtration mechanism operable to receive an influent water stream containing a contaminant and to separate at least a first portion of the contaminant from a resulting first effluent water stream; and, a continuously regenerating radial moving bed media filter comprising a filter media having a metal salt reagent positioned on a surface of the filter media and further operable to receive the first effluent water stream effective that a second portion of the contaminant adheres to the metal salt reagent positioned on the surface, and wherein the continuously regenerating radial moving bed media filter is configured to clean the metal salt reagent and the adhering second portion of the contaminant from the surface in a waste stream while the cleaned filter media is recycled to receive additional first effluent water to continuously produce a resultant second effluent stream.
