Patent CA-2790517-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NYHUIS GEERT
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 2011-02-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the biological purification of ammonium-containing wastewater, in particular at between 7 and 25°C, in an aeration tank (3) in which the ammonium (NH4) that is present in the wastewater is reacted at a predetermined oxygen concentration to form elemental nitrogen (N2). The excess sludge formed in the reaction is fed at least in part to a sludge digestion, during which the organic components of the sludge are converted to gas. The sludge is then fed to a sludge dewatering and the highly nitrogenous warm sludge water separated off from the sludge, which sludge water has in particular a nitrogen concentration of 500 to 2000 mg/l and a temperature of about 25 to 39°C is then fed to a deammonification tank (18). In the deammonification tank (18), the nitrogen compounds (NH4, organic nitrogen) present in the sludge water are converted by deammonification to elemental nitrogen (N2). According to the invention it is provided that an excess sludge formed in the deammonification of the sludge water is fed to the aeration tank (3) and in the aeration tank (3) a low oxygen concentration of less than 1.0 mg/l is set, in such a manner that the ammonium (NH4) present in the wastewater is first reacted by means of aerobically oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to form nitrite (NO2) and is then converted to elemental nitrogen (N2) by means of anaerobically oxidizing bacteria (ANAMMOX), in particular Planctomycetes, ammonium (NH4) and nitrite (NO2), wherein the excess sludge formed during this deammonification in the aeration tank (3), before it is fed to the sludge digestion, is separated into a heavy sludge phase which predominantly contains the anaerobically ammonium (NH4)-oxidizing bacteria (ANAMMOX) and a light sludge phase, wherein the heavy sludge phase is recirculated to the aeration tank (3) and the light sludge phase is fed as excess sludge to the sludge digestion.

Abstract: A interactive electrostatic field high energy storage AC blocking capacitor in which a first a first embodiment of the invention comprises a charging plate in the form of an active interactive electrostatic field charging plate (10) being formed from electric conducting material into a three longitudinal parallel partially separated sectioned closed continuous electrical loop, comprising a mid-section (12) and two outer sections (13 and 14), one at each side of the mid-section. The charging plate in the form of an active interactive electrostatic field charging plate (10) is capacitively coupled to a negative plate (27) by a dielectric (material 22) and the negative plate (27) is provided with a connector (15) for connection to an electric circuit.

When the active electrostatic field reversing charging plate is charged, the charging current flows around the mid-section (12) of the active interactive electrostatic field charging plate (10) charging it, creating an electrostatic field, which is concentrated along its outer edges. The same charging current then flows in the opposite direction around the two outer sections (13) and (14) charging them and creating an opposing concentrated electrostatic field along their outer edges. This ensures that the charge is evenly distributed in the dielectric material (22) around the active interactive electrostatic field charging plate by which the interactive electrostatic field charging plate (10) is capacitively coupled to the negative plate (27). Eliminating all localized electrostatic field concentrations, increasing the voltage at which it can be charged, thereby increasing electric energy storage capacity and being able to block AC current.
