Patent CA-2918994-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLIAMS MARK SHERMAN
IPC: B23K9/32
Filed: 2014-08-01
Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a pressure regulator for regulating the flow rate of a gas source. The pressure regulator comprises a housing having an inlet in communication with the gas source, an outlet operable to supply a gas at a given pressure and flow rate, a conduit extending between the inlet and the outlet, a restriction device located in the conduit and positionable to control the flow of gas therethrough, a biasing arrangement to apply a predetermined bias to the restriction device and a selection device operable to select one of a predetermined plurality of discrete, offset configurations of the biasing arrangement and restriction device to provide a discrete selection of gas pressures at said outlet. The outlet comprises a fixed-size orifice selected from a specific group of fixed-sized orifices such that the combination of orifice and selectable position of said selection device provide a group of discrete flow rate/pressure combinations to applications downstream of said outlet. By providing such an arrangement, the combination of a predefined set of discrete selectable gas pressures and a section of fixed orifice sizes provides for a selection of particular flow rate/pressure combinations which reduce the likelihood of surge, depending upon the application.

Title: Method and apparatus for wastewater treatment using external selection
Inventor: WETT BERNHARD
IPC: C02F1/38
Filed: 2015-06-30
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for biological wastewater treatment that includes a biological selector and a physical selector. The apparatus comprises an internal biological reactor where wastewater and recycled biomass are combined to provide a high substrate and high electron acceptor gradient for generating morphological biomass features that favor granule formation over floc and filament formation, and an external gravimetric or external screen selector operating on the biomass waste stream for collecting and retaining densified biomass aggregates including dense granule selection and for wasting lighter filaments and flocs. In the method and apparatus, particles may be added to provide cores to promote the formation of aggregates encapsulating the seeded particles. The particles may be added as various materials, for example, in the bioreactor, to initiate or seed the formation of a granule, that could then be separated by or integrated with either the external gravimetric or external screen selector. Further, organisms may be selected for biological phosphorus removal, denitrifying methane oxidizers, biological sulfur or sulfide oxidation, methanogenesis.
