<p>Improved fluidized bed precipitators (20, 46, 62, 74, 108, 112, 134, 168) especially useful for the treatment of waste waters containing soluble phosphorus are provided, having upright, primary fluidized bed sections (22, 48, 64, 76, 1 10, 1 14, 136) and obliquely oriented solids settling sections (28, 54, 68, 120, 144) which enhance the settling of small particles (166) and return thereof to the fluidized bed sections (22, 48, 64, 76, 110, 1 14, 136). The precipitators (20, 46, 62, 74, 108, 1 12, 134, 168) may also be equipped with a solids detection/withdrawal assembly (178) made up of one or more pressure transducers (180,182) operable to determine the pressures within the fluidized bed sections 22, 48, 64, 76, 110, 1 14, 136) as a measure of bed densities, along with a selectively operable valve (172) which may be opened to periodically remove solids without clogging. The precipitators (20, 46, 62, 74, 108, 112, 134, 168) may be used to control soluble phosphorus levels in single- or multiple lagoon (184, 186) waste water systems.</p> |
