Wastewater treatment system design

摘要

Embodiments of the invention describe components to be utilized on the design, management and implementation of a wastewater treatment system. Said wastewater treatment system may include containers that, for example, may be consistent with ISO specifications for intermodal containers. In some embodiments, these containers act in concert to perform the same wastewater management function (e.g., the containers may function together as equalization basins). In other embodiments, said containers may each perform a separate function (e.g., some containers may function as an aeration tank while others container may function as a membrane basin), or may each perform a plurality of functions. Furthermore, said containers may form an independent wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), or may be utilized to augment a pre-existing WWTP (e.g., a WWTP according to the prior art).

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a plurality of wastewater treatment basins, wherein each of the plurality of wastewater treatment basins comprises a modular removable basin comprising a plurality of compartments, including:
a membrane bioreactor (MBR) compartment;a waste activated sludge (WAS) compartment; anda control compartment comprising circuitry to collect and transmit sensor data from the plurality of compartments of the respective basin indicating the functionality of the compartments, and circuitry to manage operation of the respective basin, including circuitry to bring the respective basin online and offline;a wastewater system configuration controller to:receive sensor data from each of the plurality of wastewater treatment basins;determine a potential processing capacity of a wastewater treatment system having the plurality of wastewater treatment basins based, at least in part, on a capacity of each of the plurality of wastewater treatment basins to receive wastewater input and the received sensor data; anddetermine a system configuration for the wastewater system based, at least in part, on at least one target operational parameter for the wastewater treatment system, wherein the at least one target operational parameter includes a quality level for a wastewater effluent of the wastewater treatment system, and the system configuration is to define a subset of the plurality of wastewater treatment basins to receive wastewater input; a network interface to receive the at least one target operational parameter for the wastewater system and to transmit the system configuration for the wastewater system for the wastewater system to dynamically adjust the configuration of the wastewater treatment system during runtime of the wastewater treatment system; and a storage device to store the received target operational parameter for the wastewater system.
