20100193433 | Vertical Land-Based Bioreactor - A bioreactor for treating a liquid comprises a container having a vertical wall portion with at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port. The bioreactor also comprises a media support platform securely disposed inside the container at a position below the inlet and outlet ports, and substantially permeable to liquid. The bioreactor comprises at least one cylindrical chamber inside the container at a position above the media support platform. The bioreactor also comprises a plurality of media units topically disposed on the media support platform. The bioreactor comprises a recirculation/aeration system secured at a bottom end of the cylindrical chamber. The recirculation/aeration system has a submersible pump device that can be programmed to pump liquid at variable speeds and has a liquid intake portion having perforations, an air intake tube, and an eductor device. The air intake tube protrudes through a top port of the container. | 08-05-2010 |
20080251449 | FIXED FILM BIOPROCESS FOR REMOVING CARBON COMPOUNDS IN OIL AND GAS DRILLING SLUDGE - A system for recycling drilling sludge is disclosed. The system has a treatment area and a salt-tolerant bio-reactor coupled to the treatment area. The bio-reactor has i) at least one bio-suspension element for supporting the growth of at least one type of biological microorganism within an enclosed flow zone; ii) an agitator for creating a flow of the drilling sludge through the enclosed flow zone at a flow rate; and iii) an aerator for providing a gas to the enclosed flow zone. The system also has a processor coupled to the agitator and configured to create at least a minimum self-cleaning drag force between drilling sludge passing through the enclosed flow zone and the combined at least one type of biological microorganism and the at least one bio-suspension element. A related method and bio-reactor are also disclosed. | 10-16-2008 |
