The sewage treatment apparatus of the present invention comprises: a membrane separation active-sludge treating section which performs a biological treatment on a part of sewage, which is introduced by a water introducing section while flowing through a sewer trunk line, to generate first treated sewage; a membrane highly treating section which performs a membrane high treatment on said first treated sewage to generate second treated sewage; a membrane treating tank which stores said first treated sewage; a membrane highly treating tank which stores said second treated sewage; water level sensors which respectively measure water level of said membrane treating tank and said membrane highly treating tank; and a power-control section which controls water introducing quantity of said water introducing section on the basis of the water level data measured by said water level sensors. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100252489 | SEWAGE REUSE SYSTEM - The present patent aims to control and adjust water storing quantities of a plurality of treated sewage tanks distributed along a sewer trunk line by a unified management. The sewage reuse system of the present invention distributes a plurality of reuse water supply sections, each consisting of a water introducing opening formed in a sewer trunk line; a treated sewage tank for storing reuse water that has been generated through a sewage treatment; and a water level sensor for measuring a water level of the treated sewage tank, in a demand area of reuse water along the sewer trunk line, and comprises: a movable sewage treatment section which moves to any of the plurality of water introducing openings; performs the sewage treatment to generate reuse water; and supplies the generated reuse water to the treated sewage tank, a communication section which transmits the water level data measured by the water level sensor, and a central control section which controls a water storing quantity of the treated sewage tank on the basis of the demand information of reuse water and the water level data received from the communication section. | 10-07-2010 |
