Abstract

A mobile sewage treatment and water reclamation system and method of use thereof for rapid deployment to augment existing wastewater systems and/or provide interim service in lieu of permanent facilities, includes: (a) a denaturing stage wherein raw sewage is first ground into suspendable grit, its pH alternatively or collectively lowered to kill acid-sensitive bio-organisms, and raised to kill base-sensitive bio-organisms, and then neutralized; (b) a clarifying stage employing an inverted-cone tank to circulate the solution after injection with chemicals to flocculate small particles for collection in a layer for siphoning off; and (c) a disposal stage wherein clarified water passes through media filters to remove remaining solids and odors, the effluent water being clean enough for irrigation, aquatic life and discharge into waterways; and wherein sterile sludge is pressed into semi-dry solids, then dried, crushed, powdered and bagged for use as high-nitrate biomass fertilizer or for fossil-fuel power co-generation applications.
