Methods, Devices, and Systems for Creating Highly Adsorptive Precipitates

A system for removal of contaminants from a liquid, the system comprising:

• an inlet carrying a quantity of liquid;
• a preliminary treatment station, wherein a plurality of organic material is removed from the quantity of liquid;
• a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the preliminary treatment station, wherein a quantity of precipitate is separated from the quantity of liquid within the mixing chamber, wherein the mixing chamber comprising:
• a length of pipe having a hollow interior;
• and
• a plurality of perforated discs stationarily positioned within the hollow interior in at least a portion of the length of pipe, wherein each of the plurality of perforated discs has a curved profile, wherein a middle portion of each of the plurality of perforated discs is offset from a radial edge of each of the plurality of perforated discs, respectively, wherein at least a first of the plurality of perforated discs is positioned in opposition to at least a second of the plurality of perforated discs and the first perforated disc and the second perforated disc are orientated differently;
• a secondary filter system receiving the quantity of water and the quantity of separated precipitate from the mixing chamber, wherein the quantity of separated precipitate is removed from the quantity of water;
• and
• a chemical treatment system receiving the quantity of water from the secondary filter system.

A method for removing contaminants from a liquid, the method comprising the steps of:

• removing a plurality of organic material from a quantity of liquid within a preliminary treatment station;
• separating a quantity of precipitate from the quantity of liquid within a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the preliminary treatment station, whereby the quantity of precipitate and the quantity of liquid flow through a plurality of perforated discs stationarily positioned within a hollow interior in at least a portion of a length of pipe, wherein each of the plurality of perforated discs has a curved profile, wherein a middle portion of each of the plurality of perforated discs is offset from a radial edge of each of the plurality of perforated discs, respectively, wherein at least a first of the plurality of perforated discs is positioned in opposition to at least a second of the plurality of perforated discs and the first perforated disc and the second perforated disc are orientated differently;
• filtering the quantity of water and the quantity of separated precipitate within a secondary filter system in fluid communication with the mixing chamber, wherein the quantity of separated precipitate is removed from the quantity of water;
• and
• chemically treating the quantity of water after the secondary filter system.
