Claims16
A water treatment system comprising:
- an enclosure for water to be treated;
- a multiplicity of biomass carriers located within said enclosure;
- at least one airlift in said enclosure for raising said water and said biomass carriers;
- and
- at least one mechanical biomass carrier accumulated residue removal apparatus operative to remove accumulated residue from said biomass carriers.
For use in a water treatment system comprising an enclosure for water to be treated, a multiplicity of biomass carriers located within said enclosure and at least one airlift in said enclosure for raising said water and said biomass carriers,
- a mechanical biomass carrier accumulated residue removal apparatus operative for removing accumulated residue from said biomass carriers.
A method for removing accumulated residue from biomass carriers in a water treatment system, said water treatment system including an enclosure for water to be treated and a multiplicity of biomass carriers located within said enclosure, the method comprising:
- removing residue burdened biomass carriers from said enclosure;
- applying a shear force to said residue burdened biomass carriers, thereby causing detachment of residue therefom and providing residue removed biomass carriers;
- and
- returning said residue removed biomass carriers to said enclosure.
