Abstract
A dispersion for use with an effluent treatment system, and methods of making and using such a dispersion, whereby the dispersion includes an amount of polymer substantially uniformly dispersed within an aqueous solvent; wherein the dispersion is generated by combining an amount of gas with the amount of polymer and the aqueous solvent, the amount of gas effective to substantially uniformly disperse the amount of polymer within the aqueous solvent.
Claims50
A dispersion for use with an effluent treatment system, said dispersion comprising:
- an amount of polymer substantially uniformly dispersed within an aqueous solvent;
- wherein said dispersion is generated by combining an amount of gas with said amount of polymer and said aqueous solvent, said amount of gas effective to substantially uniformly disperse said amount of polymer within said aqueous solvent.
A method of making a dispersion for use with an effluent treatment system, said method comprising:
- combining an amount of gas with an amount of polymer and an aqueous solvent;
- wherein said amount of gas is effective to substantially uniformly disperse said amount of polymer within said aqueous solvent.
A method of recovering tallow from effluent, said method comprising:
- providing a dispersion comprising an amount of polymer substantially uniformly dispersed within an aqueous solvent;
- and
- combining said dispersion with said effluent within a dissolved air flotation system to generate a float comprising solids, water, and a mixture of fats, oils, and greases.
A portable effluent treatment system for recovering tallow from effluent, said portable effluent treatment system comprising:
- a mixing chamber in which a dispersion is generated, said dispersion comprising an amount of polymer substantially uniformly dispersed within an aqueous solvent;
- and
- a dissolved air flotation system in fluidic communication with said mixing chamber;
- wherein in said dissolved air flotation system, said dispersion is combined with said effluent to generate a float comprising solids, water, and a mixture of fats, oils, and greases.
