Claims20
An apparatus for processing industrial effluent, the apparatus comprising:
- an annular body having an inner surface and an outer surface defining one or more chambers for retaining exchange media, the inner and outer surfaces defining a plurality of apertures, the inner surface defining a central volume in fluid communication with a central aperture at a first end of the annular body;
- wherein, when rotated in a volume of fluid, the annular body facilitates fluid flow into the central volume via the central aperture, into the one or more chambers via the apertures defined by the inner surface, and out the apertures defined by the outer surface.
A method for processing industrial effluent, the method comprising:
- positioning, in a volume of fluid, a rotating bed apparatus comprising one or more chambers retaining exchange media;
- and
- rotating the rotating bed apparatus to facilitate fluid flow through the one or more chambers of the rotating bed apparatus.
