System and method of utilizing hydrodynamic cavitation and biological agents to treat wastewater

Abstract

A method for treating wastewater generated by vehicle wash facilities is provided. The method comprises subjecting wastewater to hydrodynamic cavitation and generating, based on the cavitation, hyper-oxygenated water with nanobubbles possessing positive and negative charges. The method also comprises introducing biological agents into the hyper-oxygenated water and catalyzing reactions, facilitated at least by the biological agents, between the nanobubbles and impurities in the hyper-oxygenated water, the catalyzing causing attachment and disintegration of soil particles and contaminants. The method also comprises utilizing the hyper-oxygenated water to promote aerobic bacterial growth while suppressing anaerobic bacteria, the bacteria generating hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). The method also comprises reusing the hyper-oxygenated water in the vehicle wash process. The hydrodynamic cavitation generates nanobubbles that attach to impurities, facilitating their breakdown of the impurities and removal of the impurities from the wastewater. The biological agents are aerobic bacteria that outcompete anaerobic bacteria, reducing odors.
