[0001] The present invention relates to an industrial wastewater treatment device that aims to purify wastewater of industries by removing contaminants like sediments, solids, and microorganisms, ensuring safe use in production processes, along with reducing consumption of water in industry operations and reducing by recycling the wastewater.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The industrial wastewater often contains harmful pollutants like heavy metals, chemicals, oils, plastics, and toxic substances, which poses significant environmental risks. When untreated or improperly treated wastewater enters into natural waterbodies then pollute water bodies, harming aquatic life and disrupting ecosystems. The discharge of such wastewater leads to the contamination of drinking water sources, affecting both human health and wildlife. Additionally, chemicals in the wastewater degrades soil quality, making it unsuitable for agriculture. The environmental impact of industrial wastewater is far-reaching, contributing to water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, and long-term ecosystem damage.

[0003] Traditionally, industrial wastewater is treated through a combination of physical, chemical, and biological methods. These methods include processes like sedimentation, filtration, chemical coagulation, and activated sludge treatment to remove solids, toxins, and organic matter. However, these methods have several drawbacks. The treatment process is often time-consuming, requiring long retention times for effective removal of contaminants and lead to inefficiencies in high-volume industries where continuous treatment is needed. Moreover, traditional methods often require significant manual intervention for monitoring and adjusting chemical dosages, managing sludge, and ensuring proper operation of equipment. This reliance on manual labor increases the risk of human error, delays in treatment, and inconsistent water quality. Additionally, traditional methods may not effectively treats pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, making less adaptable to the changing needs of industries and environmental regulations.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to an industrial wastewater treatment device that facilitates industries in easy treatment of wastewater containing impurities like sediments, particles, and microbes from the water, thereby lowering the the amount of water used in industry operations as well as reduces the environmental effect of industry wastewater on natural waterbodies. Throughout the water purification process, the device requires very little human intervention.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an industrial wastewater treatment device is illustrated, comprising a cuboidal housing 101 having a storage tank 102, a first suction unit 103 is configured with an inlet port 104 associated with the tank 102, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed in the housing 101, a dual axis lead screw mechanism 106 installed with an upper inner surface of the housing 101 above the tank 102, having a second suction unit 107 downwardly mounted with the lead screw mechanism 106 by means of telescopic link 108, a plurality of containers 109 installed in the housing 101, a plurality of treatment chambers 110 connected with each of the containers 109 by means of conduits 111, a connecting pipe 112 attached between tank 102 and each chambers 110, a motorized agitator 113 arranged in each chamber 110, an aeration unit 114 installed in each of the chambers 110, a filtration vessel 115 disposed in the housing 101, and a storage receptacle 116 within the housing 101.

[0024] The device developed herein features a cuboidal housing 101 positioned over a flat and fixed surface. The housing 101 is developed a protective exterior of the device and the components associated with the device are mounted in and over the housing 101. The housing 101 is preferably made up of water resistant materials that resists moisture, light rain, or splashes without being damaged and corroded. Along with housing 101, the components associated with the device needs to be made of water resistant material as prolonged immersion in water cause them to absorb moisture or lose their protective properties. The housing 101 is provided with an inlet port 104 that a concerned person needs to connect with outlet of industrial water pipeline, containing pollutants, for receiving the water to be treated into the storage tank 102.

[0025] The housing 101 is integrated with a microcontroller that acts as the central control unit in the device and responsible for executing the pre-programmed instructions, and controls outputs. The microcontroller enables automation, real-time responses, and communication between different components of the device.

[0026] The device is wirelessly associated with a computing unit of the concerned person to enable the person to access a user interface module inbuilt in the computing unit, for providing input to the device regarding treatment of water received in the tank 102.

[0027] The computing unit is wirelessly associated with the device, enabling remote control and communication, wherein computing unit is linked wirelessly with the microcontroller via a communication module that includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The user interface module that has been inbuilt in the computing unit, serves as a bridge between the user and the microcontroller, allowing for a user-friendly way to input commands regarding the treatment of the plant. The user interface module presents information and options to the user through options, sliders, or other visual images, where the user interacts by typing commands or selecting options from the user-interface module regarding proceeding, initiating or halting the treatment, and the inputted options are received to the microcontroller that accordingly initiates command for initiating the treatment process.

[0028] On getting the command, the microcontroller actuates a first suction unit 103 configured with the inlet port 104 for suctioning of industrial wastewater into the tank 102. The first suction unit 103 comprises of an inlet duct, impeller vane, outlet duct and all these components are assembled in an involute casing. The impeller vane is directly coupled with the shaft of a DC motor associated with the pump which on getting actuated by the microcontroller, enables the rotation of the impeller vane. The impeller vane designed in such a way that on rotation generates a series of vortex motions formed by the centrifugal movement of the impeller vane and this motion of the impeller vane cause creation of negative pressure within the involute casing and as a result polluted water is sucked within the involute casing continuously through the inlet duct and transferred outside through the outlet duct and then into the tank 102.

[0029] As soon as the first suction unit 103 starts transferring of the polluted water into the tank 102, the microcontroller actuates a spectrophotometer installed in the tank 102 that works in synchronisation with an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105, installed in the housing 101 for detecting a type of pollutant in the wastewater. The spectrophotometer operates by measuring the intensity of light absorbed by the water coming into the tank 102 from the outlet duct of the first suction unit 103, at specific wavelengths. The spectrophotometer includes a light source (often a tungsten or deuterium lamp) that on actuation emits broad-spectrum light, and a monochromator (prism or diffraction grating) to isolate narrow wavelengths of light. As light beam passes through the wastewater, the light is partially reflected and refracted that depends on the wastewater properties, particularly the concentration of specific analytes such as heavy metals, organic compounds, or nitrates, absorb light at different wavelengths. The absorbed and transmitted light correlates with the concentration of the pollutant, which is quantified using Beer-Lambert's law. The transmitted light is detected by a photodetector integrated in spectrophotometer that converts the light intensity into an electrical signal and that is sent to the microcontroller.

[0030] Simultaneously, the imaging unit 105 continuously captures the visuals of inner side of the tank 102 for locating the floating and partially immersed pollutants. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 captures multiple images of the inner surroundings of the tank 102. The imaging unit 105 consists of multiple high-resolution cameras for capturing multiple images from different angles and perspectives and providing comprehensive coverage of the tank 102. Before analysis, the captured image goes through pre-processing steps to enhance image quality which includes adjusting brightness and contrast and removing any distortions. The processed images are then sent to a processor linked with the imaging unit 105. The processor processes the captured images by means of an artificial intelligence protocol encrypted within the microcontroller. The microcontroller uses artificial intelligence protocol like Convolution Neural Network (CNN) for detecting distinctive patterns or characteristics in the image presence of pollutants such as heavy metals, organic compounds. Once potential features are detected, the microcontroller localizes them by identifying their positions within the image. This involves finding their coordinates of partially or fully floating pollutants.

[0031] The microcontroller analyses the results from the both spectrophotometer and the imaging unit 105 and detects type of pollutant in the wastewater. Post detection of the type of the pollutant, the microcontroller scrutinize a database connected with the microcontroller. The database is pre-fed with information regarding type of pollutant vanishing material required for treating specific type of waste/pollutant present in the waste water. Post scrutinizing the database, the microcontroller initiates relative command for neutralising each type of pollutants present in the water.

[0032] Post evaluation, the microcontroller directs the user interface module to display the evaluated type of pollutant vanishing material required for treatment, as a means of suggestions and the only thing the user has to do is to select options illustrated in user-interface module, either to proceed or not. In case the user opts to proceed then the microcontroller actuates a telescopic link 108 suspended from upper inner surface of the housing 101 above the tank 102, by means of a dual axis lead screw mechanism 106.

[0033] On actuation, the link 108 extends downward to immerse a second suction unit 107 that is attached with the link 108, in close to bottom of the tank 102. The extension of the link 108 is powered by a pneumatic unit associated with an air compressor, air valves, and a piston. The air compressor extracts the air from surrounding and increases the pressure of the air by reducing the volume of the air. The air compressor is comprises of two main parts including a motor and a pump. The motor powers the compressor pump which uses the energy from the motor drive to draw in atmospheric air and compress to elevated pressure. The compressed air is then sent through a discharge tube into the cylinder across the valve. The compressed air in the cylinder tends to pushes out the piston to extend which extends the link 108, resulting in immersion of the second suction unit 107, till the bottom of the tank 102.

[0034] After extending the link 108 up-to predefined height that has been pre-fed into the database in accordance to the dimension and position of tank 102, the microcontroller directs the pneumatic unit to stop further extension, followed by actuation of the second suction unit 107 that works in similar manner as of first suction unit 103, to generate negative pressure to extract the heavy pollutants deposited on bottom of the tank 102.

[0035] As soon as the microcontroller initiates the command for actuation of the second suction unit 107, the microcontroller simultaneously actuates the dual axis lead screw mechanism 106 for moving the second suction unit 107 gradually for enabling the second suction unit 107 to extract the waste deposited on the bottom. The dual-axis lead screw mechanism 106 comprises of two lead screws, each controlling movement along one axis (typically horizontal and vertical). As the lead screws rotate, they drive nuts along their threads, causing the second suction unit 107 to move smoothly in both directions. The dual-axis control allows fine-tuned positioning of the second suction unit 107, enabling the second suction unit 107 to gradually adjust its position over the bottom surface and efficiently extract waste deposited on the bottom.

[0036] The working of the second suction unit 107 is regulated by the microcontroller in accordance to the presence of the pollutants on the bottom surface as detected by an ultrasonic sensor (not shown in figure 1) embedded in the second suction unit 107. The ultrasonic sensor emits high-frequency waves in vicinity and measures the time it takes for the waves to bounce back after hitting the pollutants (if deposited over the surface) and sends the data to the microcontroller which processes the acquired data and detects the presence of the pollutants and accordingly working of the mechanism 106 and the second suction unit 107 is regulated to extract the pollutants effectively.

[0037] Further, the housing 101 embodies plurality of containers 109 each dedicated towards storage of pollutant pollutant vanishing material s whose information are already been fed into the database to be added into the industrial water for treatment of the wastewater. Also a plurality of treatment chambers 110 housed in the housing 101 and interconnected with each container 109 via conduits 111. Each chambers 110 are also connected with tank 102 by means of connecting pipe 112 and each conduits 111 and connecting pipes 112 is installed with a flow controlling valve and a dedicated pump. Post scrutinizing the database, the microcontroller evaluates the type of chamber 110 in which the wastewater is to be transferred in accordance to the detected type of pollutant, for neutralising pollutants present in the water. Post evaluation the microcontroller actuates the pump and valve of evaluated chamber 110, for transferring the water into the evaluated chamber 110.

[0038] The pump used herein is a centrifugal type pump comprises of two main parts including a motor and a propeller. The motor rotates the propeller which uses the energy from the motor drive to draw in waste water into the chamber 110, simultaneously the microcontroller actuates flow controlled valve to be opened and allow transfer of wastewater into chamber 110. The flow controlled valve comprises of a gate and a magnetic coil which is energized by the microcontroller, on energizing the magnetic coil force is generated which pushes the gate to open thus allowing the waste water in the chamber 110.

[0039] Once the wastewater gets filled in the chamber 110, the microcontroller actuates the pump and flow controlled valve of the conduits 111 connecting the container 109 having evaluated type of pollutant vanishing material s, with the chamber 110, in view of pouring evaluated type of material into the chamber 110 that has already been filled with the waste water.

[0040] Post pouring, the microcontroller actuates a motorized agitator 113 arranged in the chambers 110, for mixing of the material with the wastewater for allowing the pollutant vanishing material to neutralize the specific pollutants, wherein the partially purified wastewater is received from the tank 102 via a connecting pipe 112 and each of the chambers 110 is provided with a motorized agitator 113 for mixing of the material with the wastewater for efficient neutralisation of the pollutant.

[0041] The agitator 113 mixes utilize a motor to rotate a set of blades or paddles submerged in the water. The motor drives a shaft connected to the agitator 113, causing it to spin and create turbulence within the wastewater poured with the materials. This motion facilitates the mixing process by promoting the movement of material, ensuring uniform distribution of materials for effective neutralization of the water.

[0042] In case the user via the computing unit provides command for regulation of temperature of treatment chamber 110 or provides command regarding maintaining a specific temperature, then the microcontroller actuates a temperature sensor (not shown in figure 1) embedded in the chamber 110 to detect current temperature of the wastewater.

[0043] The temperature sensor consists a conductive sensing element. On varying the temperature, the resistance of conductive element deviates which results in fluctuation in voltage flow across the sensing element. The voltage fluctuation cause the current to flow across the sensing element is detected by the microcontroller in form of electric pulse. Further the microcontroller evaluate the amplitude of the electric pulse to determine the temperature of wastewater.

[0044] Based on the current temperature of wastewater and inputted temperature range by the user, the microcontroller actuates a Peltier unit integrated in each of the chambers 110 to generate warm/cooling effect for maintaining inputted temperature of the wastewater being treated in the chamber 110. The Peltier unit employed herein is based on the Peltier effect that stated that the cooling of one junction and the heating of the other when electric current is maintained in a circuit of material consisting of two dissimilar conductors. The Peltier effect related to production or absorption of heat at the junction of two metals on the passage of a current. Based on the user-specified temperature and current temperature of wastewater, the Peltier unit generates the heating/cooling effect in order to maintain the user-specified temperature water being treated for effective neutralization of the wastewater. For example, if the current temperature of the waste water is below specified temperature then peltier unit generates heating effect to raise temperature upto specified range and in other case if current temperature of wastewater is detected to be above specified temperature, the microcontroller directs the peltier unit to reverse its functionality to generate cooling effect to maintain temperature in specified range, for effective neutralization of the wastewater.

[0045] While water is being treated into the chamber 110, the microcontroller actuates an aeration unit 114 installed in each of the chambers 110 for dissolving oxygen into the wastewater. The aerator unit creates turbulence and increasing the surface area of water exposed to air. The aeration unit 114 comprises a nozzle connected with an oxygen cylinder, and a motorized flap coupled with a motor-driven mechanism 106. The nozzle releases oxygen into the water. When the oxygen flows through the nozzle, released as fine bubbles, increasing the surface area for oxygen absorption. The agitation forces air into the water, either by direct contact with the water's surface or by injecting fine air bubbles through a diffuser. The increased surface area from bubbles or splashing allows oxygen from the air to dissolve into the water more efficiently for allowing oxidization in view of effective neutralization.

[0046] A filter vessel 115 is installed adjacent to the chambers 110 and have multiple inlets that are connected with chambers 110 by means of pipelines. A timer module is integrated in the microcontroller for keeping track of time over water treatment process in the chambers 110 and on completion of an evaluated duration, the microcontroller actuates an electronic gate configured in the pipelines to opened and allow treated water to pass through the filter vessel 115. The filter vessel 115 comprises a plurality of filtration layers including sediment filters, carbon filter, ultrafiltration membrane and a UV (ultraviolet) that work together to progressively separate contaminants, improving the water quality. When the water is passed through the layers, the insoluble impurities present in the water are separated from the water and the filtered water is transferred into a storage receptacle 116 within the housing 101 via outlet of the vessel 115.

[0047] The sediment filters are designed to remove larger particles such as dirt, sand, silt, and rust from the water. These filters physically trap particles and debris, preventing them from entering into the receptacle 116. The next stage often includes the carbon filter, typically made of activated carbon which works through adsorption, where contaminants adhere to the surface of the carbon. The carbon filter improves the taste and odor of the water and removes harmful chemicals. The Ultrafiltration Membrane (UF) After the carbon filter, the water passes through an ultrafiltration membrane. Ultrafiltration is a membrane filtration process that uses a semi-permeable membrane with pores, small enough to remove finer particles, including bacteria, viruses, and larger organic molecules. Ultrafiltration is effective in removing contaminants that are not captured by the sediment or carbon filters, ensuring cleaner water. The final step is UV (Ultraviolet) disinfection where the water is exposed to ultraviolet light, which is highly effective at disinfecting the water by inactivating bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. The UV light damages the DNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and making them harmless and after final step, the cleaned and treated water is transferred into the receptacle 116.

[0048] Each of the chambers 110 feature a pH sensor (not shown in figure 1) to detect a pH of the wastewater. The pH sensor comprises of an indicator electrode and reference electrode. The indictor electrode consists of a glass membrane, that is sensitive to hydrogen ion concentration of stored water and the glass electrode potential varies from sample to sample. The reference electrode is standard and has constant potential. The reference electrode does not respond to stored water. The pH meter measures and compares the potential difference between both indicator electrode and reference electrode and determine the pH level of the stored water and that is displayed on the the computing unit of the user. to

[0049] Throughout the treatment process, a level sensor (not shown in figure 1) that is embedded in each of the containers 109 continuously monitors a level of the material in the container 109. The level sensor used herein is an ultrasonic-based level sensor is also known as ultrasonic level gauge. It is a non-contact type of level sensor which monitors the level of material remaining in any container 109 and it is mounted on the top of the container 109. The ultrasonic-based level sensor comprises of an ultrasonic transducer which is emits high-frequency sound waves in downward direction towards the material surface. When the emitted ultrasonic waves encounter the material surface, get partially reflected back toward the transducer. Further, the ultrasonic level sensor measures the time of flight of waves to travel from the transducer to the material surface and back to the transducer. Further based on the time of travel of the waves, the distance between the transducer and liquid surface is measured and based on which the microcontroller monitors the level of the material remaining in the containers 109. At any instance, if the level of material in any chamber 110, recedes a threshold level, the microcontroller sends a notification regarding refilling of the containers 109, to the computing unit to notify the user regarding refilling.

[0050] The present invention works well in the following manner where the housing 101 is positioned on a flat and fixed surface and wit the tank 102 the outlet of the industry is connected in a manner that first suction unit 103 extracts the water from the outlet and transfer the wastewater in the tank 102. The user has to give input command for initiating the treatment process via the computing unit and then accordingly the microcontroller executes further operations associated in the treating process. Once the tank 102 get filled, the microcontroller actuates the telescopic link 108 to extend and immerse second suction unit 107 in tank 102 to allow the second suction unit 107 to extract the solid waste deposited on bottom. In next step, the imaging unit 105 works in sync with the spectrophotometer to detect type of pollutants present in the water and accordingly the microcontroller evaluates the pollutant vanishing material required for treating the specific types of pollutants. Based on the evaluation done by the microcontroller, the microcontroller actuates the flow control valves and pumps to transfer the water from tank 102 to a particular chamber 110 where pollutant vanishing material are poured and mixed with water by the agitator 113, for allowing the chemicals to neutralize the pollutants. In next step the neutralized water comes out of chambers 110 and passed through the filtration vessel 115 for purifying the water more and at last the water is transferred to the receptacle 116 where the water is ready to be reused for industrial purposes. During the neutralization of the wastewater in the chamber 110 the temperature sensor detects temperature of water and in case determined to be mismatching with a user-specified range, then the Peltier unit generate heating or cooling effect, decided by the microcontroller in accordance to the output of the temperature sensor, for maintaining user-specified temperature of the water for effective neutralization. When the water is being treated into the chambers 110, the aeration unit 114s dissolve oxygen into the water for effective neutralization of the pollutants. The device continuously monitors pollutant vanishing material remaining into the device and sends updates to the computing unit of the user on regular basis for preventing the shortage of the material during the treatment process. The device also monitors pH values of water and send the data to the user to enable the user to make adjustments in process for effective treatment.
