Embodiment approach

[0037] Sewage is discharged from the factory 110 and is captured for recycling into a reservoir 120 (or other suitable large water storage or storage device, such as tanks, silos, ponds, etc.) that holds the sewage. According to one embodiment, a reservoir 120 is formed in a relatively level (or sunken) area of ​​the ground outside the factory 110 adjacent to the factory 110, the reservoir 120 includes: a berm about 5 feet high, and defines an area of ​​about 10,000 square feet (although berms of other heights and impoundments of other sizes may be used to suit the treatment requirements of a particular plant). A durable, strong and waterproof membrane (eg layer, sheet, etc.) material is provided over the enclosed area and over the berm to form the reservoir. According to one embodiment, the waterproof membrane is made of polyurethane approximately 60 mil thick and is commercially available from B&B Supply of Fresno, California. The membrane is preferably black in order to en...

Abstract

A system reclaiming contaminated water includes a heat exchanger that receives the contaminated water and converts at least a portion of the contaminated water into steam and collects at least a portion of the contaminants within the heat exchanger. A thermal transfer fluid is heated by a solar concentrator during daytime and by a biofuel combustion device during nighttime. The heated fluid is circulated through the heat exchanger to heat the contaminated water. A steam engine is coupled to a generator, the steam engine receives the steam from the heat exchanger to drive the generator to provide power for the system. Steam exhausted from the steam engine is supplied to supplemental heat loads. The collected contaminants are directed to an evaporation device to remove residual liquid.
