The present disclosure relates to a fluid treatment apparatus. The fluid treatment apparatus includes a first system for removing one or more target compounds from a fluid, said first system comprising adsorbent particles; a second system for regenerating said adsorbent particles; a first connector between said first system and said second system, said first connector configured to transfer adsorbent particles from said first system to said second system; and a second connector between said first system and said second system, said second connector configured to release of adsorbent particles from said second system, wherein said first system and said second system are decoupled. The present disclosure further relates to a system comprising one or more fluid treatment apparatus described herein. Also described herein are methods for treating fluid and a system comprising the methods for treating fluid described herein.

Fluid treatment apparatus, systems, and methods

A bioreactor includes three compartments. A middle compartment is meant to contain a biocatalyst and is separated from opposite end compartments by semipermeable membrane. The middle compartment is in the form of a vertically extending cylinder with domed top and bottom walls. The opposite end compartments are also in the form of domes but extend horizontally. Lower supply and upper discharge lines are connected to each of the end compartments. An agitator is connected in the bottom of the middle compartment and a degasser is connected to the top of the middle compartment.
