Abstract
A water treatment system () incorporating a solubles concentration reduction device () between a powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT) system () and a wet air regeneration (WAR) system (). Soluble components may be removed by sequentially dewatering () then re-slurrying () spent carbon sludge (). The reduced concentration of soluble materials reduces the need for scale removal maintenance and eliminates the necessity for exotic materials of construction of the WAR system components. The solubles concentration reduction device also facilitates active control of the solids concentration being delivered to the WAR system.
