Abstract
In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a system for treating an intake fluid comprising a contaminant, the system comprising a strainer configured to receive the intake fluid and separate the intake fluid into a first retentate and a strained filtrate; a filtration unit connected to the strainer through a strained fluid connector, the strained fluid connector configured to facilitate transfer of the strained filtrate from the strainer to the filtration unit, wherein the filtration unit is configured to separate the strained filtrate into a second retentate and a filtration unit filtrate; a fixed film biological filter connected to the filtration unit through a filtrate connector, the filtrate connector configured to facilitate transfer of the filtration unit filtrate from the filtration unit to the fixed film biological filter, wherein the fixed film biological filter is configured to reduce a biological oxygen demand of at least one of the filtration unit filtrate and a contaminant concentrating module permeate to form a permeate; and a CCM connected to a first retentate connector and a second retentate connector, the first retentate connector configured to facilit…
