Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for decanting a supernatant received in a clarifier (1), comprising: a decanter (2) which is pivotally attached to a clarifier (1) and which comprises a decanter head (5) that has a water inlet opening (6); a pivoting device (7) which is connected to the decanter (2) via an actuator (8) with an adjustable length for raising or lowering the water inlet opening (6) relative to a floor (B) of the clarifier (1); a first measuring device (9) for measuring a fill level (H1) of the wastewater (Ab) received in the clarifier (1); a device for determining a length (L) of the actuator (8); an evaluating device with which a distance (H2) from the water inlet opening (6) of the decanter (2) to the floor (B) of the clarifier (1) can be determined from the length (L) of the actuator (8); and a controller (S) for controlling the pivoting device (7) such that a water inlet opening (6) immersion depth (E), which results from the difference between the fill level (H1) and the distance (H2), is kept in a specified range.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement for producing a flow in a wastewater treatment tank (1), comprising a substantially horizontal bottom (B) and a horizontal mixer (2, 3, 4), which is provided in the wastewater treatment tank (1) and which has a propeller (4) driven by means of a propeller shaft (3). According to the invention, in order to save energy to produce flows the axis (A) of the propeller shaft (3) is tilted relative to the bottom (B) by an angle α of 1 to 10° in such a way that a flow directed toward a surface (0) of the wastewater (W) can be produced by the horizontal mixer (2, 3, 4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for gassing liquids, in particular for aerating sewage and the like, comprising a lower housing element (1), which has a substantially round opening area and a gas inlet port (24), a disc-shaped upper housing element (10), corresponding to the opening area, for covering the opening area, the upper housing element (10) having an upper side (O) facing away from the lower housing element (1), and a number of gas through-openings (13) being provided in the vicinity of a peripheral edge of the upper housing element (10), passing through the upper side (O), and a perforated gassing membrane (19), covering over the upper side (O) of the upper housing element (10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stirring device for activated sludges comprising a hyperboloid stirring body (1) attached to a shaft (2), wherein a plurality of transport ribs (3) are provided on the top (O) of the stirring body (1) running toward the circumferential boundary (UM) thereof, wherein the transport ribs (3) have an oblique course, at least in sections, relative to a radial direction, and wherein the oblique position of the transport ribs (3) is selected such that, when the stirring body (1) rotates in a predetermined rotational direction (R), a flow (S) is generated that is directed outward away from the circumferential boundary (UM) of the stirring body (1). In order to improve the efficiency of the stirring device, the invention proposes that a flow guidance device (7) for guiding the flow (S) generated by the stirring body (1) be provided in a plane running substantially perpendicular to the shaft (2), said flow guidance device surrounding the circumferential boundary (UM) of the stirring body (1) and being relatively fixed thereto.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a horizontal agitator for producing a flow in a clearing basin, wherein a propeller (2) having a plurality of blades (4) is connected to a submersible motor (1) axially disposed thereto. In order to increase the efficiency of the horizontal agitator, according to the invention the propeller (2) and the submersible motor (1) are configured such that during operation of the submersible motor (1) a flow (P2) that is directed from the propeller (2) to the submersible motor (1) is produced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an agitating device, in which a hyperboloid agitating body (6) is connected to a drive mechanism (2, 3) by means of a shaft (4). Several ribs (7) running from the circumferential boundary (Ur) in the direction of the shaft (4) are provided on the upper side (O) of the agitating body (6). According to the invention, the efficiency of the agitating device may be improved, whereby a height (h1) of the ribs (7) at least incrementally increases from the circumferential boundary (Ur) of the agitating body (6) in the direction of the shaft (4).
