Abstract:
A pump for pumping fluid comprises a pump housing which comprises a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a pumping chamber fluidly connected to the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. Within the pumping chamber is provided a rotatable impeller for drawing fluid from the inlet and displacing the fluid out of the fluid outlet. The pump also comprises a drive source adapted to generate a drive force for rotating the impeller; a drivetrain assembly coupling the drive source to the impeller so as to transmit the drive force to the impeller, wherein the drivetrain assembly comprises a rotatable element arranged between the drive source and the impeller so as to transmit the drive force. The pump also includes an an ancillary device comprising a rotatable input element and the rotatable element of the drivetrain assembly is arranged such that it can be coupled to the rotatable input element of the ancillary device by an endless flexible mechanical element and thereby drive the rotatable input element when coupled by an endless flexible mechanical element. Additionally, the drive source, the drivetrain assembly and the impeller define a plurality of transmission elements and a pair of the transmission elements are spaced apart. The drivetrain assembly also comprises a moveable connecting element for coupling the spaced apart transmission elements, the moveable connecting element being moveable between: a first position in which the spaced apart transmission elements are coupled so as to enable the drive force to be transmitted from the drive source to the impeller; and a second position in which a gap is formed for allowing an endless flexible mechanical element to be threaded between the spaced apart transmission elements to allow the endless flexible mechanical element to couple the rotatable element and the rotatable input element of the ancillary device.

Abstract:
A method and an installation for treating a main wastewater stream flowing in a closed conduit with a flow direction. The method includes the steps of: introducing a liquid into at least one pre-treatment stream; generating a gas stream containing ozone gas; introducing the gas stream into the at least one pre-treatment stream, each with a gas injector, resulting in at least one mixed-phase stream comprising ozone laden gas and liquid; passing the at least one mixed-phase stream through at least one static mixer, resulting in a predefined gas bubble size; and injecting the at least one mixed-phase stream in the main wastewater stream perpendicular to the flow direction.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a treatment apparatus arrangement in a treatment plant, the treatment plant including a basin housing a liquid and solid matter. The operating condition in the basin is anoxic and/or anaerobic, and the treatment apparatus arrangement includes at least one mixer machine located in the basin and a variable speed drive operatively connected to the mixer machine. The variable speed drive operates the mixer machine alternately in a Normal Operation Mode, in which an operational speed of the mixer machine is at least the greater of a suspension speed and a process speed, and a Reduced Operation Mode, in which the operational speed of the mixer machine is below the suspension speed. Also described is a treatment apparatus arrangement and a treatment plant, respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electric pump (1) comprising a pump member, an electric motor (2) positioned in a motor housing (4), including a stator (5), in which a rotor (6) is rotatably mounted, said rotor (6) comprising a rotor shaft (7) driving the pump member, a motor controller with an inverter (3) positioned within a controller housing (8) and a heat sink (9), wherein the electric pump (1) further compromises a thermoelectric generator (10) with one side thermally coupled to the inverter (3) and with another side thermally coupled to the heat sink (9) to generate electric current from a temperature differential between the inverter (3) and the heat sink (9).
Abstract:
A chain tensioning arrangement for a column pipe which is configured to house a submersible pump. The chain tensioning arrangement includes a radially extending cross beam, a spring arrangement connected to the cross beam, at least one spring member, and an arm that is movably connected to the cross beam. The arm includes an engagement member configured to optionally engage a chain connected to the pump. The arm is displaceable in the axial direction between a lower position and an upper position. The spring member is arranged to displace the arm in the direction from the lower position towards the upper position. Also described is a pump station including a column pipe, a submersible pump arranged in the column pipe and an axially extending chain connected to the pump and configured to move the pump in the column pipe.
Abstract:
In a first aspect the invention relates to a pipe connector for connecting a first element to a second element The pipe connector comprises a pipe segment (11), a first flange (12) located at a first end of the pipe segment (11) and configured to be connected to said first element, and a second flange (13) located at a second end of the pipe segment (11) and configured to be connected to said second element. The pipe connector (1) is characterized in that said first flange (12) comprises a circumferential anchor flange (18) that is fixed connected to the pipe segment (11) at said first end, a flange insert (19) that is displaceable in the axial direction of the pipe connector (1) in relation to the anchor flange (18) between a retracted position and an extended position, and means for displacing the flange insert (19) in relation to the anchor flange (18), in the direction running axial from the second end towards the first end of the pipe segment (11), wherein the flange insert (19) in the extended position protrude in the axial direction in relation to said anchor flange (18). In a second aspect the invention also relates to a pipe connector unit comprising such a pipe connector (1) and an adaptor (8).
