    摘要: A system for enhancing the separation of particles or fluids from water is disclosed. A settling tank or skim tank is provided with an open submersible acoustophoretic separator. In a skim tank, the separator captures and holds oil droplets or particles, permitting them to coalesce until they are large enough and have sufficient buoyant force to float to the top of the tank. In a settling or sediment tank, separator captures and holds particles until they are large enough that the force of gravity causes them to settle out of the water. The acoustophoretic device thus speeds up separation of the particles or droplets from the water.

    摘要: Devices and methods for pre-conditioning and/or post-conditioning a host fluid containing a second fluid or particulate are disclosed. The devices include a flow chamber having first opening and a particulate outlet. The devices can also include side openings and alignment, fluid, and particulate screens. An ultrasonic transducer can be driven to create an acoustic standing wave in the flow chamber, or alternatively be driven to excite the wall of the flow chamber in which it is located. This creates a uniformly stratified flow within the flow chamber, with the second fluid or particulate being aligned in planes in the fluid mixture. This permits the host fluid to be separated therefrom using the fluid screen and the particulate screen.
