An eductor jet pump including a venturi throat mounted at the input end of a discharge line into which a high velocity fluid jet nozzle is directed. Hydraulic cylinders and a hydraulic control circuit provide for relative movement of the jet nozzle toward or away from the venturi throat for either pulsating operation by regular cycling of the nozzle portion, for specific control of efficiency by nozzle position, or for closing the venturi throat to prevent backflow.

Apparatus for transporting and handling bulk material such as a settled mass of particulate matter characterized by being dispersible with a liquid into a pumpable mixture or slurry. The apparatus includes railroad tank cars carrying vessels adapted to contain the settled mass for movement as a train along a railroad right of way. At an unloading zone an unloading and slurrifying unit is provided which includes a nozzle and slurry receiving sump adapted for movement along the right of way for accurate positioning with respect to an overlying vehicle. Elevating means is provided to move the nozzle upwardly through an opened discharge outlet provided in a flat bottom of the vessel. The sump is carried upwardly with the nozzle for yieldable contact with a flat sealing plate around the discharge outlet. A hollow, fluid containing annulus carried at the upper end of the sump both forms a seal with the vessel sealing plate and senses contact therewith for actuating means to direct a high pressure stream of liquid to the nozzle. The nozzle is moved upwardly into the vessel with the liquid stream impinging upon and slurrifying the particulate matter as the nozzle is rotated about a vertical axis to progressively remove the particulate matter from within the vessel. The slurrified material flows by gravity into the sump and into a collection tank from which it is pumped into a discharge line for subsequent handling and processing.

A rock trap is described for removing rocks and other heavy foreign objects from particulate material transmitted through a conveyor tube by a conveyor fluid, such as air. The particulate material is injected into the conveyor tube through an inlet openng at the top thereof, intermediate the ends of such tube, and the rock trap is positioned beneath and downstream from such inlet opening. A baffle plate is provided in the conveyor beneath the inlet opening so that such baffle plate extends longitudinally in the tube across such inlet opening and terminates above the top opening of the rock trap pocket. Rocks and other heavy foreign objects in the particulate material strike the baffle plate and roll and slide off the end of such plate into the rock trap pocket. The conveyor fluid is transmitted through the tube both above and below the baffle plate, and the conveyor fluid under such properly positioned plate flows across the top of the rock trap to prevent the particulate material from falling into such trap, while enabling rocks and other foreign objects to fall into such trap.

A floating platform having a water-tight caisson depending below the level of the water upon which the platform floats. A syphon pipe extends from the bottom of the caisson into the hold of the vessel to be unloaded, and a pump keeps the level of the water in the caisson below the level of the water in the hold, creating a suction action which sucks water and fish out of the hold into the caisson. Suitable elevator means in the caisson lifts the fish therefrom and discharges them above the caisson.

Flume water recycling apparatus operates in conjunction with a flume and a jackladder of a log handling system. Flume water with logs, loose bark, grit and sand flows down the flume toward the jackladder. The sand and some grit pass through a sand outlet into a collection pit beneath the end of the flume, whereas the logs, water, remaining grit and bark flow over a bridge toward the jackladder. Logs and large pieces of bark are removed from the water by a series of flights of the jackladder. Water, grit and small pieces of bark flow through tapered apertures provided in a tail section of the jackladder and into a grit settling trough. Slow water velocity in the trough promotes settling of the grit to the bottom of the trough. The return run of the flights extends along the bottom and scrapes the grit into the collection pit. The flights then extend around a tail pulley for advancement into a flight guide tunnel formed by the bridge and the tail section to prevent jamming of the flights. Bark and relatively clear water flow from the trough into side channels that extend to a second grit settling trough. Water and bark from the second trough flow into a bark basin where the bark is separated from the water and the water is returned to the flume.

A device for separating solids and other foreign bodies from liquids in a pipe conduit includes a screen mounted in the conduit which is conically tapered in the flow direction. A discharge tube for the separated solids, leading to the outside, is connected at the apex of the screen. A barrier is arranged on outer side of screen which extends perpendicularly to the surface of the screen between the individual rows of holes of the screen.

THIS INVENTION RELATESTO IMPROVED HYDRODYNAMIC DRAG REDUCING FORMULATIONS WHICH COMPRISE (A) PARTICULATE ETHYLENE OXIDE POLYMER, (B) AN INERT, NORMALLY-LIQUID, WATER-MISCIBE ORGANIC VEHICLE WHICH IS A NON-SOLVENT FOR SAIDETHYLENE OXIDE POLYMER SUCH AS PROPYLENE GLYCOL, (C) A SUSPENDING AGENT WHICH IS NON-REACTVE WITH SAID ETHYLENE OXIDE POLYMER AND SAID ORGANIC VEHICLE SUCH AS COLLOIDAL SILICA, AND (D) A SURFACE ACTIVE AGENT. THE USE OF THE SURFACE ACTIVE AGENT RESULTS IN SYSTEMS WHICH ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THEIR IMPROVED HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS FLUIDITY, PUMPABILITY, AND/OR POURABILITY. THOUGH THE VISCOSITY OFTHE SYSTEM IS SGNIFICANTLY DECREASED, THE HYDRODYNAMIC DRAG DEDUCTION EFFICIEOCY CHARACTERISTIC REMAINS PRACTICALLY UNAFFECTED. MOREOVER, AT SUCH DECREASED VISCOSITY LEVELS ONE CAN NOW INCREASE, TO A SIGNIFICANT EXTENT, THE CONCENTRATION OF ETHYLENE OXIDE POLYMER IN THE SYSTEM AND STILL MAINTAIN A VISCOSITY LEVEL WHICH IS NO GREATER THAN COMPARABLE SYSTEMS FORMULATED WITHOUT A SURFACE ACTIVE AGENT.
