THE INVENTION PROVIDES AN IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WATER CONTAINING SUSPENDED SOLIDS FROM A SANITARY SYSTEM. IN CARRYING OUT THE METHOD, THE WATER IS AERATED AND DELIVERED TO A SCREEN WITH A DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT ACROSS THE SCREEN SURFACE AND A DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT THROUGH THE SCREEN. THE SCREEN HAS OPENINGS LARGE ENOUGH TO PASS THE MAJORITY OF THE SOLIDS SUSPENDED IN THE WATER, AND HAS THE ABILITY TO HOLD A COATING OF THESE SOLIDS ON ITS UPSTREAM SIDE. THE FLOW OF WATER IS CONTROLLED SO THAT A COATING OF THE SUSPENDED SOLIDS FROM THE WATER IS FORMED ON THE SCREEN SURFACE. THE DELIVERY OF WATER CONTAINING THESE SUSPENDED SOLIDS TO THE SCREEN IS CONTINUED WITH A DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT ACROSS THE SCREEN AND A DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT THROUGH THE SCREEN, WHEREBY TO FILTER SOLIDS FROM THE WATER PASSING THROUGH THE COATING AND SCREEN. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DIRECTIONAL COMPONENTS ACROSS AND THROUGH THE SCREEN IS CONTROLLED TO MAINTAIN THE COATING ON THE SCREEN. THE WATER THAT IS PASSED THROUGH THE SCREEN IS STORED, AND IS RECYCLED TO THE SANITARY SYSTEM.
摘要:
A gas diffuser including a conically-shaped diffuser cone having a plurality of openings formed along the base circumference of the cone for liberating small gas bubbles. Connected to an opening formed in the apex of the cone is a hydrostatic leg depending therefrom. The length of the hydrostatic leg is designed such that during normal operation no gas will pass therethrough. The openings in the diffuser cone include an outer entrance opening and a recessed inner entrance opening. The inner opening is of square shape to release a small bubble. The top of the diffuser cone includes a unique seat and latch connecting arrangement that enables the diffuser to be installed in an opening in gas header pipes of varying diameters.
