    摘要: The present invention relates to a filtering panel (100) for a disk filter and a disk filter for water purification, comprising a metal filter cloth (16, 116) such as a stainless steel filter cloth, pre-tensioned in both warp and weft directions and fastened to a frame (10, 110) comprising a peripheral portion (11, 111), which is integral with an inner grillwork (12) and which divides the inner area of the peripheral portion (11, 111) into fields (15, 115). The frame (10, 110) comprises a plastic material reinforced with glass fibers or carbon fibres such as polypropylene loaded with fibreglass in an amount of at least 20 weight percent. Each field of the grillwork (12, 112) has an area not exceeding 10% of the inner area of the peripheral portion (11, 111). The pre-tensioning of the filter cloth (16, 116) in both directions is from at least 20% of the yield stress of the cloth (16, 116). Further the present invention relates to a disk filter comprising said filtering panels (100) and method of making said filtering panel (100).

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for the microfiltration, ultrafiltration, or nanofiltration and/or the emulsification of liquids. The device has at least one rotatable membrane medium, which has a filtrate/permeate side or a side facing a dispersed phase and a concentrate/retentate side or a side facing a coherent phase and which can be rotated in a container in order to produce a vacuum on an unfiltered liquid side or the side facing the coherent phase on partial regions of the at least one rotatable membrane medium in the container in small time segments at a frequency of 1-100 Hz. Said container has at least one feed for an unfiltered liquid or the coherent phase, at least one overflow for an unfiltered liquid or an emulsion, and at least one rotatable channel for filtrate/permeate drainage or feed of the dispersed phase, and a suction device, in particular in the manner of a suction strip or nozzle plate. The suction device has at least one suction strip or nozzle plate arranged parallel to the rotatable membrane medium or is such a suction strip or nozzle plate, which is attached at a distance of less than 0.1 to 10 mm from the membrane medium, and thus cleans non-permeating materials collected on the unfiltered liquid side during a filtration process from a surface of the membrane medium, or promotes drop formation of the dispersed phase exiting from a membrane surface on the side facing the coherent phase during an emulsification process. The invention further relates to uses of the device.

    摘要: The invention relates to a filter for continuous filtration of a suspension under pressure, with a pressure vessel (1), rotating filter elements (2) disposed in the pressure vessel (1), where the filter element (2) passes through one filter cycle for each rotation, with filter zones in liquid and gaseous phase, also with filtrate channels (4′) that are connected between the filter elements (2) and separate filtrate outlets (14, 14′, 215) for each filter zone, as well as a device to control the individual filtrate zones by means of a control disc (44), where the control disc (44) has filtrate outlets (114, 115) for liquid and gaseous phase. It is primarily characterized in that a venting zone (46) is provided before the filtrate outlet of the liquid phase, viewed in the direction of the filter cycle. Thus, the compressed air in the filter elements (2) and filtrate channels (4′) can be carried off and pressure-relieved in a favorable manner.

    摘要: A method associated for treating a precoat on a rotating filtering surface of lime sludge filter including: accumulating a precoat of lime sludge on the filtering surface by rotating the filtering surface in a first direction through a lime sludge slurry; after accumulating the precoat, rotating the filtering surface in an opposite direction to the first direction; while rotating the filtering surface in the opposite direction, spraying a liquid onto the precoat on the filtering surface wherein the spraying is applied to the precoat above a scraper adjacent the filtering surface and the spraying removes at least a portion of the precoat from the filtering surface, and flowing the removed precoat over the scraper and into a basin.
