Abstract:
본 발명은 하수 또는 폐수 처리 시스템의 침전지에서 발생하는 스컴(scum)을 침전지의 트라프(Trough)를 기준으로 그 전방과 후방 영역에서 동시에 제거할 수 있도록 함으로써, 트라프의 후방에서 스컴이 장기간에 걸쳐 누적되고 굳어져 제거에 어려움을 겪게 되는 현상을 미연에 방지할 수 있는 듀얼 헬리컬 스키머와 이를 구비한 슬러지 제거설비를 제공한다. 이를 위해, 본 발명은 모터와; 기 모터의 구동에 의해 서로 반대방향으로 회전하면서 스컴을 수집함과 동시에, 수집된 스컴을 트라프 측으로 이송시켜 배출시키도록 상기 트라프를 기준으로 대칭되게 동일 평면상에 이격 배치되는 2개의 헬리컬 스키머와; 상기 모터의 구동에 의해 2개의 헬리컬 스키머가 서로 반대방향으로 회전될 수 있도록 모터의 구동력을 각각의 스컴 스키머에 전달하는 동력전달수단을 포함하여 구성되는 침전지 내의 스컴을 제거하기 위한 듀얼 헬리컬 스키머 및 이를 구비한 슬러지 제거설비를 제공한다.
Abstract:
A sewage sludge silo is provided, having a central discharge arm for discharging sludge via a central discharge opening, by means of the discharge arm sweeping across a preferably sloped silo floor, with the discharge arm having upper and lower ends, with the lower end extending forward of the upper end in transverse generally vertical cross-section, as the discharge arm moves in a forward direction across the silo floor. The silo floor can be of multi-layer construction, with one of the layers being molded to facilitate a sloped configuration for the silo floor. The movement of a silo discharge arm can be computer controlled to adjust the speed of the discharge arm to maintain a predetermined or substantially constant rate of discharge of sludge from the silo, with such control being facilitated by appropriate sensor mechanisms.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method (20) of separating pulp from a feed material within a tank (1), the method comprising the steps of (23) introducing the feed material (22) into the tank (1); (24) allowing the feed material (22) to settle in the tank (1); (25) allowing the pulp (21) to form into aggregates (13); (26) allowing the pulp aggregates (13) to settle towards the bottom of the tank (1) and form a networked layer (2) of pulp; and (27) causing a disturbance substantially uniformly across a disturbance zone (16) in an upper region of the networked layer (2), so as to disrupt the networked pulp in the disturbance zone within a predetermined period of time; thereby releasing entrained liquid from the networked pulp in the disturbance zone (16) and increasing the relative density of the pulp below the disturbance zone. The invention also provides a separation device (40) for separating pulp (21) from a feed material (22).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for clarifying and/or thickening a solids-containing solution, which apparatus is equipped with a rake (10), which rake is for moving the underflow from the edges of the tank to the centre, where said rake has at least four rake arms (11, 12, 13, 14) reaching the edge of the tank in a radial direction, when at least two of the rake arms (11, 12) are vertically supported by at least one vertical supporting member (15) arranged on the rake arm, which vertical supporting member (15) is connected to at least two rake arms (13,14), so that the rake arm slope (22) could be as small as possible, at least 1:4 or smaller. The inventions also relates to a method for supporting a rake (10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of clarifying and/or thickening a solution containing solids i.e. a slurry, and the apparatus for accomplishing this. Using the method and apparatus of the present invention, the slurry to be fed into the clarification or thickening apparatus is distributed evenly into the slurry already in the tank. It is characteristic of the clarification tank now developed that the displacement capacity of the raking system in the tank is the same from the edges of the tank up to the centre. The displacement capacity is measured as being the same as the underflow discharge capacity from the centre of the tank. The displacement capacity can be determined to be the same using rake displacement plates of different heights, according to the distance of the displacement plates from the rake shaft and the number of plates rotating on the same ring-like cross-section.
Abstract:
A coagulation precipitator having a coagulation precipitation section provided with a contact material-accumulated layer (84) formed by accumulating small pieces of a contact material of a high prosity, raw water to which a coagulant is added being supplied upstream to the coagulation precipitation section to coagulate the suspension in the raw water and precipitate the coagulated suspension, wherein the coagulation precipitator is provided with a prestage coagulation section as a pretreatment section having at least one contact material-accumulated layer (82) through which the raw water is passed at a superficial velocity higher than that in the contact material-accumulated layer in the coagulation precipitation section, primarily treated water being discharged from the prestage coagulation section with the coagulated flock produced in the contact material-accumulated layer, to be supplied into the coagulation precipitation section, whereby a frequency at which to carry out a cleaning operation can be reduced while the treated water is maintained at a low turbidity.
Abstract:
In a band raker which conveys the sludge conveyed in sewage purification ponds to the elutriating funnel, a raking beam (5) is secured to rotating chains (1,2) of which one strand runs along the bottom of the pond. In order to reduce the strain on the chains (1,2) to a minimum, the raking beam (5) is swivellingly linked to the chains (1,2) by bolts (4) or the like which extend perpendicular to the axes of the chain studs (2).
