Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for phase separating a multi-phase fluid flow, having a housing (2) designed substantially rotationally symmetrically about a center axis (M) and enclosing a hollow space (3), having at least one infeed line (6) for the fluid flow designed for inflow of the fluid flow directed substantially tangentially to the interior (11) of the housing, and having at least one outlet line (24) for the separated gaseous portion of the fluid flow, wherein said device heats the gaseous portion of the fluid flow, such as steam, and requires little material and space. To this end, heating elements designed for heating the gaseous portion are disposed in the hollow space (3) in an annular chamber (14) placed concentrically about the center axis (M).
Abstract:
A particle separating apparatus for fluids containing particulate material, treatment system for treating effluent from a processing plant, and a method of separating particles from fluid. A treatment vessel has an inlet for Injecting fluid containing particulate material, and a plurality of outlets for separately discharging separated supernatant on the one hand, and separated particles on the other hand, from the fluid. An outer annular treatment region receives fluid Injected tangentially into said treatment vessel from the inlet and directs the fluid into a transverse, laminar flow within the vessel about a central axis. An Inner particle separating region communicates with the outer treatment region but Is separated therefrom by a baffle to permit Ingress of the Injected fluid gradually from the transverse flow in a radially converging manner that maintains the laminar flow for fluid. The fluid eventually reposes centrally of the treatment vessel for optimum residency in the inner particle separating region. The baffle mitigates the effects of the angular fluid motion in the outer annular treatment region on fluid within the inner separating region. A lower particle collection region communicates with both the lower portion of the outer treatment region and said inner particle separating region for receiving separated particles from the fluid having a higher specific gravity. An upper supernatant separating region communicates with the top of the inner particle separating region for egressing supernatant from the fluid for extraction. The baffle has a recess opening from the depending thereof behind the inlet and spanning a sector of approximately 90°.
Abstract:
A vacuum clean-out system including a separator chamber and associated collection chamber for removing liquid material and debris from a vacuum output and providing a vacuum return line free of contaminants. A vacuum exhaust line is coupled to a cyclonic separator chamber that induces a circular rotation within the incoming vacuum stream, causing the liquid and debris to impinge the chamber's surfaces and fall to the bottom thereof while the 'clean' vacuum is drawn upwards into a return line. The collection chamber is maintained at the same negative pressure as the separator chamber so that the accumulating liquid and debris easily drains into the collection chamber. A sensor associated with the collection chamber may be used to determine when the collection chamber is full and needs to be discharged. At that point, the separator chamber is isolated from the collection chamber, the collection chamber is vented and the accumulated material is discharged and/or analyzed. Advantageously, the separator chamber remains under negative pressure and continues the vacuum clean-out process uninterrupted.
Abstract:
An adjustable gas-liquid centrifugal separator, which may revolve and guide the fluid, includes a body, a helix-guiding channel, an adjusting valve, an Y -radial device for distinguishing phase percent, a device for wiping off mist. The separating method includes the following steps: to make oil-gas-water three phase fluid revolve so as to obtain gas liquid separation, to measure gas content in liquid phase after separating by the Y -radial device for distinguishing phase percent, and to give information according to the level of the gas contained in the liquid phase to control the open degree, so as to adjust the effect of the gas-liquid separation, therefore the gas content in liquid phase is controlled in a certain range.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treating, preferably for reducing, particulate material in at least one fluidization zone at an increased temperature, particularly for reducing ore dust. According to the method, the particulate material is held in the fluidization zone by a treatment gas that flows upward from the bottom, and fine-particulate material, which is transported out of the fluidization zone with the treatment gas is separated from the treatment gas in a separating zone. To this end, the following steps are carried out in the separating zone: feeding the stream, which consists of treatment gas and of transported fine-particulate material, to a separating device (8); separating the fine-particulate material from the treatment gas, whereby the treatment gas is extracted from the separating device as waste gas, and; withdrawing the separated fine-particulate material out of the separating device (8). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method. Coarse grained material is introduced into the separating zone whereby reducing the amount of baked on material and deposits thereof.

A method of producing precipitation in a liquid containing a dissolved or suspended species to be precipitated including passing the liquid through a pipe reactor and introducing to the pipe reactor a precipitation agent adapted to reduce the solubility of or to agglomerate said species.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for mixing a first material and a second material is described in which the first material comprises a mixture of two or more dissimilar components which it is desired to separate. The method and apparatus involve forming an intimate mixture of the two materials prior to separating the two dissimilar components of the first material. The apparatus involves the use of a hydrocyclone for aerating or gasifying a feed stream, such as waste water containing oleophilic residue or food residue, to entrain the particles of residue within the air or gas bubbles prior to separating the oil or food residues from the carrier material, typically water. Instead of using the hydrocyclone as a separator, it is used as a mixer which provides surprising results and facilitates separation of the aerated components.
