Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for de-watering sludge and similar substance by improving a known construction, the apparatus having the lowest possible cost and a large through-put optimal dewatering, while simultaneously treating the flocculated sludge as gently as possible. SOLUTION: The apparatus for de-watering sludge and similar substances is characterized in that a hydrostatic filtration pressure generating means 3 acts as one or more syringe-like piston cylinder units 14 each having a sludge inlet 10 connected to a pre-dewatering device 2 and a sludge outlet 17 connected to a sludge chamber 20, in that alternately operable closing and control valves 12, 21 are provided at the sludge inlet 10 and sludge outlet 17, in that an upper pressure plate 22 among pressure plates is stationary and, in that the pre-dewatering device 2 and the piston cylinder units 14 are installed above the upper pressure plate 22.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize cleaning equipment for a filter sand layer, compared with conventional systems including injection of water or sea water into a filter sand layer and thereby reduce the construction scale and running costs.SOLUTION: A cleaning system 1 is for removing suspended matter, as a cause of clogging, from a filter sand layer 2 of sea water percolation intake equipment 5 which takes in sea water percolated through the filter sand layer 2 and a support gravel layer 3 on the sea bottom by means of an intake pipe 4 embedded in the support gravel layer 3 and includes a diffuser pipe 7 embedded in the filter sand layer 2 and having an injection hole 6 and compressed air delivery means 8 of delivering air to the diffuser pipe 7. The filter sand in the filter sand layer 2 is agitated by injecting air from the injection hole 6, and suspended matter included in or precipitated on the filter sand layer 2 is removed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an effective cleaning method of a screen water intake device for a water intake system.SOLUTION: A screen water intake device for a water intake system uses a cleaning system 100 to perform cleaning of one or more screen water intakes 200. A plurality of pipes 120 inside a screen 210 take in a liquid (for example, water or non-compressive liquid) fed under pressure from a pump 104 to remove dust of the screen 210. Subsequently, outlet ports 122 of the pipes which are holes, nozzles 130, or the like send the liquid fed under pressure to the inside of the screen 210. One or more valves 114 change, agitate, or pulsate the liquid fed under pressure, and additionally or alternatively, send the liquid fed under pressure selectively to the pipes to remove the dust accumulated on the outside of the screen 210. Furthermore, a heater 108 of the system removes or prevents formation of ice crystals on the screen by heating the liquid and sending it to the pipes 120.
Abstract:
A cutting fluid circulation device includes a first tank reservoir, a primary filter, and a first pump. The tank reservoir stores cutting fluid discharged from a machine tool. The primary filter is provided in the first tank reservoir and filters the cutting fluid. The first pump pumps up the cutting fluid filtered by the primary filter in the first tank reservoir. The first tank reservoir is partitioned into a filtration tank in which the primary filter is disposed, a pumping-up tank in which the first pump is disposed, and a connecting channel in which the cutting fluid in the filtration tank is allowed to flow into the pumping-up tank. The connecting channel has an identical channel width along an entire length thereof, or at least a portion of the channel width is narrowed stepwise or continuously from the filtration tank to the pumping-up tank.
Abstract:
A separator prevents microplastics from entering the environment by regenerating the pressure consumption of filters for removing microplastics in effluent from any source but in particular removing microfibers from washing machine wastewater. The separator includes a chamber with an inlet and an outlet, a sieve structure forming a permeable barrier between the inlet and the outlet to filter the effluent, the sieve structure thus having an inlet side for unfiltered effluent and an outlet side for filtered effluent, the separator further including at least one pump in fluid communication with the outlet of the chamber, and at least one sensor is provided, and wherein the pump is arranged to be activated in accordance with the output from the sensor.
Abstract:
Water filter with self-rinsing capability that includes filter housing, hollow cartridge core, and mesh filter. The filter housing includes a hollow housing with top and drain openings, a top cover with inlet and outlet ports, a one-way pressure valve, and a drain tap that includes a rod, an opening and closing knob that is connected to the rod, and an opening and closing barrier with passageway that is connected to the rod. The cartridge comprises of a tube with inlet and outlet passageways, and spray pipes with spray nozzles, and enables water to flows from the tube into the spray pipes and outside into the filter housing through the nozzles. The mesh filter has a shape of a hollow cylinder that is worn on the tube in a gap between the tube and the spray pipes.
Abstract:
A rotary disc filter is provided with an integrated backwash and chemical cleaning system. In one mode of operation, backwash is directed through a control valve to one or more nozzles for spraying the backwash onto the filter media forming a part of a rotary disc filter. In a second mode, a chemical cleaning mode, the pump directs backwash through an eductor that induces a chemical into the inductor which is mixed with the backwash to form a backwash-chemical mixture that is sprayed onto the filter media. A control system is used in conjunction with the backwash and cleaning systems to monitor process information and/or filter media properties and to determine when to perform backwashes and regenerative cleanings in order to optimize the performance of the filter system.
Abstract:
A multi-step press apparatus for sludge dewatering and waste water filtration comprising: a tank, an inflatable membrane, a level sensor, and a nozzle assembly.
Abstract:
A capture unit for use with an antimicrobial application unit may include an upstream filter and a downstream filter. The upstream filter may be positioned to receive effluent from the application unit and to filter solid components from the effluent. The resultant upstream effluent filtrate may then be passed downstream to the downstream filter. The downstream filter may be used to filter an antimicrobial component from the upstream effluent filtrate and the resultant downstream effluent filtrate may be suitable for disposal as wastewater discharge. The antimicrobial is preferably a quaternary ammonium compound, is more preferably an alkylpyridinium chloride, and is most preferably cetylpyridinium chloride.
