ШНЕКОВЫЙ ТРАНСПОРТЕР-ОБЕЗВОЖИВАТЕЛЬ ОСАДКА ИЗ ОТСТОЙНИКА ЖИДКОСТИ

Полезная модель относится к устройствам, применяемым для очистки жидкостей от механических частиц. Шнековый транспортер-обезвоживатель используется для удаления осадка, отстоявшегося на дне отстойника и сдвинутого в приямок-накопитель, а также для обезвоживания осадка. Транспортер используется при вертикальной установке или с небольшим углом отклонения его оси от вертикали. Обезвоживание осадка обеспечивается за счет слива через отверстия в трубчатом вале вращающегося шнека жидкости, отделяющейся от механических частиц под действием центробежной силы, а также за счет щелевого фильтра. Подвижные пластины фильтра не контактируют со шнеком и сдвигаются под действием центробежных сил, воздействующих на механические частицы осадка. Периодическая очистка всей рабочей поверхности фильтра производится обратным потоком жидкости. Заборная часть шнекового транспортера содержит две спирально изогнутые лопасти и крыльчатку в виде пропеллера для предотвращения забивания трубчатого вала шнека. Шнек имеет два участка с разным шагом винтовых лопастей и пространство для образования из осадка пробки, обеспечивающей сжимание осадка в фильтре. В результате обеспечивается совмещение функций транспортирования и обезвоживания осадка без усложнения конструкции транспортера-обезвоживателя. 5 з.п. ф-лы, 3 ил.

Биотенк со встроенным отстойником

Полезная модель относится к очистке сточных вод и удалению воды из биотенков и может найти применение в очистке как бытовых, так и промстоков, содержащих взвешенные частицы и растворенные химические элементы. Очищаемые воды поступают в корпус биотенка, контактируют с биомассой, закрепленной на погружной загрузке, очищаются до расчетных значений и поступают в часть биотенка, в которой по всей высоте сооружения закреплены канаты из гигроскопичного материала. В связи с тем, что канаты выполнены из гигроскопичного материала возникает эффект капиллярного поднятия жидкости. В верхней точке канаты закреплены в водосборном желобе. Очищенная вода собирается водосборными желобами и отводится через водосборный коллектор за пределы сооружения. Для регулирования расхода сточной воды водосборные желоба перемещаются по вертикали относительно уровня воды в биотенке, меняя длину канатов над уровнем воды. Это приводит к изменению продолжительности движения капиллярной влаги до водосборного желоба и, соответственно, регулирует расход воды. Избыток биомассы оседает в осадковой части биотенка и в дальнейшем удаляется. Предложенная конструкция позволяет отводить очищенные воды из сооружения с более высокой точки без применения насосов, что приводит к сокращению земляных работ при возведении сооружения.

Multi-layered piezoelectric resonator for the separation of suspended particles

Particulate material suspended in a fluid is separated and recycled by means of an ultrasonic resonance wave. In a preferred embodiment, the ultrasonic resonance field is generated within a multilayered composite resonator system including a transducer, the suspension and a mirror parallel to each other. Dimensions and frequencies resonant to the whole system but not exciting Eigen-frequencies of transducer and mirror itself are chosen so that thermal dissipation is minimized. Generally, the process is suitable for all kinds of particles (solid, liquid or gaseous disperse phases) especially for hydrosols (particles in water) and for separation of biological particles such as mammalian, bacterial and plant cells or aggregates. Specialized applications in biotechnology are described including an acoustic filter for mammalian cell bioreactors or the selective retention of viable cells relative to non-viable cells.

Particle separation

The separation of different types of particulate matter in a carrier liquid is obtained by using an ultrasonic standing wave and relying on the different acoustic responses of the different particle types. By varying the acoustic energy propagation cyclically a more effective separation rate can be obtained, with a more readily attracted particle type being subjected to a further discrimination step in each cycle. The cyclical energy variation may be in the intensity of the standing wave, e.g. using suppression means, and/or the velocity of the standing wave relative to the liquid medium, e.g. using phase control means.

Manipulation of particles

Separation of particles types from a mixed population of particles in a liquid is obtained in an ultrasonic wave produced by interference between the outputs from spaced ultrasonic sources (115,118). One or more selected particle types may be separated by displacement axially along the standing wave or may be carried transversely through the standing wave or by combining both methods. The described separation can be achieved by control of flow of the liquid or giving the standing wave a drift, or by controlling the intensity or the frequency of the standing wave or by any combination of these factors. The preferred ultrasonic frequency range is between 100 kHz and 100 MHz. The process is particularly suitable for the separation of biological particles, from macromolecules to plant cells.

Manipulating particulate matter

An acoustic standing wave is established in a fluid medium with a varying energy density in its nodal planes. Particles in the fluid medium responsive to the acoustic energy accumulate at these nodal planes and by the action of the variations of energy density in conjunction with the fluid viscous forces and/or field forces acting in the direction of the nodal planes, the movement of the particles held at these planes can be controlled. The adverse effects of attenuation of the acoustic beams producing the standing wave are reduced in this system, because any streaming due to imbalance of the acoustic forces forming the standing wave does not act in the direction in which the movement of the particles can be controlled.

Manipulating means utilizing ultrasonic wave energy for use with particulate material

Particulate material influenced by the acoustic forces in an ultrasonic standing wave is manipulated in a liquid column (16) by the use of at least two standing waves having axes extending transversely across the column at different orientations to its longitudinal axis. The nodes of the standing waves intersect within the column to give regions of greatest acoustic influence that allows a relative displacement between the particles and the liquid in a direction transverse to the axes of the standing waves. The effects of acoustic streaming can be reduced and the physical arrangement of the ultrasound apparatus in relation to the column is simplified.

Method and apparatus for positional manipulation and analysis of suspended particles

In a method of particle handling, a source of acoustic oscillations is applied to a conduit through which a particulate fluid suspension passes, creating acoustic standing waves in the suspension thereby forming local inhomogeneities in the positional distribution of particles in said suspension which may be used to improve the signal-to-noise characteristics of an interrogating optical beam.

Apparatus and method for manipulating particles in a liquid medium by ultrasonic waves

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for munipulating particles in a liquid medium by ultrasonic waves. A vessel is provided for receiving the particle-carrying liquid, as well as means, such as an ultrasonic transducer for generating an ultrasonic standing wave in the vessel such that particles are attracted to nodal fronts of the standing wave. The standing wave is intermittently suppressed, whilst the particle-carrying liquid is oscillated relative to the transducer. If the oscillation and the intermittency are carried out in synchronisation, the particles can be shepherded from one nodal front to another in a prescribed direction to concentrate them for separation from the liquid medium. The invention has application to separation or concentration of inorganic or organic particulate matter in laboratory or industrial processes.
