Definitions

• the invention relates to a separating device for separating a constituent of a liquid, with a container,
• a filter material capable of binding the component, for example oil, and
• utility model DE 90 040 19.8 describes a device for extracting light liquid separated in a liquid separator.
• This has a housing in which in turn a container is arranged.
• a container In the container is a bag filled with an oil binder.
• the Olbindesch is a buoyant granules based on polyurethane foam.
• the wastewater contaminated with light liquid enters the housing through the inlet opening.
• the oil binder in the container is largely unsaturated, the container only slightly immersed in the light liquid layer. The light liquid penetrates the container and the sack containing the oil binder and is adsorbed by the oil binder.
• DE 600 04 523 D2 also describes a separation device and a separation method for separating liquids with different density.
• the device described therein works on the same principle, namely that an adsorbing material is saturated with one of the two liquids and thereby in the other liquid decreases.
• An essential difference, however, is that in this device, the entire volume flow must pass through the separating component, which consists of an adsorbent material.
• the partition member is disposed within a container so as to completely fill the cross section of the container.
• a disadvantage of this device is the friction between the separating component and the container. With increasing adsorption or contamination of the separating component, by temperature changes and pressure fluctuations, the friction conditions change, which in turn has an influence on the filtering and the necessary energy expenditure. The device is prone to errors and can lead to increased maintenance.
• the separators or oil / water separator also have the disadvantage that the discharge times are very long before a change of the absorbent material and the absorbent material or the filter having this material, for larger devices has a considerable weight.
• the object of the invention is to provide a separating device, which allows a simple and quick replacement of the filter material.
• the flow through the filter material should be uniform.
• Another object is to design the separation device such that it can be adapted to different spatial conditions. Also, an adjustment in terms of volume flows and / or in terms of the amount of liquid to be deposited should be possible.
• the object is achieved by a separation device having the features of patent claim 1. Accordingly, the filter material is arranged in a cartridge inserted into the container.
• the arrangement of the filter material in a cartridge allows a better flow and / or a facilitation of the exchange of the filter material.
• the filter material is made of polypropylene, for example. It is, for example, porous or a fiber material.
• the cartridge is closed, for example, except for an inlet opening and an outlet opening in liquid-conducting connection with the outlet of the container and made of plastic.
• the cartridge is designed segment-like. This means that a plurality of cartridges or cartridge segments can be inserted into a container. The otherwise available for only one cartridge volume is thus used by several smaller individual cartridges.
• the cartridges can be arranged side by side or one above the other, it is essential that the available space is utilized as effectively as possible.
• the cartridges may each have triangular cross sections, so that four cartridges arranged adjacent to one another optimally fill the rectangular cross section of the container.
• a horizontal partition may be provided, in which the cartridges are stacked on top of each other.
• cartridge is used for both cartridges and cartridge segments.
• the individual cartridges may each have their own inlets, through which the liquid or the liquid mixture flows into them, in a particularly advantageous variant, the individual cartridges are immersed together in the liquid level of the container.
• This has the advantage that the liquid is optimally distributed to all cartridges. This results in a better separation result and, due to the even utilization of the individual cartridges, it is achieved that the filter material within the cartridges is saturated at about the same time, so that all cartridges can be changed in a single exchange operation.
• the individual cartridges can also be connected to one another in such a way that the liquid or the condensate first flows into a first cartridge and from there through an outlet of the first cartridge and a corresponding inlet of a second cartridge into the second cartridge.
• Stacked or in-line cartridges may preferably be interconnected by a central or riser.
• the riser pipe preferably extends coaxially through the individual cartridges and has openings through which the liquid which has flowed through the cartridges or the filter material located therein can flow into the interior of the riser pipe.
• This embodiment is particularly suitable for an arrangement of the cartridges one above the other.
• the cartridges thus surround the riser area by area, wherein the liquid or the condensate can flow from above, from below or radially through corresponding cartridge openings in the cartridge wall into the cartridges.
• the cartridges are completely inside the liquid in the container.
• a plurality of cartridges can be arranged one above the other and additionally next to each other.
• several towers each consisting of several cartridges, arranged side by side.
• the cartridges can be interconnected within the container, but they can also be kept completely independent of each other within the container.
• the cartridges may each be attached to the riser, but may also be interconnected. It is essential that a floating of the cartridges is prevented. This can be achieved solely by connecting the cartridges to the riser.
• the cartridges have central openings in which a cartridge sealing ring is arranged. About these openings, the cartridges are pushed onto the riser. By friction, a floating is prevented.
• further or exclusively means for releasable connection between the cartridge and the container are provided which, for example, can likewise prevent the cartridge from floating.
• manual intervention is required to release the connection.
• the means are then arranged on the top of the cartridge.
• these means comprise frictional engagement or locking means, so that the solution of the compound if possible no additional handle than the separation movement is required. It is not necessary to push the cartridges down for the purpose of sealing force, but holding down is all about avoiding floating.
• the means for releasable connection between the cartridges and the container may be carried out, for example, by handrails, additional weights or locks, which are attacked or arranged depending on the arrangement either below, above or on the side of the cartridge.
• a catch on the container bottom is particularly advantageous.
• a sealing ring which is made of elastic material and having latching noses, has sufficient holding force for a cartridge to prevent floating. Due to the elasticity, it is nevertheless possible to pull the respective cartridge upwards out of the sealing ring, since the latching noses are then deformed.
• a riser pipe which is arranged within the respective cartridge, placed on the sealing ring located at the bottom, wherein the locking lugs of the sealing ring engage in corresponding openings or undercuts.
• the sealing ring may preferably also be arranged in an opening of the cartridge, which is placed on the upright riser or container.
• the locking lugs of the sealing ring engage in corresponding openings or undercuts, which are arranged on the riser pipe of the container.
• This variant has the advantage that the sealing rings are also removed when changing the cartridge or the cartridge segment, whereby excessive wear of the sealing rings is avoided.
• the separation device can be used with a preceding or downstream sucking or pushing pump as a flow regulator. In any case, the aim is always to maintain the given flow, which is why the pump is understood to be a flow regulator. This results in significantly longer service life for the separator.
• the pump can be level regulated or time controlled. Under level control is understood that the pump then turns on when a corresponding amount is reached within the separator. Alternatively, and especially with a regular inflow into the separator, the pump can be switched on after certain time intervals. It is also conceivable a combination of the two possibilities.
• the cartridges according to the invention have a substantially triangular cross-section which is isosceles and rectangular. With 2, 4, 8 or 16 etc. cartridges can then always form a square figure. This arrangement offers the advantage that container sizes in the cross-sectional ratio of 1: 2: 4, etc., which have the best possible ratio between cross-sectional area and circumference, thus result with a uniform cartridge.
• Another significant advantage of using the pump is that the pump can pump in the reverse direction and thus the separator can be cleaned by backwashing.
