Definitions

  • the invention concerns a mixing system designed to introduce chemical substances in a fluid to be treated.
  • a process for the treatment of the waste water of a paper mill include the use of a polyelectrolyte, for example a cationic flocculant powder, or even, for example, a cationic polyacrylamide, suited to be applied in the clariflocculation of water containing organic substances, in sludge thickening treatments, in sludge dehydration processes and also in other processes carried out in paper mills, such as froth flotation.
  • a polyelectrolyte for example a cationic flocculant powder
  • a cationic polyacrylamide suited to be applied in the clariflocculation of water containing organic substances, in sludge thickening treatments, in sludge dehydration processes and also in other processes carried out in paper mills, such as froth flotation.
  • these polymers need premixing with water at a preestablished concentration.
  • premixing step is carried out in static mixing tanks, in which the polymer is introduced after being taken from a small storage container; said polymers are normally diluted in solutions between 0.2% and 1%, therefore they are very demanding in terms of water usage.
  • a booster pump introduces the water with the polymer into a pipe leading to a tank or a channel for the treatment of waste sludge.
  • the patent document US5314076 describes a system for mixing two fluid phases, more specifically for mixing a treatment fluid with a fluid to be treated; said system comprises two concentric chambers that communicate with each other at least with their ends, the central chamber being provided with two turbines whose rotation axis is equal to the axis of symmetry of the installation.
  • the fluid to be treated flows in from the top, flows out from the bottom and the turbines are interposed between the inlet and the outlet.
  • the diffuser and the mixer define three internal chambers that are superimposed in vertical direction, an upper chamber, a central chamber and a lower chamber, as well as an external annular region. Each of the three internal chambers is in fluid communication with the annular region.
  • the fluid to be treated flows in from the top, flows out from the bottom and the turbines are interposed between the inlet and the outlet.

  • a second embodiment of a mixing system is schematically represented in Figure 2 and therein indicated by the numeral 110.
  • the specific characteristic of the mixing system 110 lies in that the container 111, comprising an external wall 112, an internal wall 113, a bottom 114 and a cover 115, comprises also an intermediate wall 150.
  • Said intermediate wall 150 defines, together with the external wall 112 and the internal wall 113, three concentric mixing chambers, a first central chamber 116 defined within the internal wall 113, a second intermediate chamber 117 that surrounds the first chamber 116 and a third external chamber 153 that surrounds the second chamber 117.

  • the inlet duct 119 and the outlet duct 120 are both advantageously positioned in proximity to the bottom 114 with respect to a configuration of use of the mixing system 110.
  • the mixing system 110 comprises a flow deviation element 140 configured to deviate the fluid flowing out of the first chamber 116 or the second chamber 117 towards the third chamber 153.
  • Said flow deviation element 140 is placed on the bottom 114.
  • Said flow deviation element 140 is constituted by a body in the shape of a cone or truncated cone, configured to deviate the flow towards the outside in radial direction.
  • the mixing system 110 comprises an injection passage 122 for the introduction of a chemical additive in one or more points of the labyrinthine mixing path 130.
  • the mixing system 10 operates in such a way that the fluid to be treated, for example sludge, flows into the first chamber 16 through the inlet duct 19 and, thanks to gravity and to the action of the stirring blades 18, flows downwards, towards the passage opening 37, in which it is deviated upwards into the second chamber 17; while flowing upwards along the second chamber 17 the treated fluid meets the outlet duct 20 and is conveyed into it.
  • the fluid to be treated for example sludge
  • a chemical additive for example cationic polyacrylamide, is injected in the fluid to be treated during its passage through said labyrinthine mixing path 30.
  • the mixing system 110 operates in such a way that the fluid to be treated flows into the first chamber 116 through the inlet duct 119 and is conveyed upwards thanks to the action of the stirring blades 118.
  • the fluid follows a labyrinthine mixing path 130 in which it passes through all of the three chambers, the first 116, the second 117 and the third 153, and from the latter passes into the outlet duct 120.
  • the invention provides a mixing system thanks to which the fluid to be treated and the chemical additive are mixed with no need for the chemical additive to be prepared, meaning diluted, in advance in costly and bulky water tanks, thus drastically reducing water consumption.
  • the chemical additive for example a cationic flocculant polymer
  • a cationic flocculant polymer is activated when it comes in direct contact with a fluid to be treated, and this happens directly inside the first, the second and, if necessary, the third chamber.
  • the invention provides a mixing system which, thanks to the stirring effect produced by the stirring blades, improves the effectiveness and the efficiency of the chemical additive; for example, in the case of organic sludge, in which the sludge has an apolar surface membrane, the strong stirring action favours the breakage of said membrane and makes anionic sites available; the introduction of and the mixing with a cationic polyelectrolyte make the anionic sites react with the cationic polyelectrolyte releasing water molecules, which favours a greater separation of the solid fraction of the fluid being treated from the liquid fraction.
  • the invention provides a mixing system that makes it possible to drastically reduce the use of water when preparing a polyelectrolyte intended to be introduced in a flow of waste fluid to be treated.
  • the invention provides a mixing system that favours the reduction of energy consumption in waste water treatment processes, since it is no more necessary to manage a mixing and storage tank and the efficiency in terms of separation of the dry fraction from the liquid fraction is improved compared to the known treatment systems.
  • the invention provides a mixing system that improves water retention from sludge, thus increasing the quantity of dry product obtainable.
  • the invention provides a mixing system that is capable of reducing waiting times before the beginning of the action of the polymer in solution on the fluid to be treated, consequently improving the effectiveness of the polymer itself; this has been obtained by introducing the chemical additive directly in the fluid to be treated and subjecting both of them to a mixing action produced by the stirring blades.
  • the invention provides a compact mixing system that can be easily set up also in existing waste water purification or treatment systems or sludge drying systems.
  • the invention provides a mixing system that limits the proliferation of bacteria on the same polyelectrolytes, thanks to the direct introduction of the same polyelectrolytes directly in the fluid to be treated, without providing for a storage period before use.
  • any components and any materials can be used, provided that they are compatible with the intended use, and any shape and size can be selected, according to the needs and the state of the art.
