It can be considered excellent because it is possible. By the way, in the case of a rotary pressure dehydrator, the dehydrated cake moving in the dehydration chamber generally tends to be directed toward the center of rotation of the filter plate, that is, the inner ring spacer. Accordingly, the density of the dewatered cake decreases as the distance from the rotation center of the filter plate decreases, and the squeezing force decreases, so that a uniform filtration function cannot be exhibited over the entire width of the filtration surface. Nevertheless, in the case of the rotary pressure dehydrator according to the above conventional example, the scraper is oriented so that the tip thereof is directed toward the inner ring spacer, and the scraped dehydrated cake piece is Since the acting force in the direction of the inner ring spacer is received, the density of the dewatered cake becomes undesirably lower as it moves away from the rotation center of the filter plate.

  In addition, the scraper is fixed to the outer ring spacer on the base end side and has a free cantilever support structure on the front end side so that the scraper bends. It is difficult to scrape completely and a sufficient filtration function cannot be ensured over the entire width of the screen.

Hereinafter, the operation mode of the rotary pressure dehydrator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. That is, according to the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the sludge conditioned by the addition / mixing of the polymer flocculant is converted to a maximum of 100 kPa (about 1) by a sludge press-fitting pump (not shown). To 0.0 kgf / cm ² ). The dewatering in which the pressurized sludge is rotated at a slow speed of 0.5 to 1.3 rpm via the sludge inlet 9a, the sludge flow path, and the sludge inlet 11a that open to the lower side of the sludge supply section 9. Continuously supplied to the filtration zone 11b below the processing chamber 11 and efficiently dehydrated. And the sludge supplied to the lower filtration zone 11b of the dehydration processing chamber 11 is filtered in the filtration zone 11b, and the fluidity is gradually lost.

  Sludge whose fluidity has been reduced by filtration in the filtration zone 11b is gradually forming a cake layer on the surfaces of the disk-shaped first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8 provided with a large number of water permeation holes. The first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8 are rotated to move toward the squeezing and dehydrating zone 11c. Since the trapping of the solid matter is improved by the cake layer formed on the surfaces of the first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8, the filtrate is cleaned.

The sludge in the compressed dewatering zone 11c region has a maximum back pressure of 600 kPa by pressing force control of the back pressure plate 15 (air spring, actuator air pressure control) provided at the discharge port 10a of the dewatered cake discharge unit 10. It is kept at a constant pressure (adjustable) of (about 6.0 kgf / cm ² ). The sludge that has lost its fluidity is squeezed and dehydrated by the shear force generated by the first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8 and the back pressure generated by the back pressure plate 15. Then, the dehydrated cake having a low water content that has been squeezed and dehydrated is pushed out of the back pressure plate 15 and discharged from the dehydrated cake discharge unit 10 to the outside of the machine.

  According to the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the dewatered cake pieces scraped by the scraper 11d in the sludge dewatering process as described above are directed to the outer ring spacer 5 by the scraper 11. Since it receives the acting force in the direction and moves to the outer ring spacer 5 side, the degree of decrease in the density of the dewatered cake at the position in the dewatering chamber 11 away from the rotation center of the first and second filter plates 7 and 8 is reduced. be able to. Thereby, the squeezing force distribution over the full width of the filtration surface of the 1st, 2nd filtration plates 7 and 8 is equalized compared with the case of a prior art example, and the filtration function over the full width of the filtration surface is improved. Moreover, in this rotary pressurization dehydrator 1, the fine particle lump and the dewatering cake in the sludge adhering to each of the opposing inner surfaces of the first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8 are bent at both ends. The edge is scraped off by the scraper 11d that is in acute contact with the inner surfaces of the first filter plate 7 and the second filter plate 8, and clogging of the water permeation holes 7a and 8a is effective over the entire width of the filter surface. Therefore, sludge can be efficiently dehydrated.

  In order to confirm the sludge dewatering capacity of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the other end of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the scraper 11d is connected to the inner ring.

A sludge dewatering test was performed on a rotary pressure dehydrator (hereinafter referred to as a conventional rotary pressure dehydrator) on the plate rotation destination side.

As a result, in the case of the conventional rotary pressure dehydrator, the solids processing amount (sludge supply amount) is 116 kg-dS / m ² / hour, and the moisture content of the dehydrated cake obtained by dehydration is 82.5%. (The drug yield (ratio of solids) was about 0.9%). On the other hand, in the case of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the amount of solids processed (sludge supply amount) is 136 kg-dS / m ² / hour, and the water content of the dehydrated cake obtained by dehydration The rate was 79.5% (drug yield (ratio of solids) was about 0.9%, equivalent to that of the conventional type). Therefore, according to the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the solids throughput can be increased by 15% or more compared to the conventional rotary pressure dehydrator, and the moisture content of the dehydrated cake can be increased. Can be reduced by about 3% or more. Further, the solids recovery rate was 95% or more in all cases. The water content of the sludge supplied to the sludge inlet of the conventional rotary pressure dehydrator and the sludge inlet 11a of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention for the dehydration treatment is The flocculating agent used in this dehydration test is a cationic polymer flocculating agent.

  In addition, during the operation of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the conventional rotary pressure dehydrator, the presence of sludge near the outer ring spacer in each dewatering and pressing zone was visually confirmed. . As a result, in the conventional rotary pressurization dehydrator, an area of approximately 45 ° from the horizontal line passing through the rotation center O to the discharge port of the dewatered cake (for example, the two-dot chain line shown in FIG. In the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the presence of sludge and the movement of the dewatered cake in the direction of the discharge port 10a were hardly confirmed. Was also confirmed.

Since the countersunk machine screw 11e is fastened to the side surface of the inner ring spacer 4, each scraper 11d can be brought into contact with the entire width of the inner side surfaces of the first and second filter plates 7 and 8 with certainty. Therefore, according to the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the number of scrapers 11d can be reduced as compared with the conventional example, and the configuration of the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 can be simplified. This can greatly contribute to cost reduction.

Above the horizontal line passing through the rotation center O, the dimension from the rotation center O to the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring spacer 5 is set to gradually become smaller as it goes upward. More specifically, below the horizontal line passing through the rotation center O, the interval W ₀ between the intersections of the straight line passing through the rotation center O, the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring spacer 4 and the inner circumference of the outer ring spacer 5 is the same as that in the above embodiment. As in the first embodiment, above the horizontal line passing through the rotation center O, the interval W ₁ at the horizontal position is smaller than W ₀ , gradually increasing to W ₂ above W ₁ and further to W ₃ above. It sets so that it may become small, ie, a filtration area may reduce gradually.

  Therefore, according to the rotary pressure dehydrator 1 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, in the squeeze dehydration zone 11c, the squeezing action increases toward the dehydrated cake discharger 10 side, so the sludge dewatering rate is improved. The effect of doing can be obtained. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the inner ring spacer 4 and the partition spacer 6 are separated from each other. However, as in the second embodiment, the inner ring spacer 4 and the partition spacer 6 are integrally configured. May be.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the scraper 11d demonstrated the example of the rotary pressurization dehydrator currently fixed to the outer ring | wheel spacer 5 and the inner ring | wheel spacer 4 with the countersunk machine screw, it is not limited to this, A groove may be provided in each of the outer ring spacer 5 and the inner ring spacer 4, and the end portion of the scraper 11d may be inserted into each groove and fixed. In addition, the scraper is fixed at both ends of the scraper with both the outer ring spacer and the inner shaft spacer on the drive shaft side. However, the scraper may be fixed only on the outer ring spacer side, and a structure that does not rotate on the drive shaft side is provided ( For example, if the inner ring spacer does not rotate, etc., only the drive shaft side can be fixed.

Moreover, the example of the rotary pressurization dehydrator where the disk-shaped filter plate which has the filtration surface by which many water permeation holes are provided in the both sides of the width direction of the dehydration processing chamber 11 was arrange | positioned was demonstrated. However, for example, if a disc-shaped filter plate is disposed in any one of the width directions of the dehydration chamber, a certain effect can be obtained. Moreover, the example of the rotary pressure dehydrator which supplies the sludge to be dehydrated from the lower sludge supply section and discharges the dehydrated cake from the upper dehydrated cake discharge section has been described. However, the technical idea of the present invention is also applied to the rotary pressure dehydrator according to the conventional example in which the sludge is supplied from the upper sludge supply section and the dehydrated cake discharge section is discharged from the lower dewatered cake discharge section. can do. Furthermore, the example of the rotary pressurization dehydrator which used the punching metal for the filter plate was demonstrated.
However, any member that can separate sludge and moisture, such as a wedge wire screen, can be used, and is not particularly limited to punching metal.

  Accordingly, the rotary pressurization dehydrator according to the first and second embodiments is merely a specific example of the present invention, and design changes and the like within a range not departing from the technical idea of the present invention are free. The form of the pressure dehydrator is not limited to the form of the rotary pressure dehydrator according to the first and second embodiments.
