Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A portable system is described for preparing slurries and solutions which comprises an out-of-door storable bulk supply of particulate solid material in a container having a porous floor in combination with a mixing assembly which combination permits pneumatic fluidization and discharge of the particulate solid.
  • This invention relates to the preparation of slurries and solutions from bulk particulate solid material. More particularly, it relates to a system for preparing fire retardant solutions near the site of forest fires.
  • the retardant aids in extinguishing and preventsrekindling of the fire. Since time is of the essence, it is important to deliver fire retardant solution as quickly as possible.
  • the retardant solutions are transported and applied to the fire by fixed wing aircraft, helicoper, and motor vehicles. To avoid undue transport of water, the retardant solutions are prepared as close to the site of the fire as possible.
  • particulate retardant is delivered to the mix site via truck either in bulk trailer or palletized bags.
  • preparation of the retardant solution requires a water pump, compressor, and porous fluidizing floor for conveying particulate retardant pneumatically to an eductor-type mixer together with water.
  • An eductor-type mixer provides rapid mixing of a powder-laden air stream and water and discharges a thoroughly mixed retardant solution.
  • a duel eductor known as a Hamp Mixer, is often used for this purpose.
  • a porous floor, an air compressor, and power supply for the compressor are integral parts of the trailer. Air is passed through the porous floor to fluidize the retardant and the retardant is withdrawn through a conduit connected to the suction side of the eductor.
  • the bulk trailer has the advantage of supplying retardant in large quantities, often it cannot be used because of the lack of access roads which will accommodate the truck and trailer.
  • Another disadvantage of a trailer is that to sustain a multipoint attack upon the fire requires large capital expenditures since a trailer is required for each point of attack. Also, once a trailer is empty, a round trip of several hundred miles may be required for recharging and returning to the mix site.
  • bagged retardant In the case of bagged retardant, the bags are emptied into a hopper which is equipped with a porous floor, an air compressor and power supply for the compressor. Air is passed through the floor to fiuidize the retardant and the retardant is withdrawn via a conduit connected to the vacuum side of the eductor.
  • the bag-hopper system of powder feed offers greater mobility since the bagged retardant and hopper may be transported to areas inaccessible to trailers.
  • a major disadvantage of the bag hopper system is that several men are required to empty bags into the hopper to keep the system operating continuously and to maintain an adequate supply of retardant solution.
  • an efiicient portable system for the facile preparation of fire retardant solutions from particulate solid fire reactants is assembled which greatly simplifies the logistics of providing fire retardant solutions to remote areas and minimizes manpower requirements.
  • the heart of the system is a particulate solid supply assembly especially adapted for bulk storage and to accommodate pneumatic fluidization and discharge to a mixing assembly.
  • the storage bin is sealable against the elements and of a capacity constituting a stationary but portable bulk storage unit. That is to say, the bulk is so great that it cannot be handled manually but small enough that it can be easily handled by common mechanical equipment.
  • the bin is not a self contained mobile unit, i.e., it does not have its own wheels.
  • the bin is of simple construction from cheap and, in general, disposable materials being provided merely with a porous floor supporting the solid beneath which is a space for introducing the fluidizing gas, presumably air, and suitable inlets, outlets and vents but none of the mechanical mixing components are present.
  • a mechanical mixing assembly comprising an eductor-mixer for mixing airborne powder and water, a fluid pump, air compressor, independent power supply for the pump and compressor and connecting means for connecting the fluid pump and mixer and connecting means for connecting and mixing assembly and bulk retardant supply assembly; all of which components may be mounted on a platform or skid which make them easily transported by pick-up truck, two-wheel trailer, airplane or helicopter.
  • each bin has a porous floor and is already full of particulate reactant, the need for men to charge portable powder feed units is eliminated.
  • the bin has a capacity of about five hundred to four thousand pounds of retardant, preferably five hundred to two thousand pounds, which makes it like the mixing assembly, easily transportable by pickup truck, airplane or helicopter thereby providing access to areas not open to bulk trailers.
  • the smaller capacity bin may be dropped by parachute to isolated sites which cannot be reached by motor vehicles.
  • the bins are designed with an open space under the bin to accommodate lifting means and with features to accommodate stacking of the bins on top of one another.
  • the portable particulate solid supply assembly comprises a bulk retardant supply contained in a weatherproof bin with a porous floor which supports the retardant and which may be slightly tilted toward the outlet.
  • the particulate solid is fluidized by passage of a gas through the porous floor.
  • An enclosed air chamber is provided in the bottom of the bin to accommodate fluidization air supplied from the compressor of the mixer assembly.
  • An inlet to the air chamber is provided, which is sealable during storage and connects to the air compressor of the mixer assembly when operating the system.
  • a conduit for discharging the retardant to the mixer assembly is situated within the storage space of the bin.
  • the outlet which is scalable during storage connects to the vacuum side of the eductor-mixer when operating the system.
  • the bin is provided with a means for venting the storage space and with a sealable opening for charging the bin with retardant which opening may optionally serve as a vent when the system is in operation.
  • the base of the bin has legs or channels which provide an open space between the ground and the enclosed air chamber to accommodate handling by forklift.
  • the bin is substantially flat on the top and bottom which permits stacking of bins during storage or transit.
  • the walls and top of the bin above the porous floor are made of flexible plastic film, for example, 1-6 mil, preferably 3-4 mil, thick water and air impermeable polyethylene film.
  • the bin is assembled simply by sealing one end of a cylinder of polyethylene film to the top outside edge of the bottom of the bin thus forming a bag with a rigid bottom.
  • the bottom of the bin comprises a porous floor, enclosed air space beneath and a base.
  • the bag is filled with retardant and the top twisted shut and sealed by twisting a small wire or by use of a split plastic tab in the same manner as sealing a loaf of bread.
  • the use of plastic film for the main body of the bin is advantageous because plastic film is both light in weight and inexpensive. Bins made of plastic film are also stackable since they flatten when another bin is placed on top and the film has sufficient strength to hold the weight of one or more bins. However, it is recommended when stacking plastic film bins that a flat sheet.
  • the bin is weather proof and relatively inexpensive thus it can be stored out-of doors which permits spotting the bins throughout the fire control region and provides a retardant supply nearer to the fire when needed.
  • the strategically scattered supply of retardant-filled bins greatly reduces the time required to deliver retardant to the mix site.
  • the bins are stored adjacent to water sources which means that only the equipment assembly needs to be delivered and connected to the bins to complete the system.
  • the convenient size of the bin provides for quick and easy transport to the desired areaand because of the random placement of the bins a large nearby supply of retardant is always available.
  • the invention is described in terms of particulate fire retardants, of course, it is understood that the invention is suitable for the preparation of solutions or slurries from particulate solids other than fireretardant materials.
  • the invention is especially suited for unpredictable situations where a particulate solid supply is needed quickly but exactly when and where the supply is needed is uncertain.
  • the invention is applicable to any powdery solid which may be fluidized by passage of air or other gases through a porous membrane.
  • the system is adaptable to a wide range of powder sizes as long as a dry non-sticky particulate solid is used. Ordinarily, 40 mesh or finer sized particles are recommended but larger particles are suitable particularly with low bulk density materials.
  • the system and supply assembly is particularly useful for application of chemicals to neutralize streams which have been polluted by accidental spills in which quick application of control measures substantially reduces the extent of the damage resulting from the presence of the toxic material.
  • the invention may also be used for the preparation of drilling mud slurries at remote oil drilling locations.
  • Other uses for the invention are the preparation of fed streams for chemical processes, the preparation of ce ment mixtures, and the preparation of sugar solutions in cannery operations.

  • water from any convenient source enters inlet 11 and passes through conduit 12 to water pump 14 which provides water at the desired pressure and flow to the mixer through hoses 15.
  • Air from compressor 16 passes through hose 17 to the retardant storage bin 30 and fluidizes the particulate retardant.
  • a retardant-laden air stream is withdrawn into the mixer through hose 18 via the pressure differential created by the vacuum of the eductor.
  • the water and retardant-laden air streams are combined and mixed in mixer 20 and pass through conduit 22.
  • a solution of retardant is discharged at outlet 25 either to a surge tank or directly to the fire control apparatus.
  • internal combustion engines which operate water pump 14 and air compressor 16. Of course, a single engine can perform both functions by the appropriate gears or belts.
