Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A multiple jet aerator module or header which is formed substantially completely of fiber glass and which includes a right-circular tubular sheet-form liquid duct and a right-semicircular tubular sheet-form air duct having a radius substantially less than the radius of the liquid duct. Molded fiber glass liquid nozzles are located along the length of the liquid duct and a corresponding number of liquid-air nozzles are located along the length of the air duct in register with the liquid nozzles.
  • This invention relates generally to the field of waste liquid treatment in which air or other oxygencontaining gas is introduced into waste liquid to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to a multiple jet aerator for adding air or oxygen to the waste liquid being treated.
  • air will be used from time to time in the description to follow, it should be understood that the invention is sufficiently broad to encompass the use of any oxygen-containing gas, including, but not limited to air.
  • Another method for reducing the B. O. D. of the waste liquid involves the retention of the liquid in a pond or the like and introducing air or oxygen under pressure through a tube or diffuser or the like directly into the waste liquid below the surface thereof. While this system increases the rate at which the B. O. D. is reduced, it does involve operating costs in the form of horsepower consumption for the air fans or compressors or the like.
  • Jet aeration principles have, in fact, been utilized in a number of installations involving waste liquid treatment. including activated sludge systems in which the introduction of the air or oxygen into the waste liquid is accomplished in what has been generally referred to as an aeration tank.
  • the jet aerators which have been utilized in such installations have been formed of metal. generally a machined casting made of bronze or the like.
  • Such generators while efficient in terms of gasliquid transfer, are rather expensive to manufacture and thus the initial cost of jet aeration systems utilizing jet aerators has been relatively high vis-a-vis some of the other well known aeration systems.
  • each of the jet aerators constitutes an individual device and thus if, for example, the required capacity of the aeration system is such to necessitate the use of 20 or 30 jet aerators of a given size, each must be individually manufactured.
  • the initial cost of such a large number of jet aerators has in many instances reduced the applicability or feasability of jet aeration systems, notwithstanding the enhanced operating efficiencies derived through the use of such systems.
  • the present invention addresses itself to a reduction in the initial cost of jet aeration systems and in many respects improves upon the performance of such systems, not only by virtue of the materials involved in the manufacture of the jet aerators but also by virtue of the configuration thereof.
  • the present invention may be summarized as comprising a multiple jet aerator module which is formed from a number of components into a unitary structure which embodies not only a plurality of jet aerators but also a liquid duct as well as an air duct for conducting waste liquid and air to the jet aerators.
  • the liquid and air ducts are formed of light weight filament wound fiber glass and the liquid and liquid-air nozzles are formed of molded fiber glass.
  • the method of fabricating the unitary structure is also involved in the present invention, as a consequence of which the cost of fabrication is substantially less than the cost of manufacturing an equal number of previously known individual jet aerators, along with the liquid and air manifolds which interconnect the jet aerators.
  • the present invention renders a jet aeration system comperable to the previously known, less efficient aeration systems, and as a consequence combines the high airliquid transfer efficiency of a jet aeration system with the relatively low initial cost of the previously known aeration systems.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates diagrammatically a top plan view of an aeration tank, a so-called oxidation ditch or the like equipped with a pair of multiple jet aerator modules constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of one of said multiple jet aerator modules.
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the jet aerator module shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is an end view of the jet aerator module as viewed along the lines IV-IV shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view taken along the lines VV shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of a liquid-air nozzle of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of a liquid nozzle of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 is illustrative of an aeration tank or oxidation ditch or the like in which is confined a quantity of waste liquid to be treated.
  • the tank which is indicated at reference number 10, is illustrated as being circularly shaped in top plan view but it should be appreciated that the configuration of the tank or ditch 10 shown in FIG. 1 is merely examplary.
  • the tank or ditch may take other forms, need not be circularly or cylindrically shaped and in some instances may be oblong and take on the appearance of a race track when viewed from above.
  • a pair of multiple jet aerator modules Residing within the tank 10 and submerged below the level of the waste liquid confined therein are a pair of multiple jet aerator modules, indicated at reference numerals 11, both of which are constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • the modules l1, l1 may be identical in form and in the illustrated embodiment are positioned in a manner to promote the flow of the waste liquid in the tank 10 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • one of the advantages in disposing the modules in the manner illustrated is to produce or generate movement of the waste liquid, thereby maintaining any settleable solids that may be contained in the waste liquid in suspension.
  • each of the modules 11 may be characterized as comprising a unitary elongated or axial structure, along the length of which are located in space relation a plurality of liquid-air nozzles, as indicated at reference numerals 12.
  • a pair of flanges 13, 13 are provided at the opposite ends of the module 11 to receive a pair of end caps 14, 14, which may be secured to the flanges 13, 13 by any suitable fastening means such as the bolts indicated at reference numerals 16 in FIG. 4.
  • a conduit 18 Extending forwardly from one end 17 of the module 11 is a conduit 18 for delivering air or other oxygencontaining gas from a supply conduit 19 to the module 11.
  • a conduit 21 Extending downwardly from an opposite end portion 20 of the module 11 is a conduit 21 for supplying pressurized waste liquid to the module 11 from a supply conduit 22.
  • the unitary structure which comprises the multiple jet aerator module 11 is formed of several components, one of which is a cylindrically shaped member 23 which forms the waste liquid duct or manifold for servicing the various liquid-air nozzles 12.
  • the liquid duct 23 is essentially tubularly sheetform in configuration and in the preferred embodiment is made of light weight filament wound fiber glass.
  • the liquid duct 23 preferably extends in one piece the entire length of the module 11 and is initially formed by known manufacturing methods utilizing filament would fiber glass of solid wall construction, no provision being initially made for the liquid-air nozzles 12.
  • a second member comprises an air duct 24 which is also formed of light weight filament wound fiber glass.
  • the duct 24 also preferably extends the entire length of the module 11 and is initally constructed of tubular or cylindrical configuration and then split or cut along the length thereof to provide the light-semicircular cylinder as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the method of forming the air duct 24 from a right circular cylinder which has been divided into two identical right-semicircular cylinders provides the added advantage of being able to form two air ducts 24 for two of the modules 11 from a single fiber glass cylinder.
  • the radius of the air duct 24 is less than the radius of the liquid duct 23 and in the preferred embodiment the radius of the former is approximately two-thirds the radius of the latter to provide a tear drop configuration in cross section for reasons which become more apparent hereinafter.
  • the air duct 24 is bonded to the outer surface of the liquid duct 23 by means of any suitable bonding material such as epoxy resin or the like as indicated at reference numerals 26.
  • the resin bond may comprise a dead or weld running along the entire length of the liquid duct 23 to provide not only an exceptional air-liquid seal but also to provide a very secure and rigid affixation between the liquid and air ducts 23 and 24.
  • a plurality of longitudinally spaced radially aligned bores as indicated at reference numeral 27, are formed in the liquid ducts 23 to receive a corresponding plurality of liquid nozzles as indicated at reference numeral 28.
  • the liquid nozzles 28 are provided with a flange portion 29 which, in side view, conforms to the shape of the walls of the liquid duct 23.
  • the flange portion 29 comprises an outer wall surface 30 which conforms to the configuration of the bore 27 formed in the wall of the liquid conduit 23.
  • the liquid nozzles 28 are also securely fastened to the liquid ducts 23 and may preferably be bonded thereto by means of resin as discussed above in connection with the bonded connection 26.
  • a plurality of bores as indicated at reference numeral 31 are formed in the air duct 24 and register with and in concentric relation to the bores 27 formed in the liquid duct 23 and the liquid nozzles 28 mounted thereon.
  • a liquid air nozzle is then mounted on and bonded to the air duct 24 at each of the bores 31.
  • the preferred embodiment utilizes a resin for the purpose of securing and bonding the liquid-air nozzles 12 to the air duct 24.
  • the liquid air nozzles instead of being entirely smooth-walled, may be provided with an end flange 32 as shown in FIG. 6. The provision of the flange 32 and the abutment thereof against the inner wall of the air duct 24 provides a stronger fastening connection by virtue of the fact that the resin bonding material may cover an entire forward wall surface 33 of the flange 32, rather than merely a narrow banded portion of the outer periphery of the liquid nozzle 12.
  • the liquid-air nozzles must be secured to the air ducts 24 before that duct is secured to the liquid duct 23, since the outer dimensions of the flange 32 exceed the diameters of the bores 31.
  • the entire assembly comprising the liquid ducts 23, the air duct 24, the plurality of liquid nozzles 28 and the plurality of the liquid-air nozzles 12 are all secured together bonded to provide a unitary structure the entire assembly is covered with a layer of filament wound fiber glass as shown in reference numeral 34.
  • This outer layer 34 of fiber glass so totally and completely combines and secures the air duct 24 to the liquid duct 23 that the strength and rigidity of the entire module 11 is at least as great as would be if the entire structure were molded as an integral or monolithic structure.
  • the module 11 is approximately six times as strong as it would be if it were made of steel of comparable weight. Furthermore it is much more corrosion resistant than previously utilized materials and manifests greater thermal resistance than it would be if it were manufactured of a thermoplastic material, for example. It is much more errosion resistant than would be the case if it were made of thermoplastics, for example, asis much more rigid than a similar member made of steel or thermoplastic.
  • the module 11 is extremely light weight when compared with other materials and this enhances theretrievability of the module. For example, in operation it may be desired from time to time to raise the module. 11 above the liquid level for inspection purposes or the like. Because of the fiber glass constructon the module 11 can be lifted by means of a cable, winch or the like which may be attached to the flanges 13 and the end caps 14 by means of apertures formed therein as indicated at reference numerals 36, 36 in FIG. 5. Furthermore the module 11 may be quite long, extending feet and beyond, and suffer no substantial bowing or lagging.
  • the flexibility inherent in the fabrication and utilization of the multiple jet aerator module 11 may also result in the optimization of the liquid pump and air compressor which serve to pump the waste liquid and the air through the liquid and air ducts 23 and 24.
  • the pump and air compressors have not been selected to provide the most efficient size relationship because to do so require a substantially increased number of jet aerators.
  • the number of liquid-air jet nozzles has little bearing on cost and as many as space permits can be accommodated.
  • the liquid pumps and air compressors can now be selected to provide optimum size relationship without any real concern for the number of jet aerators which will be required in order to fully enjoy the benefits of such size relationships.
  • the radius of the air duct 24 is approximately two-thirds the radius of the liquid duct 23 in the preferred embodiment.
  • This relationship provides a tear drop design, as shown in FIG. 5, of exceptional aerodynamic qualities.
  • the two modules 11, 11 are arranged to circulate the liquid within the tank 10 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the purpose of this circulation is to maintain in suspension those settleable solids which may be in the waste liquid.
  • the tear drop design of the module 11 as shown in FIG. 5 materially reduces the drag resistance to the liquid within the tank 10.
  • a multiple jet aerator module comprising a liquid duct including a tubular sheet-form member and a plurality of longitudinally spaced circumferentially aligned liquid nozzles, and an air duct including a sheet-form member mounted on said liquid duct to form a passage therebetween and including a plurality of longitudinally spaced circumferentially aligned liquid-air nozzles,
  • said liquid-air nozzles corresponding in number to and being disposed respectively in radial alignment with said liquid nozzles.
  • liquid duct tubular sheet-form member comprises a circumferentially continuous right-circular cylinder.
  • said air duct sheet-form member comprises a right-semi circular cylinder 4.
  • said liquid and air ducts are formed of light weight filament wound reinforced fiber glass.
  • liquid nozzles are formed of molded fiber glass and bonded to said liquid duct sheet-form member.
  • liquid-air nozzles are formed of fiber glass and bonded to said air duct sheet-form member.
  • liquid duct tubular sheet-form member comprises a circumferentially continuous right-circular cylinder and said air duct sheet-form member comprises a rightsemicircular cylinder, the radius of said air duct being substantially less than the radius of said liquid duct.
  • the method of making a multiple jet aerator module comprising the steps of forming a one-piece tubular shaped circumferentially continuous sheet-form fiber glass liquid duct of constant cross-sectional configuration along the length thereof, providing a plurality of longitudinally spaced circumferentially aligned bores in said liquid duct,
