Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filtering procedure in which the sludge to be filtered is passed into a filtering space between two opposite filter cloths or equivalent of a box filter, and in which the cake of solid matter produced •after the separation of fluid is dried by passing a stream of air through it, whereupon the cake is removed from the filtering space.
- Box filters are industrially used for the separation of solid materials from fluids. Such materials include e.g. cement, mineral coal and ore concentrates. Box filters are also used for the separation of solid matter from the sludge in sewage disposal plants.
- the box filter consists of a number of vertical filter plates forming a block inside which the filtering spaces are enclosed between adjacent plates, each filtering space being delimited by a filter cloth at least on one side of the space.
- the sludge to be filtered is supplied into the filtering space, where, in order to separate the filtrate, it is subjected to a pressure applied by a pressure medium, e.g. air, supplied into a space behind a separate pressing membrane. After this, the sludge cake thus produced can, if necessary, be washed by means of a washing fluid which is supplied into the filtering space and removed by applying a pressure again.
- the sludge cake can also be dried by blowing a stream of air, preferably compressed air, through the filtering space. Finally, on completion of the desired treatment of the sludge cake, the filtering space is opened for removal of the cake.
- a problem in the use of box filters is that the cake of solid matter formed in the filtering space tends to stick fast to the filter cloth so that it does not fall down from the filtering space when the filter is opened. For this reason, the filtering spaces are opened separately and the filter plates are manually shaken to detach the cake. How ⁇ ever, this means that removing the cake takes up a consider ⁇ able portion of the total time of the filtering cycle. In addition, the procedure requires one person to take care that the cakes are removed from the filter.
- the filter cloth Due to the problems associated with the detaching of the sludge cake from the filter cloth, the filter cloth has in some cases been chosen in the first place with a view to its properties regarding detachment of the cake. However, a cloth thus selected is seldom the best possible choice in respect of its filtering properties.
- the object of the present invention is to create a new and more effiecient solution for the detaching of the cake of solid matter from a box filter.
- the invention is character ⁇ ized in that the cake is dried in the filtering space by passing a stream of air into the cake first from one side and then from the opposite side of the filtering space in such manner that the air flows in opposite directions through the cake during these drying phases and, penetrating through the filter cloth into the cake, at the same time detaches the cake from the cloth, allowing it to be subse ⁇ quently removed.
- An essential advantage provided by the invention is that the cake of solid matter can be removed from the filter without introducing any detaching instruments, such as scrapers or nozzles for compressed air, into the filtering space after it has been opened. Thus, a simple box filter construction is maintained.
- the solution of the invention is highly advantageous in view of automatization of the filter ⁇ ing process, allowing the filtering capacity to be increased while at the same time reducing the need for supervision of the process.
- the invention is suited for application in box filters in which the filtering space is delimited on either side by a fixed filter cloth.
- a separate pressing membrane behind each filter cloth there is a separate pressing membrane, and the drying air is supplied into the space between the cloth and the membrane and further through the cloth into the sludge cake alternately from either side of the filtering space. In this manner, the cake is detached from the filter cloth first on one side and then on the opposite side of the cake.
- the invention can also be applied in box filters having in which the filtering space is delimited on one side by a filter cloth and on the other by a pressing membrane.
- a free space is formed between the membrane and the sludge cake, so that a stream of drying air can be passed into or out of the cake through this space.
- the cake is detached from the filter cloth by passing streams of air through it in opposite directions as explained above.
- drying phases may be followed by one or more similar phases, during which air is passed through the cake in a direction opposite to the direction of the air flow in the previous drying phase.
- FIGs. 1-5 illustrate successive stages of the filtering process in a box filter.
- Fig. 6 shows a magnified view of the filter cloth delimiting the filtering space, and of the membrane behind it.
- Fig. 7 represents a filter plate used in a box filter.
- FIG. 7 The filtering process illustrated by figures 1-5 takes place in a box filter consisting of a block of vertical filter plates as shown in fig. 7.
- the spaces between the vertical plates constitute the filtering spaces 2 into which the sludge to be filtered is supplied.
- Each filtering space 2 is delimited on either side by a filter cloth 3, behind which is a flexible pressing membrane 4.
- the surface of the pressing membrane 4 is provided with protrusions 5 as shown in fig. 6, enabling the drying air and the liquid separated from the sludge to flow between the filter cloth and the pressing membrane.
- channels 6-10 Communicating with the filtering spaces 2 are channels 6-10 for the supply of sludge and possible washing fluid into the filtering spaces, for the removal of the washing fluid and the liquid separated from the sludge, and for the supply of the drying air blown through the cakes of solid matter formed in the filter.
- the filter has channels 11 for the supply of a pressure medium into the spaces 12 provided behind the pressing membranes 4.
- the filtering space 2 is filled with sludge supplied via channel 6 as shown in fig. 1.
- the liquid separated from the sludge pene ⁇ trates the filter cloths 3 and is removed via channels 7 and 8.
- the spaces 12 behind the pressing membranes 4 are pressurized by a pressure medium, e.g. compressed air, sup ⁇ plied via channels 11.
- the membranes are now pressed against the sludge in the filtering space 2 as shown in fig. 2, so that most of the liquid contained in the sludge flows out into channels 7 and 8.
- the spaces 12 are then depressurized and, as illustrated by fig.
- compressed air is supplied from channel 9 into the space between the filter cloth 3 and the pressing membrane 4 on the left-hand side of the fil- " tering space 2 to dry the cake 13 of solid matter formed in the filtering space.
- the compressed air causes the pressing membranes 4 to return to their initial position and flows through the cake 13 and is exhausted via channel 8.
- the compressed air also detaches the cake from the cloth.
- the sludge cake 13 is further dried by passing a stream of compressed air through the cake in a direction opposite to the direction of the air flow during the previous phase.
- the compressed air is now supplied from channel 10 into the space between the filter cloth 3 and the pressing membrane 4 on the right-hand side of the cake 13, from where the air flows through the cake and is exhausted via channel 7.
- the air flow now detaches the cake from the filter cloth 3 on the right-hand side of the cake.
- the sludge cake is to be washed in connection with the filtering, it is possible to supply a stream of washing fluid into the cake either through channel 9 or channel 10, in the same way as the drying air is supplied.
- the cake can also be compressed by supply ⁇ ing a flow of a pressure medium into the spaces 12 behind the pressing membranes 4 so that the membranes are pressed against the cake, forcing the washing fluid to flow out through channels 7 and 8.
- the second air drying phase represented by fig 4 during which the air flows from right to left, can be followed by a third drying phase as shown in fig. 3, during which the air is supplied via channel 9, flows through the cake from left to right and is exhausted via channel 8.
