Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the continuous treatment of industrial liquids in the agrifood sector by intermittent filtration with automatic renewal of the filtering medium.
- this process brings significant improvements.
- DIFFUSION obviously contains sugar, but also many other organic elements such as lipids, proteins, starch, saponins, (etc.), which will prevent concentration and crystallization sugar in the following industrial operations. It is to remove all these disturbing elements that the diffusion juice (A), commonly called green juice, goes through a stage called PURIFICATION. It is briefly recalled on the diagram of the classic purification process on page n ° 16.
- This juice called limed juice
- This juice is heated by hot water against the current in exchangers (4) then by steam in tubular heaters (5); the limed juice is homogenized in a tank (6), then sent to a carbonating boiler (8) by a premixer (7).
- the operation, called 1st CARBONATION allows, by contact with carbon dioxide, to precipitate the lime milk in calcium carbonate.
- a pump constantly fills a feed tank (11) located high up, the role of which is to supply filtration devices (12), called 1st filters, from which it leaves, on the one hand a phase very concentrated in calcium carbonate: sludge (B), and on the other hand, a filtrate called JU FILTER OF 1st CARBONATION or JF1 (F).
- filtration devices (12) called 1st filters, from which it leaves, on the one hand a phase very concentrated in calcium carbonate: sludge (B), and on the other hand, a filtrate called JU FILTER OF 1st CARBONATION or JF1 (F).
- the first sludge is sent itself from a tank (13), on rotary canvas filters (14) operating under vacuum (15, 16, 17, 18). It produces an extremely concentrated carbonate phase.
- the filtered juice 1 is then reheated by hot water in countercurrent in exchangers (21), then remixed with carbon dioxide.
- JT2 cloudy 2nd carbonation juice
- the JT2 is itself sent on filters (25)
- This filtrate contains approximately 14 to 15g of sugar per 100ml and free mineral ions, with a preponderance of calcium ions provided by the lime milk and not having been precipitated by the two carbonation operations.
- the second sludge is recycled from a tank (26) either into first sludge, or limed juice, or in JTl.
- a tank (26) either into first sludge, or limed juice, or in JTl.
- Each of these recycling poses problems: in 1st and JTl sludge, 2nd sludge brings an undesired dilution because they increase the flow rate of liquid-solid mixture to be treated in filtration and risk in case of non control of the parameters of the 'purification (plant start-up phase or thawing beet processing) to clog up the filtration capacity concerned.
- the recycling of the 2nd sludge into limed juice brings about a concentration of fine particles of calcium carbonate, which is undesirable since it causes deposits on the exchangers through which the limed juice passes to be heated to the appropriate temperature in order to ensure the optimum yield of the carbonation.
- the filtered juice 2 is then sent for decalcification and then for evaporation.
- the filtration devices commonly used for 1st and 2nd filtration operations are designed identically and. differ only by different filter surfaces and different filter media. They are in the form of a cylindrical tank with a truncated bottom. They are fitted at the top with a cover.
- the filter media are fabrics, often based on polyamides, covering, like socks, wire mesh frames. These frames are suspended and fixed in the cylindrical tank so that the connection allowing the exit of the filtered juice out of the frame is made in a central collector located outside the cylindrical tank. These frames are removable provided that the filters are stopped and the cover removed.
- connection nut loosens the connection nut from the frame to the outlet manifold, repeats this operation as many times as there are frames, then slings all of the frames on a hoist and ensures the lifting of the whole. together and takes off the cloths. It is necessary to remember that the juices are at around 80 ° C and that the fabrics during disassembly are full of cakes: the working conditions are therefore appalling.
- This dismantling operation lasts between one and two hours and is repeated approximately every two to three days depending on the filterability of the juices, which very much depends on the purification settings, which are themselves difficult to stabilize because the composition of the juices greens depends on the terroir in which the beets are grown, the time spent by the beets above ground since uprooting and the sanitary state of these: for example, previously frozen beets, during thawing, can cause a blockage of filtration if certain purification adjustment points are not followed very precisely and rigorously.
- the filters are supplied with cloudy juice (1st or 2nd) from the top or from the bottom of the cylindrical tank, depending on the manufacturer, and this at one, two, or more points. filter from above, ensures at the same time as filtration, settling of the heaviest particles.
- the juice passes through the canvas, then the grid and joins the central collector for juice filtered by a pipe fitted with a valve.
- This valve makes it possible, in the event of drilling of the fabric, to avoid the passage of the juice. It is obvious that this requires rigorous monitoring in production, all the heavier the higher the number of filters. The higher the number of filters, the higher the capacity of the plant, and in the event of difficult conditions.
- the sludge comes out from the bottom of the filter, i.e. through the tip of the cone.
- a valve controlled by a servo motor, controlled by a timer opens for a given time between two treatment times. Again, the setting is sharp: if the opening is too short, or if the time between two openings is too long, the filter quickly fills with sludge, no longer does a good job and ends up being so clogged that it may become impossible to dismantle the frames.
- the air mattress constantly present under the lid, leads to the possibility of infections with leuconostoc or various microorganisms, which are frequent in sugar factories as soon as there are dead spots with air.
- the circuit used by the candle cleaning liquid is the same as that of the filtered juice and sludge. Any error or malfunction of the valves connecting these circuits to those of cleaning can cause serious incidents related to the passage of acid in basic elements containing a precipitate of calcium carbonate. During cleaning, the filter is stopped for production. There is therefore a need, here too, for more filters than the simple necessity linked to a homogeneity of production. Finally, the complexity of manufacturing candles makes it expensive to maintain and operate such a device.
- Patent application No. 2005887 incorporates candle filtration but consists of fitting it with a canvas: we return to frame filtration with its drawbacks. Furthermore, the annular collector being common to all the candles, it is impossible to isolate it in the event of a canvas being pierced.
- Patent applications Nos. 2140389 and 2464736 resume filtration by plates but all of the frames are rotated by an important mechanism and pass successively in compartments where there is filtration, cleaning of the sediment, evacuation of the latter at compressed air.
- Patent application No. 2140389 corresponds to a suction of the liquid through the frames by vacuum, which means upstream the existence of heavy and complex equipment such as vacuum pump, extraction tank, expansion tank, droplet separation pot, condenser (15 meters high minimum), etc.
- the vacuum brings such a constraint, that the patent proposes a system to avoid breaking of the cakes, extremely fragile and delicate to implement, and of which maintenance costs are extremely high.
- Patent n ° 2464736 ensures a caking of the cakes with compressed air.
- Our inventive method consists in putting a filtration device replacing devices 12 and 25 (see diagram of the classic purification process on page n ° 16) avoiding the constraints described above, thanks to the automatic advance of the filtering medium. depending on the degree of filterability of the juices to be treated.
- the filtration apparatus is in the form of a horizontal and parallelepipedic tank (1), the length, width and height of which depend on the nature of the product to be treated, the flow and filterability. As an indication, such devices can reach 2m wide, 3m high, and 20m long.
- Spacers (2) constituted by "U” irons, located at the top and at one third of the height of the filter, ensure the rigidity of the assembly.
- the bottom of the tank consists of three parts: a frame (16), a filtered juice compartment (17), and a grid support (18). (see drawings 1/2 FIG 1 and 2 and 2/2 FIG 3).
- the frame (16) is formed by two longitudinal "I” irons and a series of transverse “U” irons welded to the previous ones.
- the filter rests on this frame, which avoids premature wear of the bottom plate due to the stagnation on the ground of various liquids from cleaning, overflows, or condensation.
- the bottom of the tank is formed by the filtered juice compartment (17) delimited by the bottom plate and a series of "U” irons (18), transverse, welded on horizontal angles, themselves welded on the sides of the tank (see plate 2/2).
- the filtered juice compartment (17) has a height of approximately 60 to 80 cm and is accessible when stationary by inspection hatches (13). They are used during the annual inspection visit of the appliance and are sized according to the standards in force.
- the filtering medium paper or fabric
- the filtering medium is in the form of a roll (4), and is placed at the rear of the filter on a suitable support. It is driven by a scraping system
- This scraping system consists of a series of scrapers (7), mounted between two link chains. Rollers (19) are mounted at each end of the scrapers, the travel in the width direction is limited by the sides of the chain links, the axis of the roller being the same as that of the squeegee and that of the link chain.
- the rollers roll on raceways (20) made up of two flat bars: a first flat iron is welded on the side of the tank, a second is fixed on the first, which allows a quick change in case of wear after a few years.
- the travel of the roller is limited in height by an angle (10), which can be either welded or screwed onto a welded plate itself on the sides of the filter. This angle iron acts as a raceway in the areas where the chains rise (see page 12, line 30) /.
- the chains are driven by conventional oil cakes, linked together by a shaft whose movement is ensured by a gear motor (6).
- the chains are tensioned by a system of oil cakes (21), mounted on a shaft similar to the first and located at the rear of the filter, slightly in front and lower than the roll of the filtering medium.
- the drive system (6) can operate either continuously or discontinuously.
- a pressure switch (15) measures the pressure upstream and downstream of the grid; a comparison is established with respect to a setpoint; as soon as the measurement exceeds the setpoint, the scraping system starts and ensures the advance of a portion of new filter media. The length of this portion is adjusted using a timer controlling the operating time of the control system.
- the renewal of the media is therefore done directly from an industrial measurement of the degree of filterability of the juices: if the degree of filterability is high, the pressure difference upstream / downstream of the grid will change slowly over time and the consumption of filtering media will be low; if, on the other hand, the degree of filterability is low, the pressure difference upstream / downstream of the grid will change quickly and the consumption of filter media will be high. But in no case will the plant be slowed down or stopped due to filtration problems caused by start-ups, by the processing of thawed beets, or any simply by improper adjustment of the purification parameters.
- the filtering medium advances each time only by a part of the total length over which the juice is filtered. This avoids the significant passage of elements in suspension in the filtered juice which inevitably occurs with the usual techniques when there is restarting of a freshly washed filter media filter: the clarity of the filtered juice will be better.
- the return (8) of the scraping system is ensured by the rolling of the rollers on their raceway (9), formed by angles screwed onto an intermediate plate itself welded to the side of the tank.
- the rise angle (11) of the scraping system depends on the solidity of the filter medium and the type of liquid filtered. It has been fixed, for information only, at 45 ° on figure n ° l of plate n ° l / 2
- the used filter medium, and the cake of solid elements separated from the liquid-solid phase fall through a chute (22) into any container suitable for receiving the waste.
- a chute On the sides of the tank are arranged, on the inside, and at certain points, flat sheets, whose purpose is to ensure correct guiding and tensioning of the chains. These devices depend on the fields of application in which the filter is used.
- the roll of filter media is changed as follows: the operator unrolls the end of the previous roll, removes his cardboard box, and puts the new roll which he staples at the end of the old roll. The operation is very fast.
- the filtered juice is sucked by pumps (not shown) from a suction box (12).
- This level can be constant and ensured, either by overflow with return to the cloudy juice tank (case applied in cloudy juice 1: see diagram of the classic purification process on page n ° 16 devices 10 and 11), or regulated to from a level sensor acting on a control valve downstream of the cloudy juice pump (case applied in cloudy juice 2: see diagram of the classic purification process on page n ° 16 device 24).
- the renewal of the liquid to be filtered according to a high level will minimize the surfaces in contact with the air on which condensation occurs and will thus avoid the risks of development of microorganisms, always to be feared in the juice processing industries. sweet.
- This filtration process does not have rapid wear elements such as gaskets or mechanically fragile flexible elements which can cause a production stop. Maintenance, thus limited to that usual of a motor-reducer, and the annual verification of the chains and raceways of the scraping assembly, is simple and inexpensive.
- this process unlike that described by other patents, uses neither vacuum nor compressed air in any stage of the filtration cycle whatsoever.
- This saves a condenser, a device about fifteen meters high by three meters in diameter (at the top), vacuum pumps whose performance often depends on external factors such as the temperature of the water in the liquid rings, and a series of droplet separating tanks intended to avoid sugar losses, these droplets coming from the self-evaporation of the juices (temperature equal to 80 ° C.). See apparatus 15/16/17/18 for rotary foam filters in the diagram of the classic purification process on page n ° 16.
- space a filter by replacing twelve, the space saving can be estimated at a factor of 10.
- Fi11ration of the first sludge elimination of rotary vacuum filters (device n ° 14 on diagram of the classic process of purification page n ° 16) and their appendices very expensive in operation and maintenance (devices n ° 15, 16, 17, 18 on the same diagram page n ° 16)
