Description
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FILTRATION OF LIQUID
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method and to a device for filtering liquid passing to analyzing equipment, and more particularly for filtering liquid prior to its entry into a sewage water analyzer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Several types of sewage water analyzing methods are known to the art .
Swedish Patent 381 935 teaches an apparatus for measuring acute toxicity, particularly the acute toxicity of a sewage- water subflow. The described apparatus comprises a pre- airifier, a biological bed and oxygen measuring means. The biological bed is characterized in that the biomass of the bed, i.e. microorganisms that live on contaminants present in sewage water, or waste water, are cultivated on at least one array of two mutually facing surfaces, and in that passageways are disposed between the surfaces for the flow of sewage water, so that contact will be obtained between the water flow and the biomass. The biomass is kept essentially constant, by wiping-off biomass.
As the sewage water, or waste water, passes through the biological bed, oxygen is consumed in the metabolism of the microorganisms. When a chemical is present in the sewage water in toxic concentrations, the metabolism of the micro- organisms is inhibited and the consumption of oxygen ceases either totally or in part and an elevated oxygen concentra¬ tion can be observed.
Swedish Patent 468 406 describes another analyzer and also its use in protecting microorganisms, particularly nitrifi¬ cation bacteria, occurrent in biological purification plants. The analyzer enables it to be ascertained whether or not the
sewage water concerned requires any additional treatment prior to being introduced to the sensitive nitrification stage, and if so the extent to which such pretreatment is necessary. This apparatus also includes biobeds.
In order to function satisfactorily, the aforesaid apparatus require the provision of a filtering stage upstream of the inlet to the device or devices containing the biomass. The filtering stage includes a filter which functions to filter- out particles that are larger than a predetermined size, for instance a size larger than 0.2 mm. These filters become clogged after a time, and must either be replaced or flushed clean, so-called back-flushing.
Also known to the art is a filtering device marketed by Siepmann und Teutscher GmbH, Siemensstrasse 2, 64818 Gross- Umstadt under designation PA-2. This filtering device includes an inlet pipe, a filter connected to the inlet pipe, and a generally U-shaped outlet pipe connected downstream of the filter. Computer controlled filter cleaning or back- flushing facility is coupled to the filter. The filter is cleaned with clean water. Although back-flushing is effective in cleaning the filter, the use of clean water in this regard is a significant waste of resources when considering that clean water is a scarce commodity in many parts of the world. Furthermore, the pre-filtering device is beset with several problems. For instance, clean water is able to enter the device or devices containing the biomass and therewith impair the measurement accuracy of the analyzer. In order to ensure that clean water will not enter said device or devices, it is necessary to effectively close-off the inlet thereto when back-flushing is commenced, and to keep the inlet closed until all washing liquid has left the inlet, so as not to impair the measuring accuracy of the analyzer. An analysis cannot therefore be carried out during the back-flushing process. It may also be necessary to empty and re-fill the whole of the U-pipe before analyzing of the sewage water can
be recommenced.
There is thus a need of a filtering system which will enable back-flushing of system filters to be effected in a simple and effective manner while, at the same time, preventing washing or flushing liquid liable to disturb the analysis from reaching the biomass.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method and to a device of the kind defined in the introduction with which clean- flushing liquid will not disturb the measuring results from an analyzing equipment connected to the device, therewith enabling the sewage water to be analyzed continuously even during a back-flushing operation, and which achieve this in a simple and inexpensive manner while providing satisfactory back-flushing of the filter at the same time.
The inventive method and device have the characteristic features set forth in the characterizing clauses of respec¬ tive Claims 1 and 4.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The inventive method and inventive device will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Figure 1 schematically illustrates an inventive filter device; and
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the chamber in the inven- tive filter device.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings show an inventive filter device comprising a an inlet pipe 11 a chamber 3 connected between the inlet pipe 11 and a U-shaped outlet pipe 5. The chamber 3 is connected by a third pipe 10 to a throughflow pump 9, which in turn is connected to a container 6 by means of a fourth pipe 13. The
third pipe 10 is connected to a bypass pipe 14 which includes an outlet and which is also connected to a further pump 9'. The pump 9' is connected to sewage water analyzing equipment (not shown) . The analyzing equipment may include biobeds and is preferably of the kind described in Swedish Patent 468 406, although it may alternatively be of some other kind used to measure or assay different parameters of organic material dissolved in the water, such as phosphate concentration, nitrogen concentration and like parameters.
The chamber 3 contains a filter 4 which prevents liquid from reaching the third pipe 10 without being filtered. The chamber 3 also contains a guide means 2. The filter 4 and the guide means 2 will be described in more detail below, with reference to Figure 2.
The container 6 is provided at its upper vertical end with an outlet 8 which tapers in cross-section, wherein the cross- sectional area of the outlet decreases with distance from the container 6. The outlet 8 is located vertically on the same level as or beneath the highest point of the outlet pipe 12. The bottom end of the container 6 is located centrally opposite the upper end thereof and is provided with an emptying means 7. Although not shown, the outlet 8 is conveniently connected to a further outlet, which may be common to both the bypass pipe 14 and the outlet pipe 5.
The device will now be described in further detail. Liquid, for instance sewage water, is pumped through the inlet pipe 11 and into the chamber 3, by means of an external pump 1. Part of the sewage water is filtered through the filter 4 and then conveyed through the third pipe 10. This filtering process is necessary, in order to obtain a true analysis in the analyzing equipment. The water that is not filtered in the filter 4, flows through the outlet pipe 12 and into a sewage purification plant for instance, as waste water. Part of the filtered sewage water in the third pipe 10 is passed
into the bypass pipe 14. In this regard, part of the water in the bypass pipe 14 is pumped into the analyzing equipment (not shown) . In the illustrated case, the pump 9' is connected to the upper side of the bypass pipe 14 as seen vertically. This has been done to obtain zero pressure into the pump. This zero pressure is beneficial in enabling the requisite volume of water to be pumped to the analyzing equipment with a high degree of accuracy.
That part of the water from the third pipe 10 which does not flow into the bypass pipe 14 is conducted into the container 6 through a throughflow pump 9. The water present in the container 6 may include heavy particles and fibres. The fibres tend to float upwards and, when the container 6 is full, leave the container 6 through the outlet 8 and drain to thc further outlet. Heavy particles settle in the contain¬ er 6 to form a sediment on its bottom, across the emptying means 7. The emptying means may have the form of a valve or a bottom plug. When the emptying means has the form of a valve, the heavy particles are emptied from the container automatically, and manually when a bottom plug is used.
The filter 4 will become clogged and require cleaning after having been in use for some time. According to the invention, the filter is cleaned by back-flushing the filtered water in the container 6. Back-flushing is commenced when a pre¬ determined period of time has lapsed, and is achieved by virtue of the throughflow pump 9 beginning to work and pump- out the container water in a direction towards the filter and therewith unclogging and cleaning the same.
There is no need to connect the inlet to the analyzing equipment, since the back-flushing water and the water to be analyzed are one and the same liquid. Back-flushing is then repeated at regular predetermined intervals.
Control of the throughflow pump 9 with regard to pumping
intervals and pumping duration, control of the emptying means 7 and control of the pump 9' can be conveniently achieved with the aid of a measuring computer intended for controlling the analyzing equipment.
Figure 2 illustrates the chamber 3, the guide means 2, the filter 4, and parts of the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 5. The filter 4 is cylindrical and extends from a first wall 12 of the chamber where the outlet pipe 5 is connected, and down towards a second chamber wall 15. The guide means 2 has a conical or funnel-shaped configuration, and therewith has a cross-section which tapers towards the second wall 15. Part of the inlet pipe 11 extends through the second wall 15 and through the center of the guide means 2, up to the plane of the interface surface between the guide means 2 and the filter 4. In this way, there is obtained within the chamber 3 an internal volume in which solely non-filtered liquid is present. Finally, that part of the inlet pipe 11 which is located in the chamber 3 includes a hole 16 through which water flows towards the guide means 2, therewith causing the water to be pressed towards and spread over the inner surface of the filter 4, such that the filter 4 will be partially self-cleansing. The guide means 2 may have a different form to that illustrated and described. For instance, it may have the form of an angled piece of PVC or some other material disposed across the inlet pipe 11. In this case, the inlet pipe will not extend into the chamber 3 and the filter will extend from the first chamber wall 12 to the second chamber wall 15.
There has been described a simple and inexpensive back- flushing device which utilizes the filtered liquid for back- flushing purposes and thus requires no advanced procedures and devices for closing-off the analyzing equipment. No clean water is used in the process, clean water being a scarce commodity in many areas.
