Definitions
- the present invention refers to a sectionally built aerator for concentrating machines and for wastewater treatment.
- the purpose of the invention is to provide an aerator for aerating clean water and waste water for instance in activated sludge basins, sludge stabilization plants, at aerating fish breeding ponds, etcetera, and at column-shaped concentrating machines in industries for ore, minerals and coal, and the purpose is to provide a cost efficient, simple plant, which is considered to have a long service life and a few components, and this is achieved in that the aerator has been given the features defined in the characterizing part of the accompanying claim 1.
- Fig. 1 shows in a schematic cross section through a part of a sectionally built aerator according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a view from above of the aerator illustrated in Fig. 1, and
- Fig. 3 and 4 show details of the aerator in bigger scale and in cross section.
- Fig. 5 shows in a schematic cross section corresponding to Fig. 1, a simplified and modified embodiment of an aerator according to the present invention.
- Fig. 6 is a view from above of the aerator illustrated in Fig. 5, and
- Fig. 7 and 8 show details of the aerator according to Fig. 5 in bigger scale and in cross section.
- the aerator according to the invention is intended to be located in the position illustrated in Fig. 1 in a (not shown) volume of liquid, which shall be ventilated.
- the aerator 1 incorporates a number of sections 2 in the form of trough-shaped elements, which are positioned with their openings facing downwards, and each one of which in its end wall 3 facing upwards being equipped with a an opening formed as a tubular sleeve 4 of smaller diameter than that of the trough-shaped element.
- each tubular sleeve 4 there are provided concentric tubular members 5, 6 operating as injectors, whereby the first member 5 has bigger diameter than the tubular sleeve 4 positioned there below and being arranged to enclose in concentric fashion the upper part of this tubular sleeve 4, thus that there is a slot between the tubular member 5 and the end wall 3 of the trough-shaped element.
- the second tubular member 6 arranged there above in turn has bigger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the first member 5, and being arranged to enclose in concentric fashion the upper part of the first tubular member 5, thus that there is a slot between the inner surface of the second tubular member 6 and the outer surface of the first tubular member 5.
- the stack of trough-like elements 2 arranged above each other with tubular sleeve 4 and the tubular members 5, 6 provided between these are supported in the embodiment shown by three posts 7, 8, 9 (see Fig. 2), at least one post 7 of which, but preferably all being tubular.
- pressurized air is supplied through at last one of the tubular posts 7, which pressurized air is pressed into tubular sleeve 4 projecting upwards from the lower trough-shaped element. Then the air rises through the tubular members 5, 6, whereby liquid is pulled along and is put into motion.
- An appropriate height for each of the sections can be 70 cm.
- a basin having a volume of about 360 m 2 it is required about 20 to 25 aerators of the type in question, and the cost for installation of the aerator in question is about 600-700 SEK per m 2 of basin surface when using plastic material, whereas the cost for the aerator in stainless steel could amount to about 1000-1200 SEK per m 2 .
- tubular membrane aerators of conventional type on the other hand was used, a basin of corresponding size should require about 300 such aerators at an installation cost of about 2500 SEK/ m 2 basin surface.
- Fig. 3 illustrates in a partial cross section through the aerator according to Fig. 1 and in bigger scale how one of the tubular posts 7 via a simple supporting bracket 10, which is arrestable to the post at any desired level by means of a screw 11, together with similar supporting brackets on the other posts supports the trough-shaped element 2, whereas its tubular sleeve 4 at its upper edge supports a number of braces 12, shaped substantially as spokes in a hub, and which together support the first tubular member 5.
- the second tubular member which is arranged there above, but not shown in this figure, is for instance by means of similar braces attached to the first member 5.
- Fig. 4 is shown in a partial cross section through the aerator according to Fig. 1 and in bigger scale how one of the tubular posts 7 is equipped with a tubular channel 13 communicating therewith, and which opens at the lower inlet of the tubular sleeve 4 of the lower trough-shaped element. Through this tubular post 7 and the tubular channel 13 pressurized air thus is supplied into the lower part of the aerator.
- Fig. 5 shows in a cross section corresponding to Fig. 1 an aerator according to the present invention, which is modified and simplified in relation to that one shown in Fig. 1.
- the aerator is located in a not shown volume of liquid, which shall be treated, and the aerator 21 incorporates a number of sections 22 in form of trough- shaped elements, which are turned with their opening downwards and each one of which in the end wall 23 facing upwards has a centrally located through opening 24.
- trough-shaped elements 22 located in line above each other, but the number of trough-shaped elements can be varied depending on the vertical measure of the liquid mass in which the aerator is positioned.
- the trough-shaped elements 22 are supported by a number of posts 27, 28, 29, (Fig. 6), at least one of which posts 27, but preferably all being tubular.
- pressurized air is supplied via a conduit 25 into the body of liquid below the lower trough-shaped element 22.
- the tubular post 27 is preferably but not necessary communicating with the conduit 25, such as illustrated in Fig. 8, whereby the pressurized air can be easily supplied to the lower part of the aerator via the post 27 and the conduit 25.
- the large number of minute bubbles When using the aerator for treatment of wastewater the large number of minute bubbles will supply atmospheric oxygen to the wastewater for oxygenizing thereof.
- the bubbles When used for concentrating purposes the bubbles, which can have a maximum size of 0,1 to 1 mm, will rise up towards the surface of the liquid mass and thereby bring along material particles from the mass to be concentrated.
- Fig. 7 illustrates in a partial cross section how a simple supporting bracket 30 by means of a screw joint 31 can be arrested to one of the posts 27.
- the different trough-shaped elements 22 can be adjusted and arrested at suitable, arbitrary levels.
- the material in the aerator can be plastic material or metal or combinations thereof, depending on the liquids for which the aerator shall be used.
- the pressurized air might for instance be supplied via a conduit, which does not extend through one of the supporting posts, and as mentioned above is it possible that the aerator may be equipped with an arbitrary number of sections of trough-shaped elements, and with or without tubular sleeves and tubular members acting as injectors.
