Abstract:
A device for continuous treatment of microbial sludge said device comprising a treatment vessel and a sonic source for generating ultrasonic emissions arranged within said treatment vessel, whereinthe sonic source is arranged eccentrically within the treatment vessel,the treatment vessel is formed as a pipe having inner wallsthe ultrasonic emission of the sonic source is directed towards the walls of the pipe, andthe walls of the pipe are formed as reflectors for the ultrasonic emissions impacting from the sonic source, wherein the treatment vessel possesses a microbial sludge feed pipe, and a outlet pipe for treated microbial sludge, and wherein the sonic source is eccentrically located with respect to the vessel to avoid mutual nullification of sonic waves reflected from the walls and radiated from the source.
