Title: Improved Method of and Installation for the Disposal of the Sewage in Towns.
Inventor: CHABANEL JEAN
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 1940. Chabanel, J. Jan. 25. Systems of house drainage; disinfecting; intercepting-tanks and catchpits ; traps.-Each house is fitted with an apparatus u in which the liquid and solids are separated and disinfected. The liquids pass, under gravity, through pipes 42, 43 to a tank o in an intermediate pit j, whence they are removed by a pump l, operated by an electric motor k. They pass through the pipe 35 to a tank g at the works and are sterilized and discharged, for example into a river. The solids are withdrawn from the apparatus u through the pipes 41 to a tank n, in which a vacuum is obtained, when required, by means of air-pumps e, connected to tanks fat the works and thence by the pipe 35 with the tank n. The solids in the tank n are forced by the pump l through the pipe 38 to one or other of the reservoirs t in a central pit p. A pump s, actuated by an electric motor r, finally passes them through the pipe 35 to the reservoirs f for reduction to manure. The works are provided with steam engines b, dynamos c, and a distributing board d, and the pits p, j have distributing boards q, m. A pump h supplies a disinfecting-liquid under pressure to a reservoir i connected by pipes 34 with the apparatus u, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 2. The sewage enters by the pipe w into the interior of a strainer grating formed by trapezoidal bars 6. The liquid passing through the grating rises in the compartment 1 and overflows through the outlet 26. When a sufficient accumulation of solids has been formed in the compartment 2, the disinfectant liquid is admitted into a cylinder 4 above a piston 11, Fig. 4, which is forced down against the pressure of a spring 25. A plate 7, provided with teeth having the same form as the interstices between the grating bars, is connected by a rod 10 to the piston, and is lowered by the piston to make a joint with a washer 9 and shut off the compartment 2. The solids are then withdrawn by the vacuum through the balanced valve 29, air being admitted through a socket 27. A shutter 44 is attached to the plate 7 and closes the pipe w when the plate is lowered. After discharge of the solids the pressure of the disinfectant is released and the piston 11 raised by the spring 25. The plate 7 is surmounted by a tube 21 with stuffing-box 22 through which passes a rod 23. The upward movement of the plate raises the rod 23 and, by means of it, the double valve 14,14<1>, thus shutting off the connexion with the pipe 34 and opening a way for the disinfectant in the space above the piston 11 to pass into the compartment 1. It is stated that a portion of the disinfectant leaves the compartment 1 through the outlet 26 and passes by the pipes 42, 43 to the reservoirs o, n. After a further rise of the plate 7, a rod 16 on the piston 11 operates a lever 18 and lowers the valve 14, 14', thus re-setting the apparatus for a further series of operations.
