Title: Integrated flotation and filtration device for the clarification of liquids containing suspended material
Inventor: KALTCHEV ROUMEN
IPC: C02F1/24
Filed: 2000-07-11
Abstract: An inlet compartment for the liquid to be clarified is placed between the intermediate vessel (2) and the central vessel (1) and this feeds the external vessel (4) with material carrying suspended particles. This compartment is fed with liquid from outside through a number of inlets (3) Clarifier for liquids carrying suspended material by flotation and filtration with a filter that can be cleaned by back-washing. The clarifier comprises a first external cylindrical vessel (4) containing a number of compartments in the form of sectors, each with a horizontal or base separation (13) defining with the base (11) of the vessel a receiver (60) for the filtered liquid and with the horizontal separation supporting a filter medium (14) and means (15) of transferring liquid after filtration to the receiver. A second central cylindrical vessel (1) collects the filtered liquid and is coaxial with the first. An intermediate vessel (2) between the first and second vessels is coaxial with them. There are means (5) of recovering and collecting the floating material and means (19) of supplying the filter with back-flow under pressure. A hood (26) recovers the washing liquid after it has passed through the filter and a turnable bridge (8) can be moved in rotation above the vessels, from which are suspended at different points the means of collecting the floating material, the hood and the means of supplying backwashing liquid under pressure. The feed compartment supplies the external vessel around its whole circumference, or is the intermediate vessel, with liquid being transferred into the external vessel by overflowing the wall of the intermediate vessel. The turning bridge also carries means of connecting and disconnecting the means of backwashing under pressure to collectors (16) from the receivers. The hood includes means of ensuring that the level of each sector compartment is sealed to isolate it from the rest of the compartments during back-washing and the liquid from back-washing is fed to the inlet compartment. The hood has an inflatable pneumatic joint to form this seal and the walls of the sectors have a bearing surface to receive the hood joint. The central vessel has an automatic valve (17) to control the level of liquid held in it as a function of the pressure drop across the filters. The means of supplying the backwashing liquid under pressure include a pump (19) immersed in the central vessel and articulated about the axis of the turning bridge. Couplings provides a sealed connection between the pump and the collectors. The couplings can be operated by pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical or electromagnetic means.

Abstract: Filtration cells capable of direct sampling of a fluid from a container and which may be used for microfiltration of both small and large microvolumes of a fluid to be filtered are provided. Also a process for directly transferring a fluid to be filtered from a container to a filtration cell is described. The filtration cells have one or more reservoirs and are in communication with fluid in a container to be filtered through a piercing instrument connected to a base and support for a reservoir that receives the fluid to be filtered after it passed across a filter membrane. The filtration cell may then be pressurized and vented to allow fluid to be filtered to reciprocally and tangentially pass across a filter membrane between either a container having a fluid to be filtered and a single reservoir for small volume filtrations or between two reservoirs after pressurizing a fluid to be filtered into the reservoirs from a container using a piercing instrument. Side wells for collecting samples from the bottom up from the filtration cell outlet are also provided as are a process incorporating automated equipment for transferring the container having fluid to be filtered to the piercing point for entry into the filtration cell.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de fournir un signal DMT à débit binaire élevé. Ce procédé consiste à fournir des informations sur une pluralité de tonalités DMT, au moins deux tonalités DMT envoyant des informations en parallèle. Parmi ces tonalités envoyant des informations en parallèle, au moins une présente un RSB trop faible pour être utilisé individuellement pour le nombre bits qu'il est en train de transférer. Ainsi, les tonalités sont « combinées » de manière cohérente au récepteur de manière à produire un RSB suffisant pour porter, à un TEB souhaité, le nombre de bits transférés en parallèle. Deux ou plusieurs tonalités qui séparément ne peuvent porter un seul bit d'information, peuvent être utilisées ensemble de manière à fournir un RSB suffisant au récepteur afin de transmettre un ou plusieurs bits. De même, deux ou plusieurs tonalités qui, séparément ne peuvent porter deux bits d'information peuvent être utilisées ensemble par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission parallèle de manière à fournir un RSB suffisant au récepteur. En outre, la capacité de port de bits d'une première tonalité ne pouvant porter seule un ou plusieurs bits peut être augmentée par transmission d'un nombre plus important de bits en parallèle avec une ou plusieurs tonalités supplémentaires qui ne peuvent porter aucun bit d'information. Selon un autre mode de réalisation décrit dans l'invention, au lieu d'envoyer deux ou plusieurs tonalités DMT en parallèle, une ou plusieurs tonalités DMT sont répétées sur une pluralité de symboles DMT puis « combinées » de manière cohérente de façon à produire un RSB suffisant pour porter le nombre de bits portés par la tonalité répétée.
