Patent EP-1202784-B1 (EP)
Inventor: NEUBERT JOACHIM
IPC: B01D1/28

Granted: 2003-04-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for treating liquid wastes that are composed of a base liquid and contaminations. For separation, a liquid waste/substrate gas mixture is evaporated to a wet substrate gas/water vapor mixture so that the base liquid evaporates and the liquid contaminations remain in a residual liquid portion. The substrate gas/water vapor mixture is fed to a concentrate separator (27) in which the residual liquid portion is separated as a concentrated substance. The substrate gas/dry vapor mixture is compressed and cooled down so that the base liquid condenses and is separated in a successive condensate separator (54). The substrate gas separated on the condensate separator (54) is circulated back to the liquid waste. At least a part of the heat provided for pre-heating the liquid waste is provided by the hot condensate and the hot concentrate in corresponding heat exchangers (13, 106) and an additional part of the heat supply for the evaporation to the wet substrate gas/water vapor mixture is provided by at least one evaporator/condenser heat exchanger (19, 24). The inventive method and device allows to substantially reduce the energy supplied as well as the losses in substrate gas and thus allows an effective and economical process management.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of dispersion compensation comprising the steps of: receiving an optical signal having a number of channels separated by wavelength; and applying dispersion compensation over at least one predetermined wavelength band independently of wavelengths outside the wavelength band, wherein the wavelength band spans a plurality of channels numbering less than the total number of channels in the signal. The present invention allows dispersion compensation to be applied to a group of channels within a wavelength band with the use of a dispersion compensation element optimised for the particular wavelength band in terms of dispersion compensation and attenuation. Two or more wavelength bands may be chosen to collectively span a WDM signal. Accordingly, the dispersion compensation characteristics of a number dispersion compensation elements may be collocated to create a favourable dispersion compensation characteristic extending over the bandwidth of WDM signal, without the need to treat each channel individually. A mid-span single device permits 40 channels at 10 Gbits<-1> over two bands over a distance of at least 6000km. The simple configuration allows for rapid implementation. <IMAGE>
