Granted: 2006-08-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé visant à produire une phase liquide oxydée avec un minimum de gaz dissous provenant d'un système de traitement par oxydation en milieu liquide. Le mélange d'oxydation provenant du système de traitement pénètre dans une première cuve de séparation fonctionnant à une pression superatmosphérique où les phases liquide et gazeuse se séparent. Les gaz atmosphériques sont acheminés vers un autre traitement ou évacués dans l'environnement. La phase aqueuse s'écoule vers une seconde cuve de séparation fonctionnant à une pression essentiellement atmosphérique où les gaz dissous additionnels se séparent de la phase liquide. Les gaz sont évacués et la phase liquide est appropriée pour être stockée ou subir un autre traitement. L'invention concerne également l'ajustement du pH de la phase liquide au cours du procédé de séparation.

Abstract: A barrier system includes discrete movable barriers molded from a resiliently deformable plastic. Each of the barriers includes a housing having opposing front and back walls and opposing triangular shaped sidewalls. The front and back walls extend from a floor and intersect at a rounded top portion. Each barrier includes an interior surface that defines an internal chamber. The internal chamber can be selective filled with a ballast through an opening. Recessed within the front wall and back wall are a plurality of pockets. The pockets form reinforcing ribs which substantially prevent the deflection of front and back wall when the internal chamber is filled with ballast. In contrast, the sidewalls are substantially smooth to enhance bowing thereat when the internal chamber is filled with ballast. Recessed within the floor of each barrier adjacent to each of the sidewalls is a slot. Upstanding legs from an U-shaped connector are received within corresponding slots when sidewalls of adjacent barriers are biased together. The connector thus secures the barriers together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for applying a decoration to containers su ch as, for example, crates, bottles or cans. The decoration comprises an image transfer label supplied to the containers on a carrier strip. The carrier strip is pressed laterally, by means of a pressure roller, against the containers, which are fed past the pressure roller. A heating device, such as, preferably, a hot air blower, heats the image transfer label on the application side of the carrier strip. Preferably, a flat stream of air is blown, by the hot air blower, against the line of contact between the image transfer label and the container. As a result o f the use of highly local heating of the application side of the carrier strip according to the present invention, activation of the image transfer label is obtained without the carrier strip or the surface of the container being heated to a substantial extent. As a result, undesired stretch in the carrier strip is prevented and the temperature of the image transfer label can remain relatively low, so that the quality of the inks is retained and complete transfer to the containers is possible. The pressure roller is also able to operate at relatively low temperatures, so that a long life thereof is obtained. As a result of the highly local heating on the applicationside, the contact time required for transfer of the image transfer label is reduced substantially, so that a high throughput is possible.
