Title: Separating grid
IPC: E02B8/02
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A separating grid (1) for collection and removal of solid particles and objects (4) from running water (2) in a channel (2). The separating grid (1) comprises a stand (9) including a separating unit (10) formed by separating grid bars (11, 12) positioned side by side in such a manner that fixed grid bars (11) alternate with mobile grid bars (12), said grid bars formed with collection and removal means (13). The fixed grid bars (11) are securely attached to the stand whereas the mobile grid bars (12) are connected at their upper ends (17) to a drive unit (18) and at their lower ends (16) they are arranged for controlled movement in the stand. The drive unit imparts to the mobile grid bars a movement which at the upper end of the bars follows a closed path but in a direction towards their lower ends follows successively and increasingly flattened, elliptical paths changing at the lower ends into an essentially rectilinear to-and-fro movement path. According to this arrangement, the mobile grid bars carry, by means of their collection and removal means, the objects step by step upwards along the collection and removal means of the fixed grid bars, up to a discharge (19) for removal.

Title: Gas scrubbing process and device, in particular for flue gas
IPC: B01D53/77
Filed: 1992-07-03
Abstract: A gas cleaning process esp. for flue gases, involves contacting a foam-forming reactant with the gas in a reaction chamber, destroying the foam after reaction, separately collecting recovered reactant and sludge and releasing the cleaned gas. When cleaning gases at below 60 deg. C, (a) foam destruction is carried out in the reaction chamber to form a dense foam and an underlying reactant layer mixed with water and gases; (b) the dense foam and surface sludge are withdrawn from the reaction chamber by suction and are temporarily stored for gravity sepn., and (c) material layer-spen. is carried out in a settling phase, the individualy layers being successively sepd. When the gases are at above 60 deg. C the settled sludge is dried in a dryer by stepwise vertically downward transport of the sludge in contact with dirty gas fed to the dryer. Also claimed is a plant for carrying out the process, including a reaction chamber contg. rotating rolls for contacting the gases with the reactant.

Abstract: The equipment of the present invention serves to form a sheet of paper under the felt line, this sheet can be for monolayer or multilayer paper, the paper sheet so formed has superior characteristics to that of a sheet made in a fourdrinier manufacturing table. The fiber suspension is distributed through a head box over the forming table, allowing the fiber to freely orient according to the jet/fabric speeds rate, and to the hydraulic pattern generated by the forming activity lip. The effect generated by the activity lip is supplemented by the pulse forming roll allowing the fibers to orient freely or in a controlled fashion according to the roll speed. The water remaining in the fiber suspension is drained in a box divided in three vacuum compartments, to reach a fixed dryness to make contact with the prior unit sheet or with the felt in the case of being the first unit. The equipment comprises a forming table in which the tilt can be adjusted according to manufacturing requirements, this forming table comprises a fabric to form the paper sheet, a breast roll also serving as fabric stretcher, forming and dewatering foils, a pulse forming roll, flat boxes, a cylinder mold, a guide roll and control elements, support structures to support the former equipment, water collection trays, rails and rolls for maintenance of the former equipment, which allows the unit to be removed of service without halting production. The equipment also comprises a fiber distribution head box oriented towards the formation table, as well as a suction slider to extract water from the inner part of the felt. It also is provided with a rubber couch roll which presses the felt and the sheet in such a manner that the paper sheet adheres to the felt and can be transferred to the next formation unit. The couch roll is provided with a mechanism for setting position against the cylinder mold shaft, as well as with a bellows system to raise the cylinder mold or to apply pressure against said cylinder mold. The equipment comprises showers to keep clean the support roll, the fabric and the breast roll. A doctor blade is located in the breast roll, for keeping the roll clean and to divert the water drained in this zone to a tray. This unit has a system comprising two vertical structures and a lengthwise beam to provide rigidity thereto. <IMAGE>
