PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Use in the Purification of Sewage and
other Folluted Waters.
I, HECTOR TULLOCH, Major (retired) Royal Engineers, of 28, Victoria Street,
in the City of Westminster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention consists in the improvements hereinafter described in apparatus
for use in the purification of sewage and other polluted waters.
According to my said invention I construct a tank of any convenient depth
and area preferably circular in which I form one or more series of anaerobic
beds the bottom portion of which I use as my subsidence chamber or chambers
and the other part may be divided vertically into several parts or sections as
hereinafter described.
At any convenient distance above the bottom of the tank I construct an open
floor or grating preferably with perforated steel or iron plates buckled or other-
wise or with bars of steel, iron, wood or other suitable material supported on
girders.
Preferably in the middle or centre of the tank I form a vertical chamber
down through which the sewage or polluted water which may have been pre-
viously screened in a grit or other chamber flows into the bottom of the tank
in which it spreads & then rises through the open floor or grating upon which
I place layers or beds of stone, clinkers, coke, coal, burnt ballast or other
suitable oxidizing materials such as polarite which form my anaerobic bed,
this bed may be divided by brick or concrete walls or wood, iron or other suit-
able material into partitions or divisions which are carried above the surface
of the top layer of my anaerobic bacteria bed. I sometimes support the girders
on which the bars or perforated plates of steel iron or wood are placed on walls
I sometimes construct my open
preferably, converging radially to the centre.
floor with perforated arches of concrete or brickwork or the like or with bricks
or stone or similar material laid dry these arches may spring from or rest on
the floor or they may rest on walls. In order to ensure that the sewage shall
spread evenly and disseminate itself under the entire area of my anaerobic bed
or filter I sometimes use a blade or blades or arm or arms fixed to a shaft and
made to revolve by any convenient means or may pass the sewage into the
bottom chamber by means of a pipe from the top, this pipe being connected at
the bottom with another having holes in it for the sewage to escape through,
the latter pipe being made to revolve at, will in the subsidence chamber.
From each section or division of my anaerobic bed and tank I take off the
effluent by means of a channel or channels or the like level with or at any

page_text: convenient level below the surface of the sewage in the tank and I regulate the
outflow from each section or division by means of a suitably arranged valve or
valves.
In the bottom chamber I sometimes provide a perforated or slotted pipe or
pipes, the said perforated or slotted pipe or pipes is or are or may be connected
by a faced joint with a fixed discharge pipe the perforated or slotted pipe or pipes
being preferably moved by means of a shaft or shafts provided with suitable
gearing so that when a valve at or near the end of the discharge pipe is opened
and the pipe or pipes caused to travel the deposited matter is withdrawn through
a syphon from the bottom of the tank.
1 sometimes attach by any suitable or convenient means and preferably at or
near the end of the perforated or slotted pipe or pipes a squeegee or brush for
the purpose of cleansing the walls or sides of the subsidence chamber or cham-
bers of the said tank. Instead of the aforesaid travelling perforated or slotted
pipe or pipes, I may substitute a travelling scraper or scrapers, for the purpose
of scraping the solid matter, deposited into channels or gutters in which I place
fixed perforated or slotted pipe or pipes with the object of syphoning out the
said solid deposited matter from the tank or of letting it escape by gravitation
or of pumping it.
The pipe or pipes used for the discharge of the insoluble residue I may some-
times also use for passing air steam gas or gases or cultivations of bacteria into
the bottom chamber of the tank having previously covered the central vertical
chamber, in order to prevent the escape thereby of the aforesaid air, steam
gas or gases, and I may also pass hot air steam gas or gases or cultivations of
bacteria into the said anaerobic bacteria bed through suitably arranged pipe or
pipes placed below the hereinafter described cap or caps or covering or cover-
ings, or I may with suitable arrangements use the said revolving pipes when
not employed for extracting the deposited matter for passing the sewage into
the subsidence chamber..
I may form the said anaerobic bacteria bed in two or more tiers or beds each
tier or bed being of any suitable depth or thickness and resting on open floors
or gratings similar to the one already described, each of the said tiers or beds
being provided with suitable covering and means for collecting the effluent
therefrom and provided with separate outlet or outlets preferably fitted with a
valve or valves for regulating the outflow from each section or division of either
tier or bed.
From my anaerobic bacteria bed I exclude light and air as far as possible
by means of a cap or caps or covering or coverings hereinafter called the cap
made of boards and felt or iron sheeting or other suitable material or materials
having a rim for a water or sand or other-seal and I thereby also protect the
aforesaid bed from extremes of heat and cold it also enables me to collect the
ammonia and other gases which I carry away by pipes into suitable receivers
or holders and utilize the same.
The cap is made movable and if found desirable so to arrange it, it can be
raised & lowered with ease either by means of attached chains or ropes fixed at
the circumference which are passed over pulleys supported on suitable standards
at the circumference and having weights attached to them or by means of one
chain or rope attached to the centre of the cap and passing over a pulley, the
said chain or rope having weights attached. Should my tank and anaerobic
bed require to be cleaned I effect this by reversing its action that is by letting
water or sewage in at the top & allowing it to flow out or pumping it out
through a pipe at the bottom so that any foul matters are washed downwards and
carried away along with the water or sewage.
I sometimes make my anaerobic bed square or rectangular or of any other
suitable & convenient shape and instead of passing the sewage (previously
settled or otherwise treated) upwards through the bed I may pass it through
the bed horizontally or laterally or nearly so.

page_text: I construct at either one end or side of the bed a chamber of greater depth
than the bed & in this chamber I place a perforated or slotted pipe or pipes or
form a channel or channels with openings to receive the deposited solids & to.
form a conduit for the removal of the same by hydrostatic pressure, the pipe or
pipes or channel or channels being provided with a valve or valves to regulate
the discharge. At both sides or ends of the anaerobic bed I construct a perfora-
ted division through which the sewage is delivered & through which it escapes
after receiving its anaerobic treatment in the bed.. I regulate the flow. of the
sewage so that it shall pass at the same rate or nearly so through all parts of
the bed by adjusting the sizes of the material, the upper part of the filter being
laid with finer material than the lower. I exclude light and air from the bed
so far as practicable or convenient by covering the bed with a movable cap as
previously described or as near thereto as convenient for my purpose.
regulate the outflow from my horizontal or lateral bed by means, of pipes &
valves placed at different levels of my bed at the end chamber of the bed.
The effluent from my anaerobic bacteria bed may be treated further, that is
by passing it through an aerobic bacteria bed made preferably of a circular
form and having a vertical chamber or opening preferably in the middle or
centre of it, and having also a chamber at the bottom similar to that in my
anaerobic tank, the materials of which myaerobic bed are composed being
supported on a floor similar to that adopted by me for my anaerobic bed.
.
may
"
I deliver the effluent through a suitably arranged channel or channels or pipe
or pipes into a basin or receiver placed above the surface of the aerobic bacteria
bed, the said basin or receiver having an arm or arms attached to the lower
part thereof the arm or arms having perforations slots or. a nozzle or nozzles
hereinafter called perforations in the side of each arm the effluent in issuing
impinges against a shield or shields, which may be attached to the arm or
arms or to the trough or troughs connected thereto or to the shaft carrying the
said basin or receiver.
. I sometimes allow the effluent from the arm or arms to flow into a trough
or troughs or its equivalent connected to either the basin or receiver, the arm
or arms, or the shaft carrying the basin or receiver, the trough or troughs or its
equivalent having notches or perforations in the side or sides. I sometimes
fix to the bottom of the revolving pipe or pipes trough or troughs attached to
the revolving basin or receiver or shaft or to a separate arm a rake or rakes
or roller or rollers or both, the former raking the material at the top and so
acrating it and the roller pressing it down again to form an even surface. The
rakes & rollers may be so arranged that they need not be put into operation
unless required.
The rotary motion or travel of the arm or arms is effected by the issuing of the
effluent through the perforations formed in the side of each arm on the prin-
ciple of the Barker mill or the rotary or other motion may be obtained by
means of a turbine or other motive power, this rotation of the arm or arms
causes the distribution over the surface of the bed, of the effluent from the
aforesaid anaerobic bacteria bed. The aforesaid basin or receiver is attached
to a shaft which may be caused to revolve with the basin or receiver which
carries the arm or arms and provision may be made for revolving the aforesaid
by manual or other power.
This shaft may be carried down through the aerobic bacteria bed inside a
tube and within this tube suitable brackets fitted with ball or other bearings
may be provided.
Attached to the shaft there may be one or more spiral conveyors for carrying
down fresh air to the bed or beds and upon part of this shaft I may also attach
one or more curved or straight arms or blades for the purpose of giving motion
to the fresh air and diffusing it to all parts of the chamber, the curved or
straight arms or blades rotate in the chamber formed underneath the said

page_text: aerobic bacteria bed, I sometimes accelerate the speed of the spiral conveyor or
conveyors by suitable pulleys or gearing or I may substitute a fan or fans in
addition to the spiral conveyor or conveyors. I also admit air into the said
chamber by any other convenient means.
The aforesaid tube running down through the aerobic bed and inside of which
is the shaft that carries the spiral conveyor or conveyors, I may sometimes line
with soft felt or the like to prevent the escape of air.
I form my aerobic bacteria bed to any suitable depth & of any suitable
materials.
..I sometimes form in the bottom a channel or channels for collecting the final
effluent leading to one or more outlets, provided with water seals or suitable
valves as may be deemed expedient, the said channel or channels which I cover
with bricks or suitable slabs, laid with open joints upon the floor of the bed;
may also serve for distributing the air fed into the aforesaid chamber by the
spiral conveyor or conveyors or fan or fans or both. Where I use the one or
more curved or straight arms or blades attached to the revolving shaft or in
cases where any multiplying gear is connected to the said shaft I may employ
à fan or fans.
I sometimes provide a movable cap or caps cover or covers hereinafter called
the cap to my aerobic bacteria bed similar to that used by me for my anaerobic
bacteria bed and by this means I protect the top of the filter from cold and
frost. I further sometimes make provision for the admittance into the chamber
beneath my aerobic bacteria bed of warm air steam gas or gases or cultivations
of bacteria, & I may also lay in the said chamber or in any portion underneath
the cap circulating hot water pipes, or hot air flues, or employ hot air in any
other way.
I sometimes form the said aerobic bacteria bed with two or more tiers or beds
each tier or bed being of a suitable depth or thickness and supported on a floor
& provided with suitable outlet or outlets each of the said tiers or beds having
suitable means preferably by revolving pipes or otherwise for distributing the
anaerobic effluent and suitable means also for collecting the effluent therefrom.
I may sometimes introduce into either the anaerobic or aerobic beds or both
or into the crude sewage or into effluents from either or both of my bacteria
beds, cultivations of bacteria for the purpose of hastening the treatment of the
sewage or other polluted waters.

Improvements in Apparatus for Use in the Purification of Sewage and
other Polluted Waters.
I, HECTOR TULLOCH, Major (retired) Royal Engineers, of 28, Victoria Street,
in the City of Westminster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to the biological purification of sewage and other pollu-
ted waters and consists of the improvements in apparatus for that purpose here-
inafter described some forms of which apparatus are illustrated in the accom-

page_text: panying drawings, which are hereinafter referred to by the letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the said drawings is a central vertical section of the upper and
lower parts of an apparatus constructed according to my invention for use in
.the anaerobic treatment of sewage and other polluted waters which matters I
will hereinafter collectively refer to as sewage. Figure 2 is a horizontal section
of the same taken on the line A Figure 1 and Figure 3 is a detail hereinafter
referred to.
The
The apparatus illustrated in the said Figures 1 and 2 consists of a tank the
walls a, a of which are of brick and the bottom 6 of concrete. Within the
lower part of the said tank a chamber c (which I term the subsidence chamber)
is formed by building a reticulated domed roof d of brickwork at a convenient
height above the bottom of the tank the reticulations or openings in which
roof are produced by setting the bricks as shown in Figure 3 in which figure
the bricks are marked d and the openings or spaces between them e, e.
interior of the subsidence chamber c is in communication with a shaft or
vertical passage f situated in the centre of the tank to which shaft or passage
the sewage to be treated is conducted by a supply pipe g. The part of the tank
above the chamber is divided into compartments by means of partitions h, h
which may be of brickwork or concrete or iron or wood or any other convenient
material and the said compartments are filled with layers or beds of stone or
clinker or coke or coal or burnt ballast or other suitable material constituting
the anaerobic bed through which the sewage rises on passing from the subsi-
dence chamber through the openings in its domed roof j, j are troughs arranged
one in each of the said compartments at the upper part of the bed i for receiving
the effluent the delivery ends of which troughs are furnished with valves or
shutters, and open into a collecting channel communicating with an out-
flow conduit m. That part of the trough of the middle compartment which
passes across one of the outer compartments is covered at the said part to pre-
vent entry to it of effluent from the said outer compartment. For exclusion
of light and air from the anaerobic bed and protection thereof from extremes
of heat and cold without impeding ready access to the bed when necessary
or desirable the top of the tank is furnished with a cover n of light construction
which can be raised to admit of access to the bed the junction of which cover
with the tank is sealed by engagement of its periphery in a groove o formed
in the top of the tank wall and containing water or sand or other suitable matter.
For convenience in the removal or raising of the cover n when requisite it is
suspended by means of chains or ropes P, P passing over pulleys 9,9 and carry-
ing weights r, r. Removal of solid matter accumulating in the subsidence cham-
ber is provided for by means of a pipe s laid in the bottom thereof and con-
nected by means of a faced joint with a counterbalanced perforated pipe t
.capable of being caused to travel round the said chamber by means of a rotatory
shaft connected with gearing capable of being worked from without the tank
the said gearing being supported by girders one of which is shown at vin
Figure 1 in which figure the said gearing is so plainly illustrated as to need
no description. This arrangement admits of withdrawel from the chamber c
of the residue accumulating therein without stopping the flow of sewage through
the apparatus and without in any way interfering with the working thereof.
A branch of the pipe s is carried up to near the level of the liquid in the
tank and furnished with a valve which is opened when necessary to permit
of passage of matter from the subsidence chamber through the aforesaid pipes
by gravity: A deflector y is secured to the shaft the effect of which is to
direct the stream of sewage descending from the vertical passage f towards the
outer parts of the subsidence chamber and thus to cause thorough distribution
of the sewage throughout the bed.
In using the aforesaid apparatus the sewage is or may be caused to pass first

page_text: through a catch pit or grit chamber or be screened for the purpose of separat-
ing heavy solid matters therefrom and the rate of inflow of the sewage is so
regulated as to admit of other solid matters in suspension being deposited in the
subsidence chamber while the sewage is passing down the central passage f
and while being diffused in the subsidence chamber from which it rises passing
through the perforations in the roof d of the said chamber and thence through
the anaerobic bed above. The apparatus thus acts both as a precipitation tank
and an upwardly working anaerobic filter bed.
The valves 1,7 at the discharge ends of the troughs j, j admit of regulation
of the outflow from each of the compartments of the bed so that by adjustment
of the said valves the sewage under treatment may be caused to pass equally
through all parts of the bed.
The pipes s, by which the solid residual matters accumulating in the sub-
sidence chamber pass therefrom may be used for passing hot air or steam or gas
or gases into the said chamber and the anaerobic bed above it the central pass-
age being previously covered to prevent their escape. Cultivations of bacteria
may also be introduced into the incoming sewage through the said pipes s, t.
To provide for the introduction of the said hot air or steam or gases or cultiva-
tions the pipes may be connected to a suitable source of supply thereof.
air or steam or gas or gases or cultivations of bacteria may also be introduced
into the anaerobic bed through a pipe or pipes communicating with the in-
terior of the cover of the said bed.
Hot
Instead of providing as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings for introduction of the sewage into the apparatus the pipes in
the subsidence chamber may be connected to the sewage supply pipes so that the
sewage will pass through them into the said chamber.
I sometimes attach a squeegee or brush to the pipet preferably at or near
the end thereof by any suitable or convenient means for the purpose of cleans-
ing the walls or sides of the subsidence chamber. Or I form channels or gutters
in the bottom of the subsidence chamber and arrange fixed perforated or slotted
pipes therein with the object of syphoning or pumping the deposited solids out
of the said chamber or of allowing them to escape by gravitation and I substi-
tute for the pipe a travelling scraper or scrapers which gathers or gather
the deposited matters into the said channels or gutters.
When removal from the subsidence chamber of solid matter deposited therein is
required the perforated pipe is caused to travel round the said chamber by
means of the gearing illustrated and the valve a is opened. The said solid
matter is then caused by the pressure of the liquid in the tank to pass into the
said pipe and from it through the pipes and branch from which it is con-
veyed away as may be required by any convenient means.
I may form the said anaerobic bacteria bed in two or more tiers or beds each
tier or bed being of any suitable depth or thickness and resting on open floors
or gratings similar to the one already described each of the said tiers or beds
being provided with a suitable covering and means for collecting the effluent
therefrom and provided with a separate outlet or separate outlets preferably
fitted with a valve or valves for regulating the outflow from each section or
division of either tier or bed.
The ammonia and other gases accumulating within the cover n may be con-
ducted by means of pipes to suitable receivers or holders and utilized in any
desired manner.
The cleaning of the tank and anaerobic bed may be effected by reversing its
action that is by letting water or the purified effluent in at the top and allowing
it to flow out or pumping it out 'through a pipe at the bottom so that any foul
matters would be washed downwards and removed.
The tank containing the anaerobic bed may be either sunk in the ground or
built above the level thereof according to circumstances and instead of being

page_text: circular it may be of any other convenient shape and a perforated floor may be
substituted for the domed reticulated brick roof of the subsidence chamber which
floor may be formed of concrete or of a grating of steel or iron plates buckled
or otherwise or of bars of steel or iron or wood or other suitable material
resting on girders supported by the outer walls of the tank or from the floor.
Or where a travelling pipe arranged as illustrated in the aforesaid figures of
the accompanying drawings is not required in the subsidence chamber the said
floors or the girders thereof may be supported by walls built on the floor of the
said chamber and preferably extending radially from the inner part or centre
thereof to or toward the outer walls.
In order to ensure that the sewage shall spread evenly and disseminate itself
under the entire area of my anaerobic bed or filter and pass equally through all
parts thereof I find it advantageous to direct the entering stream of sewage to-
wards the outer or circumferential parts of the bed. For this purpose I some-
times use a blade or blades or an arm or arms fixed to a shaft and made to revolve
by any convenient means or I may pass the sewage into the bottom chamber by
means of a pipe from the top this pipe being connected at the bottom with another
having holes in it for the sewage to escape through, the latter pipe being caused
to revolve in the subsidence chamber by any convenient means. Or I arrange in
the subsidence chamber in connection with the sewage supply pipe a number
of distributing pipes by which the sewage is delivered into the said chamber at
the outer part thereof. Such an arrangement of pipes is illustrated in Figures 4
and 5 of the accompanying drawings Figure 4 being a vertical section of a por-
tion of an anaerobic bed constructed according to my invention and Figure 5
a horizontal section taken through the subsidence chamber on the line B B
Figure 4. In the said figures the distributing pipes are marked z, z, z, z.
The effluent from the anaerobic bacteria bed may be treated further by passing
it through an aerobic bacteria bed preferably arranged in a receptacle formed
and fitted up as illustrated in Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings and
hereinafter described.
The said Figure 6 is a central vertical section of a receptacle for an aerobic
bacteria bed furnished with certain adjuncts for ensuring efficient action of
the bed and facilitating the working or use thereof. Referring to the said
figure, 1 is the said receptacle which may be of circular or other shape. In the
lower part is a perforated floor 2 supported by girders 3,3 the space above
which floor is designed for reception of materials such as are well known to be
suitable for use in the formation of aerobic bacteria beds. 4 is a collecting
chamber below the floor 2 into which chamber the liquid after being acted
on in the aerobic bed passes by way of the perforations in the said floor. 5 is
a central cylindrical passage which communicates between the collecting cham-
ber 4 and the space above the aerobic bed the approximate level of the top of
which bed is indicated by the broken line 6. Centrally within the cylindrical
passage 5 is mounted a rotatory shaft 7 carrying at its upper end a receiver 8
for reception of the effluent from the anaerobic apparatus hereinbefore described
which effluent is conveyed to and delivered into the said receiver by any suitable
means, 9, 9 are perforated pipes communicating with the said receiver from
the perforations in which pipes the liquid fed into the said receiver issues caus-
ing rotation of the shaft 7 the action being similar to that of a "Barker's mill."
Affixed to the portion of the shaft 7 within the passage 5 is a spiral blade 10
by which air is carried downward into the chamber 4 when the said shaft is
rotating and affixed to the portion of the said shaft which is within the said
chamber 4 are arms 11, 11 which may be straight or curved and the motion of
which causes diffusion throughout the said chamber of the air entering it from
the said passage 5. 12 is a pipe provided with a water seal for passage from the
apparatus of liquid accumulating in the chamber 4, and 13 is a pipe for admit-
ting of introduction to the said chamber of heated air or steam or gas or gases

page_text: or cultivations of bacteria which pipe or one similarly arranged may be used
for admitting of exit of heavy gases collecting in the said chamber during work-
ing of the apparatus.
The said apparatus acts as follows-The effluent from the anaerobic apparatus
being as stated deliverd into the receiver 8 and passing in streams from the
pipes 9,9 which travel round above the surface of the aerobic bacteria bed in
the receptacle 1 is by that means thoroughly distributed over the surface of the
said bed all parts of which in consequence are brought into action. From the
aerobic bed the purified effluent descends through the perforations in the floor 2
into the chamber 4 being exposed during its descent to the action of the air or
steam or gas or gases delivered into the said chamber in the bottom of which it
collects and from which it passes by the pipe 12.
Instead of the Barker's mill arrangement herein before described for impart-
ing motion to the shaft 7 and parts carried thereby a turbine or any other con-
venient motor may be used or provision may be made for actuating the said parts
by manual power.
The interior of the cylindrical passage 5 in which the spiral blade 10 works
may be lined with soft felt or the like to prevent escape of air between it and
the said blade.
I sometimes furnish my aerobic bacteria bed with a cover which may be
raised when necessary and which may be similar to that used by me for my
anaerobic bacteria bed and by this means I protect the top of the aerobic bed
from cold and frost and I sometimes lay in the chamber 4 or in any portoin
beneath the aforesaid cover circulating hot water pipes or hot air flues or supply
hot air in any other way. I sometimes arrange several of my aerobic bacteria
beds in combination in tiers or one above the other each tier or bed being of a
suitable depth or thickness and being supported on a perforated floor and pro-
vided with a suitable outlet or suitable outlets and each of the said tiers or
beds having arranged therein or combined therewith revolving pipes or other
means for distributing the effluent passing thereto and suitable means also for
collecting the effluent therefrom.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that I
claim:
First: In apparatus for the anaerobic treatment of sewage consisting of a
receptacle for containing the anaerobic bed below which is a chamber into which
the sewage passes before entering the said bed the arrangement in the said
chamber of means whereby air steam or gases may be introduced into the appar-
atus and whereby cultivations of bacteria may be diffused in the incoming
sewage before passage thereof to the anaerobic bed and whereby removal of
the residue may be effected while the sewage is flowing through and being acted
on in the said apparatus.
Secondly-The combination with apparatus for the anaerobic treatment of
sewage of a readily movable cover enclosing the top of the anaerobic bed and
rendered practically air and gas tight by means of a water seal or the like sub-
stantially as herein before described and illustrated in Figure 1 of the accom-
panying drawings by which cover the gases produced by the anaerobic action
within the said bed are confined.
Thirdly The division of an upwardly acting anaerobic filter bed into com-
partments by means of upright partitions and the provision of means whereby
the passage of the effluent from the several compartments may be separately
regulated for the purpose of equalizing the flow through all parts of the said
bed of the liquid to be acted on therein.
Fourthly: The combination with the collecting chamber of apparatus for
the aerobic treatment of sewage or anaerobic effluent or other polluted waters

page_text: of means for conveying air or steam or gases into the said chamber as herein-
before described and illustrated in Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings.
Fifthly: In an upwardly acting anaerobic filter bed the provision of means
for causing the entering stream of liquid to be directed towards the outer or
circumferential part of the bed.
