(54) IMPROVED AERATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR
CARRYING IT OUT
(71) We, CLEVEPAK COR
PORATION, a Corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware,
United States of America, of 925
Westchester Avenue, White Plains, State of
New York, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:
The invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for efficiently mixing aerating gas with waste water.
Industrial waste, sewage and the like are commonly purified by pumping the liquid into a large tank, pond or basin where a bacterial population consumes the inorganic and organic material. Because the dissolved oxygen in the waste water is usually insufficient to support the required population of bacteria, the water must be aerated. This can be done with a surface aerating machine which has beaters extending into the waste water from above the water surface to agitate the water and incorporate air. Alternatively, air can be diffused through the bottom of the basin, e.g., through a porous medium. Surface aerators are not efficient and cause certain mechanical problems. The energy loss of diffusing air is also great and a diffused system is not suitable for installation in an existing pond.
The waste water can also be aerated by pumping through submerged tubes with
Venturi openings through which air is drawn or pumped into the tubes to create turbulent mixing.
The present invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for mixing an aerating gas such as oxygen or air with waste water. The method includes aerating a body of waste water, by means of an aeration structure having a nozzle for liquid, a gas inlet, and an elongate chamber, wherein the interface between initially separate aerating gas and liquid streams, flowing in a generally parallel relationship with one another in the elongate chamber, is caused to become unstable and to impinge upon an interior wall surface of said elongate chamber in such manner that vortices are created whereby a gas-liquid mixture containing finely dispersed bubbles of gas is formed and caused to issue from an outlet of the elongate chamber into the body of waste water, the method including pumping waste water through the nozzle so as to initially form a liquid jet in a first portion of the elongate chamber, whilst separately introducing an aerating gas through the gas inlet into said first portion of the elongate chamber so as to initially flow in a generally parallel relationship and annularly surrounding said liquid jet, thereafter causing the interface between the separate gas and liquid streams to impinge upon the interior wall surface of the elongate chamber, thereby forming vortices resulting in intimate mixing of the liquid and gas, and causing the thus-formed gas-liquid mixture to pass through a second portion of said elongate chamber which is tapered to progressively constrict the gas-liquid mixture in the direction of flow within the elongate chamber before issuing from the outlet thereof. The apparatus for carrying out that method includes an aeration structure having a nozzle for liquid, a gas inlet and an elongate chamber, a pump for pumping waste water through said nozzle, and a pump for pumping aeration gas through said gas inlet, wherein
said nozzle has an outlet into said elongate chamber with a cross-sectional area less than that of the elongate chamber at the nozzle outlet, and is adapted to form a liquid jet stream in said elongate chamber;
said gas inlet is adapted to introduce a stream of aeration gas into said extending chamber, initially in a direction generally parallel to and annularly surrounding the liquid jet; and
said elongate chamber has a first and a second portion, said second portion being down stream from said first portion and being tapered to progressively constrict the flow of gas and liquid therein prior to issuing from the outlet of the elongate chamber into the body of waste water, the first portion, if tapered, being tapered at a lesser angle than the second portion, and said first portion extending down stream from the outlet of said nozzle and being adapted to initially confine the separate parallel gas and liquid streams and under the influence of the constriction subsequently cause the interface therebetween to become unstable and to impinge upon an interior wall surface of the elongate chamber to thereby create vortices and intimate mixing of the gas and liquid.
In operation the mixing chamber of the apparatus is to be disposed below the surface of the waste water. A suitable gas, such as oxygen or air containing oxygen, is injected into the or each of the elongate chambers in the mixing chambers at a discontinuity in the former, to form generally parallel streams of gas and water in it. As the two streams move along the elongate chamber, the interface between the two streams becomes unstable and waves form which attach to its side walls.
This causes large frictional stresses, creating tiny bubbles which mix with the water.
Since the water and air essentially flow in the same direction the system is energy
efficient.
In the apparatus the elongate chamber is tapered in the downstream direction at least
at its second portion which provides its
nozzle. The first portion may be parallel
sided but is preferably tapered, and if it is
tapered, it is tapered at a lesser angle than
the second portion. The contriction
afforded by at least the second portion
ensures that the vortices created by the
mixing do not extend out of the chamber.
This would reduce the efficiency of mixing.
Helical vanes are preferably provided in
injection bores for the air to create greater
wave generating conditions which extend
the operating range of the device to greater
air flow rates.
This apparatus can be quickly and easily
installed in any existing aeration pond
without the need for the existing system to
be shut down for an extended period and
without the need for the pond to be drained,
a project which is difficult or impossible in
most instances. It can, in fact, be installed
and operating within a few minutes. In
comparison with diffused air type and
surface aeration devices, the energy
required to incorporate a given amount of
oxygen into the water is much less. Because
little energy is wasted in turbulent mixing,
the present method is more energy efficient
than Venturi, jet or impingement type devices which depend on turbulent mixing.
Further, the bubbles which are produced are tiny, thus creating a good environment for effective use of the oxygen by the bacteria within the pond or basin. Many of the other disadvantages of surface aerators and diffusion type devices are also avoided.
Particular embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of the apparatus embodying the present invention in use;
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the apparatus of Figure 1;
Figure 3 shows a sectional view of a mixing chamber without helical vanes;
Figure 4 shows a front view of a mixing chamber with helical vanes;
Figure 5 shows a partial sectional view of the mixing chamber of Figure 4;
Figure 6 shows a schematic view of another embodiment;
Figure 7 and 8 show a further embodiment.
Figures 1 and 2 schematically illustrate one embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, a plurality of circumferentially disposed mixing chambers 20, each preferably identical to the other, are circularly disposed around a dome manifold 22 which includes an upper section 24 into which water is pumped and a lower section 26 connected to a source of air or oxygen at a suitable pressure. Each of the mixing chambers is of the type shown in detail in
Figures 3-5 and discussed in detail below.
A plurality of conduits 30, each formed of a metal segment 32 and a plastic segment 34, connect section 24 to each mixing chamber 20 so that water is continuously pumped through each chamber 20. A similar series of conduits 40, each formed of a metal portion 42 and a plastic portion 44, connect section 26 to each of the mixing chambers 20. Each of the mixing chambers 20 forms parallel streams of air and gas which interact within an elongate chamber in the mixing chamber to form tiny bubbles which efficiently mix with the pumped waste water as it passes between an inlet and outlet.
Manifold 22 is suspended from a fibreglass floating work platform 50 by means of guide bars 52, 54, and two bars behind bars 52 and 54. Industrial air piping conduit 60 is attached to guide bar 54 for supplying air to section 26. Cable 62 connects the manifold 22 to a frame 64 on platform 50 for lifting manifold 22 and holding manifold 22 in position for maintenance.
Submerged pump 66 is mounted above manifold 22 and includes a self-cleaning strainer basket 67 over the pump intake which keeps most debris from entering the pump. For many installations the basket can be omitted and the debris which collects in the pump back-flushed as described below.
Small particles do accumulate on the outside of basket 67. Conduit 68 connects pump 66 to section 24.
Platform 50 is provided with suitable railings 70 of a height so that the unit can be lifted to a level for convenient work on the mixing chambers 20 and pump 66. An onshore air pump 74 is schematically shown as connected to line 60 for pumping air, oxygen or other gas to section 26 for mixing with the pumped waste water.
When it is desired to clean the inevitable particles and debris which will accumulate on basket 67, within pump 66 and within mixing chambers 20, pump 66 can simply be turned off while the air pump 74 continues forcing air into mixing chambers 20.
Surprisingly, instead of moving out of the outlet on each chamber, the air will pump waste water back through the inlet opposite to the direction of flow during aeration, through conduits 34 and 32 into section 22, through conduit 68 and through pump 66, blowing off the debris which has accumulated on the outside of strainer basket 67. This occurs because the water pressure at the level of the strainer basket is ower than the water pressure at the level of the mixing chambers 20.
Alternatively, flushing can be accomplished by operating a valve 76 in a line 78 which connects to conduit 68. The debris will now be blown into the air and since the pressure differential is greater, the force produced, by the air which works as an air hammer, will blow the debris through the system and back-flush all of the material in a few minutes.
FIGURES 3-5 illustrate in more detail two embodiments of the mixing chamber 20 of the present invention. Waste water flows from the inlet through passage 100 into the elongate chamber 102. At the intersection between passage 100 and chamber 102, a discontinuity 104 is provided at which a plurality of bores terminates. The bores inject gas at an angle between roughly 11 and 22-1/20. To keep the vortices within a chamber 102 at high air pressures, a chamber 110 with helical vanes 106 as shown in FIGURES 4 and 5 creates greater wave generating conditions, as the water enters a chamber (not shown) similar to the chamber shown in FIGURE 3.
Thus, two parallel streams of gas and waste water are created as shown in
FIGURE 3. As the streams move along the elongate chamber 102, the friction between them causes waves to form and air thus
trapped in the waves to disperse into tiny bubbles. Since the air and gas streams move in the same direction, effective mixing is achieved at minimum energy consumption.
It is desirable that under most conditions the mixing take place within chamber 102 and for that reason the chamber is slightly tapered inwardly within the portion 110 with the cross-section decreasing in the direction from inlet to outlet and more radically tapered inwardly within portion 112. These tapers extend the maximum air flow rate with which the system will operate by several times without substantial loss of efficiency.
The helical guide vanes 106 provide a twisting motion to the air and thus create more waves which also help the interface break up more quickly by creating instability.
The mixing chambers can be made of any suitable materials such as stainless steel,
aluminium or plastics.
FIGURE 6 shows another embodiment in which the submersible pump is replaced with a conventional waste water pump 200 mounted beside tank 202 and connected to manifold 204 by line 206. Pump 200 has an
inlet 207. A plurality of mixing chambers
208 are mounted about manifold 204 and
can be any suitable mixing device such as a jet, vortex, Venturi or impingement type
device. Air pump 210 is also mounted beside
tank 202 and is connected to manifold 204
by line 212. Valve 214 can be opened to
back-flush waste water as described above while pump 200 is turned off and pump 210
continues to force gas into the mixing
chambers of device 208. The gas then
pumps the waste water back through
manifold 204 and line 206 where it leaves via
valve 214. The waste water returns to the
tank and the debris is caught in strainer 216
if desired.
Figures 7 and 8 illustrate yet another
embodiment of the invention which utilizes
mixing chambers as described above. In the
arrangement of Figures 7 and 8, water in a
suitable tank 300 is pumped through a
straight line pipe 302 by a pump 304. A
plurality of mixing chambers 306 extend
outwardly from pipe 302 at separated
locations as shown in Figure 7. Air is
supplied to a second pipe 308 which extends
above and parallel to pipe 302.
Alternatively, one pipe can be within the
other. Pipe 308 is connected to the
individual mixing chambers for injecting air
into those chambers. Pipes 302 and 308
preferably extend along the center of the
basin 300 parallel to the edges so as to cause
a favourable pattern of water flow from one
side to the other using a minimum amount
of energy to create maximum flow and
aeration. The system is flushed by opening valve 310 while pump 304 is turned off and air continued to be supplied to chambers 306.
Many changes and modifications in the above described embodiments of the invention can, of course, be carried out without departing from the scope of the invention. The system can be used with nonaqueous liquids and gas other than air, such as pure oxygen, can be added. Accordingly, the invention is limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
