Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for removing impurities from a liquid, comprising a reservoir for holding filtering material at the bottom side thereof on the one hand and a liquid, in particular at the upper side above the filtering material, on the other hand, a liquid supply channel opening into the bottom side of the reservoir for supplying liquid to be purified to the reservoir via liquid displacement means, a first liquid discharge channel extending from the upper side of the reservoir for discharging purified liquid from the reservoir and a fluid supply channel opening into the bottom side of the reservoir for causing turbulence in filtering material present in the liquid at regular intervals by supplying a fluid, using fluid displacement means, and thus detaching impurities from said filtering material.
- the invention is intended and in particular suitable for use with ponds in which (ornamental) fish are present. It is important that the water in such ponds retains a particular level of purity in spite of the production of manure by the fish. Al- though such manure is decomposed in a fully natural manner by the oxygen in the water, this natural decomposition is insufficient in particular in the case of ponds in which a relatively large number of fish are present.
- Japanese carp for example, also referred to as Koi, a Japanese term, are known to produce a relatively great deal of manure, whilst Japanese carp often represent a considerable economic value.
- a biological filtering material in particular in the form of granules, for this purpose.
- a biological filtering material acts as a catalyst in the natural decomposition of manure by oxygen.
- impurities adhere in the form of a slimy layer to the filtering material, which is usually characterized by a rough outer structure. Because of said adherence of the impurities to the filtering material, a certain degree of saturation of the filtering material occurs, as a result of which the purifying action of the biological filtering material may quickly deteriorate.
- British patent application GB 2,371,244 A describes a two- stage water purification system.
- water from a pond is passed through a screen, which retains impurities in the form of particu- late material in the water.
- a liquid flow past the screen is created, as a result of which the particles are dislodged from the mesh and settle on the bottom, where said particulate material can be manually removed.
- the pond water to be further purified is carried past a biological filtering material, thus providing a further purification of the water.
- Rinsing air can be supplied to the filtering material via the bottom of the reservoir so as to clear of the granular filtering material of impurities adhering thereto.
- An important drawback of said filtering device is the fact that the degree to which the individual granules of the filtering material are subjected to the action of the rinsing air cannot be controlled in any way.
- certain granules of filtering material for example granules present in the corner of the reservoir, are hardly subjected to the action of the rinsing air, if at all, whilst other granules are subjected to the action of the rinsing air more than is necessary.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device as referred to in the introduction, possibly in preferred embodiments of the invention, that provides a solution or at least an improvement as regards the drawbacks of the prior art as described above.
- a pipe comprising a first end positioned at the bottom side of the reservoir and a second end positioned opposite said first end is provided in the reservoir, spaced from the mouth of the fluid supply channel by some distance, for the passage of a fluid being supplied to the reservoir via the fluid supply channel.
- the pipe thus provides a separation between granular filtering material in the pipe and between the mouth and the first end of the pipe on the one hand and the remaining granular filtering material in the reservoir on the other hand, with the former part of the granular material moving away from the mouth and being expressly subjected to the agitating action of the fluid flow, whilst the latter part of the granular filtering material moves towards the mouth, thus creating the aforesaid circulation.
- various cross- sectional shapes of the pipe may be used, for example circular, square or elongated.
- said filtering material is agitated by a fluid flowing past, such as a relatively strong liquid flow or a gas flow, more specifically air bubbles, as a result of which the parti cul ate impurities will become detached from the filtering material and be suspended in the liquid above the filtering material on account of the relatively low specific weight of said impurities. From said suspended condition, the particulate impurities can be readily discharged. To that end a screen might be used, for example, which is moved through the liquid by hand, thus catching the suspended impurities.
- a fluid flowing past such as a relatively strong liquid flow or a gas flow, more specifically air bubbles
- the pipe is preferably provided with a funnel on the side facing towards the mouth of the fluid supply channel, which funnel flares out in the direction of the mouth of the fluid supply channel.
- the second end of the pipe is preferably disposed in the upper side of the reservoir in order to prevent the impurities that have been detached in the pipe from adhering to filtering material again.
- a resistance element is preferably disposed in the reservoir, spaced from the second end of the pipe by some distance and being in line therewith.
- the resistance element ensures that the filtering material will to a large extent remain at the bottom side of the reservoir, in spite of the turbulence being produced, so that the discharge of detached impurities can take place more quickly, more efficiently and more simply.
- biological filtering material is thus prevented from reaching said second liquid discharge channel .
- a maximum turbulence of the filtering material can be achieved if the fluid supply channel opens into the bottom of the reservoi .
- the bottom of the reservoir extends upwards from the mouth of the fluid supply channel, since the biological filter- ing material, assuming that it is in granular form, will sink towards the mouth of the fluid supply channel under the influence of the force of gravity, where it will be driven away again by the fluid.
- the bottom of the reservoir is substantially V-shaped, seen in vertical cross-sectional view.
- the mouth of the fluid supply channel in the reservoir is directed upwards, so that the impurities that have been detached from the filtering material are driven to the upper side of the reservoir, where they will stay longer than the particulate biological filtering material because of their relatively low specific weight.
- a convenient manner of discharging impurities that have been detached from the filtering material, which impurities are suspended in the liquid above said filtering material, can be obtained if the device comprises a second liquid discharge channel extending from the upper side of the reservoir for discharging liquid with impurities suspended therein as a result of the turbulence of the filtering material, and shut-off means for shutting off the first liquid discharge channel and/or the second liquid discharge channel.
- Such a device is pre-eminently suitable for being operated in a fully automated manner, for example by means of a timer, wherein liquid containing impurities that previously adhered to the biological filtering material are discharged, for example to a sewer system, via the second liquid discharge channel during the period that a turbulence is caused in the filtering material and/or for a short period of time thereafter.
- the shut-off means are provided. Said shut-off means are not necessarily operative on the first liquid discharge channel, since it is also conceivable to use a configuration in which liquid, in order to reach the first liquid discharge channel from the reservoir, must pass the inlet of the second liquid discharge channel.
- the shut-off means By opening said inlet of the second liquid discharge channel, using the shut-off means, it can be arranged that liquid from the reservoir is temporarily unable to reach the first liquid discharge channel .
- a weir is preferably provided between the first liquid discharge channel and the second liquid discharge channel. Liquid will not flow over said weir until the liquid discharge channel that is located upstream of the weir has been shut-off by the shut-off means.
- the fluid displacement means and the shut-off means are preferably arranged for joint operation, so that the impurities that have been detached from the filtering material by the fluid flow cannot unintentionally reach the pond yet.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic, vertical cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device of figure 1.
- Figures 3a and 3b are sectional views along the line III- III in figure 2, showing the unclosed position and the closed position, respectively.
- Figure 4 is a schematic, vertical cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention in the stationary position of use.
- Figure 5 shows the second embodiment in a rinsing position.
- Figure 1 shows a filtering system 1 comprising a cylindrical reservoir 2 having a bottom 3.
- the bottom 3 is V-shaped, seen in vertical cross-sectional view.
- Present at the bottom side of the reservoir is a granular biological filtering material 4, whilst the space above said filtering material 4 is filled with pond water 5 up to level 17. It will be understood that water is present also between the grains of the biological filtering material 4.
- the supply of water to be purified to the reservoir 2 takes place via the water supply pipe 6, which is provided with an annular element 13 at its outflow opening, which element extends around the pipe 10 along part of the length thereof.
- the annular element 13 is centrally positioned in the biological filtering material 4.
- the outflow of water takes place either in upward direction or in downward direction via the annular space between the annular element 13 and the outer side of the pipe 10.
- the biological filtering material 4 on the one hand provides for the decomposition of impurities in the pond water being supplied, whilst on the other hand the impurities will in part adhere to the biological filtering material 4 in the form of a slimy layer.
- a container 19 (not shown in figure 1) is disposed.
- a circulation pipe 14 which eventually returns the water to the pond from which it originated, and a discharge pipe 15, which is connected to a sewer system.
- a weir 16 is disposed between the circulation pipe 14 and the discharge pipe 15.
- a membrane valve 20 Disposed above the circulation pipe 14 is a membrane valve 20, which is not pneumatically energized via a pneumatic pipe 21 during normal use and which consequently does not shut off the circula- tion pipe 14.
- An air supply pipe 8 opens into the point of the V-shaped of the bottom 3 at the location indicated by reference numeral 9.
- the pipe 10 with the funnel 11 present at the bottom thereof is positioned directly above the mouth 9, with the lower end of the pipe 10 being located in the part of the reservoir 2 in which the biological filtering material 4 is present, whilst the upper end of the pipe 10 is located in the part of the reservoir 2 in which particularly pond water 5 and no filtering material 4 is present.
- a disc-shaped check member 12 10 spaced therefrom by some distance, is a disc-shaped check member 12.
- pump means (not shown) circulate pond water from a pond via the water supply pipe 6 to the biological filtering material 4, where the purification process, which is known per se, takes place. Then the water is returned to the pond in question via the outlet 7 and the circulation pipe 14. During this process, slimy impurities will gradually adhere to the granular biological filtering material 4. To remove these impurities and thus maintain the purifying action of the biological filtering material 4 at the required standard, air is supplied to the reservoir 2 via the air supply pipe 8 for one or more minutes each day, depending on the expected degree of contamination of the filtering material 4.
- the membrane valve 20 will be energized, as a result of which the circulation pipe 14 is shut off. Since water continues to be supplied from the pond (not shown) via the water supply pipe 6, the level of the pond water 5 in the reservoir 2 will rise from the level indicated at 17 to a higher level indicated at 18, which is the same level as the level of the upper side of the weir 16. When the supply of pond water to the reservoir 2 via the supply pipe 6 is continued, water will flow over the weir 16, which water will be discharged via the discharge pipe 15. This part of the water will contain a significantly higher percentage of suspended impurities, for reasons yet to be explained. Consequently it is not advisable to return this part of the pond water to the pond.
- the supply of air via the air supply pipe 8 causes the granular filtering material 4 to be stirred and pushed up via the pipe 10.
- a funnel 11 is provided for intercepting the filtering material 4.
- the filtering material 4 exits the pipe 10 at the upper end thereof, after which the upward movement is stopped by the check member 12 and the filtering material 4 will sink to the bottom of the reservoir 2 again under the influence of the force of gravity. Because of the agitation to which the filtering material 4 is exposed, the slimy impurities adhering to the filtering material will be detached therefrom. Said detached particles have a relatively low specific weight and will remain suspended in the pond water at the upper side of the reservoir. As al- ready indicated above, this part of the pond water 5 will eventually be discharged via the discharge pipe 15.
- the supply of air via the air supply pipe 8 is stopped and the membrane valve 20 is no longer energized, so that the water can circulate via the circulation pipe 14 again and no new water is supplied to the discharge pipe 15.
- the water level will fall from level 18 to level 17 again. It stands to reason that fresh pond water must be supplied to the reservoir to replace the pond water that has been discharged via the discharge pipe 15.
- the pipe 8 of the filtering system 1 is used for supplying air, said pipe might alternatively also be used for supplying a liquid, such as water, and even pond water.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 schematically show a filtering system 51 that likewise falls within the scope of the present invention.
- Figure 4 shows the normal usage of the system
- figure 5 shows a rinsing position that is used periodically, e.g. on a daily basis, for a short period, e.g. 5 minutes, depending on the expected degree of contamination.
- the filtering system 51 shows a great deal of similarity to the filtering system 1.
- the system likewise comprises a reservoir 52 having a V-shaped bottom 53, seen in vertical cross-sectional view.
- a granular biological filtering material 54 is present at the bottom side of the reservoir 52, up to the level indicated at 55.
- Pond water 56 is circulated through the reservoir 52 by means of a pump (not shown), with the pond water 56 entering the reservoir 52 via the inlet pipe 57 and the passage 58 and, during normal use as shown in figure 4, exiting the reservoir 52 again via the return pipe 59 that extends from the upper part of the reservoir 52 and returning to the pond in question.
- the pond water 56 passes the filtering material 54, as a result of which the filtering material 54 is cleared of impurities adhering thereto.
- the upper surface 64a of the water is at the same level as the inlet opening 65 of the return pipe 59.
- the fil- tering system 51 can be placed in the rinsing position as shown in figure 5.
- the air valve 59 that is connected to a pneumatic supply pipe 64 is switched over.
- the valve 60 is pneumatically energized via valve 59 and pneumatic pipe 61 which connects to valve 59.
- a central pipe 61 is closed at the upper end thereof (figure 4).
- the energized condition of the valve 60 is terminated by switching over the valve 59, as a result of which the valve 60 moves upwards to a limited extent and the upper end of the pipe 61 is opened.
- the valve 62 is pneumatically energized via the pipe 63, as a result of which, in the first place, the inlet opening 65 of the return pipe 59 is closed, which in turn leads to the level of the water 56 rising to the level 64b when pumping is continued, which level 64b is the level of the discharge pipe 66 that opens into a sewer system.
- the valve 60 functions as a resis- tance element for stopping the upward movement of the filtering material.
- the filtering material 54 will move along the bottom 53 to the passage 58.
- a circulation of filtering material 54 through the pipe 61 is created, so that all the filtering material 54 is subjected to the rinsing action of the air flow in the pipe 61.
- the detached impurities are much lighter than the filtering material 54 and remain suspended in the pond water 56 above the filtering material 54, from which they will eventually be discharged to the sewer together with the pond water 56 via the discharge pipe 66.
