Abstract
A perforated cylindrical screen (1) is caused to rotate about a horizontal axis by the flow of sewage or water from (9) to (10) along a flow channel, the liquid entering and leaving internal chambers (2) generally below the horizontal axis. Solids are removed from the screen by doctor blade (6) which is fixed to counterbalance arms (8). Floats (11) relieve the pressure between the doctor blade (6) and the screen if blockages cause abnormally high water levels. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Flow powered rotary screen
This cylindrical screen which is caused to rotate by the passage through it of the water to be screened has been designed to intercept and remove suspended items from flowing water. It has been designed primarily for the removal of floating matter from sewage but could be used in industrial or chemical processes for the extraction of solids from afluid/solid mixture.
Sewage screens are normally employed at sewage treatment works for the removal of floating objects prior to further treatment and in sewers or at sewage pumping stations for improving the quality of the permitted overflow water in excess of the maximum duty capacity, or as an emergency overflow in the event of failure of the system or of the power supply.
The invention refers to a perforated cylindrical screen enclosing sealed peripheral chambers. The screen is free to rotate about a horizontal axis and is mounted at such a level that the water to be screened can enter through the perforations into the chambers on one side near the bottom of the cylinder. Screenings, i.e. the intercepted debris are retained on the external face of the screen and due to the hydraulic static and kinetic forces the screen is induced to rotate so that the full chambers empty on the other side of the vertical axis and more chambers to fill on the first side, thus to continue the operation.
The screenings are removed from the screen face by a counterbalanced doctor blade and are retained in the chamber into which the screen is installed.
To describe the invention more fully I refer to the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 Sectional Elevation
Figure2 End Elevation
Figure 3 Front Elevation
The perforated drum (1) encloses the sealed chambers (2) and is free to revolve on bearings (3) mounted in sidesheets (4). The flow of water is constrained to the perforated drum surface by seals (5) fixed to the sidesheets (4), by the doctor blade (6) which fits closely to the sidesheets (4) and by the under seal (7). The doctor blade (6) is free to rotate about the fulcrum of the counter balance arm (8).
Water flows from inlet (9) to outlet (10) causing the screen (1) to rotate. Screenings intercepted at its face are removed by the doctor blade (6) and are retained within the chamber into which the screen is installed. In the event of blockage due to excessive quantities of debris which could otherwise cause problems of greater consequence, provision is made by floats (11) connected to the counterbalance arms (8) so that the rising water level will utilise the buoyancy of the floats (11) to relieve pressure between the doctor blade (6) and the screen (1). This enables the clearance of the blockage, the subsidence of the water level and the resumption of normal operation. An adjustment lever (12) at each sidesheet (4) facilitates the setting of the doctor blade (6) to within a minimum clearance of the screen (1).
1. A cylindrical screen mounted in free running bearings with its axis horizontal and containing internal peripheral sealed chambers which is caused to rotate by the entry and exit by gravitational force of the screened water into and from the sealed chambers in a vertical arc generally below the horixontal axis, the screenings being removed from the screen face by a self re-setting doctor blade.
2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including the buoyancy method for relieving the operating pressure of the doctor blade.
