A laboratory device, in particular a rotary evaporator, serves for evaporating a substance, preferably under reduced pressure, and comprises an evaporation flask for receiving the substance to be evaporated, a condenser for condensing the evaporated substance and a vapor passage for passing through the evaporated substance, which vapor passage is arranged in a vapor path between the evaporation flask and the condenser. The laboratory device further comprises a detection unit for foam detection, which detection unit is provided outside of the vapor passage and/or the evaporation flask.

A separation system for separating a multiphase fluid into an oil fraction and at least one of a water fraction and a gas fraction includes an elongated separator vessel which includes a multiphase fluid inlet and an oil outlet located downstream of the multiphase fluid inlet, a first immersed plate heater which is positioned in the separator vessel between the multiphase fluid inlet and the oil outlet, a heating medium heater which is located externally of the separator vessel and is fluidly connected to the first immersed plate heater, a second immersed plate heater which is positioned in the separator vessel between the multiphase fluid inlet and the oil outlet and which includes an inlet and an outlet, and an oil discharge line which is connected between the oil outlet and the inlet of the second immersed plate heater. In operation, a heating fluid which is heated in the heating medium heater is circulated through the first immersed plate heater to heat the multiphase fluid, and the oil fraction discharged from the oil outlet is circulated through the second immersed plate heater to heat the multiphase fluid.

The invention is a high-salt waste water air powered low temperature evaporating device and method of use. A tray is mounted on a lifting platform; an air inlet and a water inlet are on the tray. Air distributing pipes are arranged at the center of the nested column tubes (33). A groove (4) is installed at the top of the tray, and mounting points are accompanied by multiple nested column tubes (33). The nested column tubes (33) are connected with the air inlet. An atomizer is arranged inside the air distributing pipes; and the atomizer is connected with the water distributing pipes. Using air power evaporates concentrated waste water multiple times so that the salt in the wastewater reaches saturated concentration, and therefore, the wastewater temperature is reduced, salt is crystallized and separated out, liquid is continuously evaporated, and the wastewater can be completely treated.

A froth coalescing device comprises a froth receiving chamber with a vent and an umbrella valve arranged between the vent and a gas out port. The vent may be arranged to vent gas in a direction different from a direction of travel of froth in the receiving chamber.

A system for dispensing a liquid includes a filter adapted to filter a liquid and to provide a filtered liquid at a liquid outlet of the filter, and a tank having a liquid inlet coupled to the liquid outlet of the filter via a first pipe. The tank includes an upper portion having a first lateral dimension and a lower portion having a second lateral dimension less than the first lateral dimension. The upper portion of the tank is above the liquid inlet of the tank.

A froth coalescing device includes a froth receiving chamber with a vent, and a vertical membrane arranged between the vent and a gas out port of the froth coalescing device. The vent is arranged to vent gas in a direction that is different from a direction of travel of froth in the froth receiving chamber.

The present invention provides an industrial wastewater recovery apparatus (100) aiming at Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). The apparatus (100) provides two stages in pre-heating the spiral coil pipe (103) containing wastewater and also conserves the heat by using the two heat exchangers (104, 105). The apparatus (100) agitates the surface wastewater to increase the rate of evaporation for faster heating. The apparatus (100) provides two stages in condensation of distilled water and also provides real-time monitoring of the water quality. The apparatus (100) provides automatic cleaning in the various parts during the operations. Further, a plurality of IoT sensor (201) monitor the real time parameters of the industrial wastewater recovery apparatus (100) and data is available to the user on the electronic display device (204).

The present invention provides improved methods for purifying and/or removing oily particles, and/or contaminants suspended or dissolved in water. In particular the process relates to an additive composition that has the appropriate surfactant characteristics for effectively removing an oil phase from an oil/aqueous mixed phase via foam fractionation. According to the invention, a hydrophobically modified polymer that acts as an associative thickener is combined with surfactant in appropriate ratios to facilitate oil removal for water purification in any of a number of commercial, environmental and industrial applications.

An agitation/defoaming device is provided, which can independently control revolving and rotational motion and can change a rotational direction relative to a revolving direction without a two-system rotary drive.

The apparatus includes a rotary driving source, a braking device for rotary motions; first and second rotors revolved around revolving shaft, and first and second rotational bodies container holders pivotally supported by the first rotor. A breaking force is applied to the second rotor revolving along with the first rotor, generating a rotational motion, which is transmitted to either the first or second rotational body according to the revolving direction of the first rotor. The rotational motion is then transmitted from the first or second rotational body to the container holder through the first rotational body, thereby transmitting to the object the rotational motion according to the revolving direction while revolving the object.
