A drilling mud remediation and drilling cutting treatment device and method. There are three main components: a vacuum liquid solid separator; a pelletizer; and an induction furnace. The liquid solid separator has a seamless filter belt configured to carry a mixture of liquids and solids over a vacuum. A slurry comprised of drilling mud and cuttings is deposited on the filter belt. An applicator ensures that the slurry is deposited evenly across the entire filter belt at a uniform thickness. The vacuum removes most of the liquids for further treatment and reuse. The solids are transferred to a pelletizer which compacts them into relatively uniform pellets while removing much residual liquid. The pelletized cuttings are then passed through an induction furnace, which removes any residual liquids, renderings the cuttings safe for disposal.

An underwater station may include a filter manipulator that is arranged to input a filter into a pool cleaning robot that is located in a filter replacement position and to assist in positioning the filter at a filtering position in which the filter is at least partially disposed within a fluid path formed between a first fluid opening and a second fluid opening of the housing thereby allowing the filter to apply a filtering operation on fluid that passes through the fluid path.

The present invention relates to a rotary pressure filter, comprising a filter housing, and a filter drum, wherein a plurality of treatment zones comprises at least a suspension insertion zone and a discharge zone, wherein the rotary pressure filter is configured such that a pressure being present in the suspension insertion zone is higher than a pressure being present in the discharge zone, and that, each time a filter cell, coming from the discharge zone and containing gas having the discharge zone's pressure, enters the suspension insertion zone, the pressure of the suspension insertion zone drops, characterized in that the rotary pressure filter further comprises equipment that is configured to reduce and/or to slow the pressure drop of the pressure in the suspension insertion zone each time a filter cell coming from the discharge zone enters the suspension insertion zone.

The present discloses a waste screening apparatus comprising: a main body; a waste screener vertically and tiltedly disposed in the main body to screen wastes in the input water and to allow waste-removed water to be discharged through water discharge holes defined in both side faces of the main body respectively, wherein the waste screener vertically circulates in a conveyor manner, wherein the input water is input to a front, rear and bottom of the waste screener; wherein the main body includes: both side walls having the water discharge holes defined therein respectively to allow waste-removed water to be discharged out from the waste screener therethrough; and a rear blocking wall disposed at a rear of the waste screener to be spaced from the waste screener, wherein the input water passes through front and rear portions of the waste screener with wastes being removed from the input water, and, then, is discharged out through the water discharge holes defined in the both side walls respectively.

Apparatus and methodologies are provided for pumping fluids from a body of fluids. Herein, an apparatus operably connected to at least one pump for pumping fluids from a body of fluids is provided, the apparatus having a pump hose with a first intake end for receiving the pumped fluids and a second outlet end operably connected to the pump, a pump intake assembly, fluidically connected to the intake end of the pump hose, the pump intake assembly having at least one fluid control valve, a rotatable filter cage, centrally disposed about the pump intake assembly, and at least one fluid injection pipe centrally disposed within the pump hose for supporting the at least one fluid control valve, and for injecting fluids to drive the rotation of the rotatable filter cage. Herein, methods of utilizing the fluid pumping apparatus are provided.

A pleated filter includes a filter base having folds that repeatedly form mountains and valleys and having a cylindrical shape whose axial direction is a ridge line direction of the folds. The pleated filter includes, in a valley projecting to the inside of the cylindrical shape, a bonded reinforcing portion extending in the ridge line direction of the folds.

An arrangement is provided for detecting a damage of a filter fabric (8) of a disc filter (1) at a disc filter unit comprising disc filters. The arrangement includes a measurement bar (20) that includes two or more microphones (21), a store (45) including stored sound samples, at least one alarming means and a processing arrangement (43) for analyzing online sound or sound samples captured by the microphones (21). The processing arrangement (43) is connected to the microphones (21), the store (45) and the at least one alarming means. A method is also disclosed for detecting a damage of a filter fabric (8) of a disc filter (1) at a disc filter unit.

A pool cleaning device includes a debris collection member having a forward displacement unit connected thereto. The debris collection member includes a generally rectangular-shaped frame having a mesh net suspended therefrom. A pole receiver is positioned along the rear wall of the frame and interacts with a pole to receive a pushing and/or pulling force from a user. The forward displacement unit includes a leading edge member having a plurality of protrusions for disrupting debris located along a pool body. The leading edge member is suspended between a pair of extension arms which also are connected to the frame. A tensioning mechanism is positioned between each arm and the frame and secures the leading edge at a resting location that is above the frame and net.
