This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in a defiber process stream by using two or more mechanical devices to separate the solids from the liquids based on density differences. The process produces animal feed products having a protein content ranging from approximately 45% to approximately 64%.

Separating apparatus, comprising a sedimentation settler and a collection vessel disposed underneath and being in fluid communication with the sedimentation settler, the collection vessel forming a receiving chamber having an outlet at or adjacent to the chamber bottom and having an inlet opening, wherein the collection vessel is arranged such the flow direction of the fluid in the area underneath the sedimentation settler is substantially in line with the direction of the channels of the sedimentation settler.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for liquid reflux suction-filter-pump in treating the types of waste liquid into potable water, which comprises a lower liquid chamber (10) located beneath an upper liquid chamber (20), a transmission shaft (70) connected to a dual impeller (30) in the chamber (10) to suction liquid from the chamber (10) or from the outside through a waste liquid suction hose (50) to pump into the chamber (20) or pump through a filter cartridge tube (40), and a residual tank (60) to contain residues blocked from the filter cartridge tube (40). The characteristics of the above components and the methods of integrating these components into a system can better support activities in the fields of dental care, health care, and food processing, agriculture, and industry, aerospace, submarine. In addition, the present invention refers to the method for liquid reflux suction-filter-pump in treating the types of waste liquid into potable water by using this apparatus.

The universal separator is a device that provides simultaneous separation of solids and oils (and potentially gases) from water. It has applications in many industries including: Sewage Treatment; Water Treatment; Oil & Gas (tailings ponds, SAGD, etc.); Mining; and Food Processing. Furthermore, the concept offers virtually endless operating and geometric variations depending on the application. The universal separator employs various means of separation including coagulation, cyclonic separation, recycling, electrostatic demulsification and oil floatation.

A method and system for flushing an area of a robotic harvest dairy barn is presented. The method is based upon defining areas within the dairy barn that, by virtue of use of robots for cow-initiated milking will be maintained in a hygienically clean and dry condition with frequent flushings of short duration. The four areas of the barn felt to benefit from this frequent flushing including any of: an area immediately surrounding a robot; a holding area for staging cows for milking at the robot; a robot control room; and a milk collection room. In the relevant areas the flooring deck is configured to slope at its upper surface to define a drain area, the drain area including at least one grated drain positioned to collect any liquid deposited on the upper surface of the provided flooring deck. A collecting pipe network conducts liquid collected to a baffled tank.

A filtration unit inspection device including an image capturing device for generating image data, an operator unit for presenting the image data, and a data cable connecting the image capturing device to the operator unit, the image capturing device and at least part of the data cable being adapted to be fed into a filtration unit, wherein the filtration unit inspection device includes a guiding element that is provided on the image capturing device for facilitating feeding the image capturing device through the filtration unit.

A mobile agricultural machine includes a sensor capable of sensing a gaseous composition of an air flow impinging the sensor; an air filtering unit configured to remove particulate matter from the air flow; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive a sensing signal from the sensor, wherein the sensing signal is representative of the gaseous composition; and output an indication signal if the gaseous composition is indicative of an anomaly associated with an operation of the mobile agricultural machine.
