A separator system and method may provide a four-way separator that may separate a material and remove a hazardous material. The hazardous material may include gas and sand that may be removed by the four-way separator. The separator system and method may further provide a main unit that may include three chambers or recirculation hoppers, an auger sand extractor, and a strap tank. The separator system and method may provide a faster rig-up time and may be exclusively driven by hydraulics.

A lift station maintenance device having as its essential features, a circular housing constructed from bars, interleaving self-centering augers for lifting flushable wipes through the system, spring snap options for retaining the bar in slots in top and base plates, and capability to remove large flushable wipes or equivalent materials from liquid sewage systems without clogging. Also disclosed is a lift station maintenance system.

A system for separating solids from a fluid includes a containment vessel having a V-shaped tank in fluid communication with an agitated overflow tank. Baffles within the V-shaped tank provide a series of zones where the fluid is deposited for processing. A shaftless auger at the bottom of the V-shaped tank transfers solids to an area where they are pumped to a first hydrocyclone assembly associated with a first shaker. Overflow from the hydrocyclone assembly and underflow from the first shaker is further processed by a second hydrocyclone assembly associated with a second shaker. Overflow from the second hydrocyclone assembly and underflow from the second shaker are deposited into overflow tank which contains the cleaned fluid.

A method for extracting herbal medicine includes: step one, spray extraction; step two, pressure filtration and concentration; step three, spray and countercurrent precipitation; and step four, concentrating reduced pressure and drying.

The invention relates to a method for clarification of raw green liquor in a sedimentation tank. According to the invention is a part of dregs separated in the sedimentation tank recirculated back into the inflow of raw green liquor, and preferably after passing the dregs through at least one turbulence generator (30, 31) that could break up larger dregs particles into smaller dregs particles, and thus create larger total surface on the dregs particles, improving sedimentation rate in the sedimentation tank. In a preferred embodiment is the recirculated dregs added into the flow of raw green liquor before a flocculant is added into the flow of raw green liquor and mixed recirculated dregs.

A system for treating liquids and solutions for separating components thereof, the system including a treatment vessel having a treatment chamber therein, a device for generating a gas-infused liquid under elevated pressure, and a device for stabilizing the gas-infused liquid such that most of the gas infused into the liquid by the device for generating a gas-infused liquid will remain in the liquid if pressure of the liquid is reduced to atmospheric pressure, and for flowing the stabilized gas-infused liquid into the treatment chamber so as to form a liquid layer including the stabilized, gas-infused liquid in the treatment chamber. The treatment vessel includes a discharge port through which some of the stabilized, gas-infused liquid in the liquid layer may be discharged from the treatment vessel, the withdrawn liquid is infused with an additional amount of the gas, again stabilized, and again flown the liquid into the treatment chamber.

A separator system and method may provide a four-way separator that may separate a material and remove a hazardous material. The hazardous material may include gas and sand that may be removed by the four-way separator. The separator system and method may further provide a main unit that may include three chambers or recirculation hoppers, an auger sand extractor, and a strap tank. The separator system and method may provide a faster rig-up time and may be exclusively driven by hydraulics.

A device for high pressure spray and counter-current precipitation extraction of herbal medicine is disclosed. A method for extracting herbal medicine using the device is also disclosed.

A system for separating solids from a first slurry mixture recovered from a hydrocarbon well. The system includes a V-shaped tank and one or more second mixing tanks for accumulating a slurry of fine particles from an overflow from the V-shaped tank. A shaftless auger moves solids to a conduit fluidly connected to hydrocyclones. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is mixed with the first flurry coming from a rig flow line and is discharged over a target plate and bar screen. Air is released from the mixture through one or more perforated baffles. Solids fall from the bar screen onto a shaker, which dewaters these solids as well as solids from an underflow from the hydrocyclones.

A clarifier having a suction-type sludge recovery system is provided with at least one trough extending across the top of the tank and partially submerged in the liquid and a plurality of suction pipes extending from the bottom of the tank to openings in the bottom of the trough. A flow control assembly associated with each of the suction pipes includes a bracket attached to the top of the trough, a damper plate slidable relative to the openings in the trough and a control arm, which is connected to the damper plate and supported by the bracket, for adjusting the orientation of the damper plate, and therefore the flow rate of sludge into the trough. The flow control assembly is offset from the central axis of the suction pipe, so that when the damper plate is open, the suction pipes can be rodded out to disperse clogs.
