The present disclosure relates to a separation device to separate contaminants from contaminated water. It comprises a container to receive the contaminated water. The container further comprises a contaminated water inlet, a filter, a presser for compressing and/or dewatering contaminants separated from the contaminated water, and a contaminant outlet. The container further comprises a gas inlet for generating gas bubbles into the contaminated water to further separate contaminants from the contaminated water. The present disclosure relates to a use of such a separation device and a method of separating contaminants from contaminated water.

The invention relates to an apparatus (1, 1) for filtering a fluid, in particular a Bernoulli filtering apparatus (1, 1), comprising: a housing (3, 3), a plurality of filter elements (55), arranged in the housing (3, 3), for filtering the fluid, an inlet (5) for admitting fluid to be filtered into the housing (3, 3), and an outlet (7) for discharging the filtered fluid from the housing (3, 3). The invention solves the stated problem by providing the housing (3, 3) with a plurality of housing segments (23) which can be connected to adjacent housing segments (23), and by a filter element (55) being arranged at least partially inside each housing segment (23), and by the housing segments (23) and filter elements (55) together forming a modularly assembled filter module (9). The invention also relates to apparatuses of the kind initially specified which further comprise: at least one housing cover (25) for closing the housing, at least one filter cleaning mechanism (11) for cleaning the filter element (55) of residues from the filtered fluid, and at least one backflushing system (13, 13) in fluid communication with the filter element (55), for conducting and discharging the residues from the filtered fluid. The invention solves the stated problem by the filter cleaning mechanism (11) being associated with the housing cover (25) and in particular being fixed thereto, and by the backflushing system (13, 13) being associated with the housing (3, 3), in particular with housing segments (23).

A self-cleaning filter apparatus includes a filter unit and a plunger unit. The filter unit includes a screen device; and a filter unit housing that houses the screen device. The plunger unit includes a rod end housing coupled to the filter unit housing; a plunger rod with a first plunger rod end positioned within the rod end housing and a second plunger rod end within the filter unit housing; and a plunger assembly secured to the second plunger rod end. During a first filter cleaning event segment, the plunger rod is configured to translate between a nominal position in which the plunger assembly is proximate the first screen device end and a cleaning position in which the plunger assembly is proximate the second screen device end. The plunger rod is configured to dislodge, at least in part, debris from within the screen device during at least the first filter cleaning event segment.

A filter apparatus and method for cleaning filter elements. The filter elements, each including a filter body with an external surface enclosing a filter passage, extend along a longitudinal axis of a vessel housing. A scraper element is disposed about the external surface of each filter body and travels along the longitudinal length of the filter body via a rotational screw to remove deposits. A lower air inlet is included on the vessel to loosen deposits on the filter surfaces, such as during or prior to scraping.

A device for pretreating refined cotton and a method of use thereof are provided. The device includes a body frame including a lower baseplate, four columns mounted on the upper surface of the lower baseplate, and an upper baseplate mounted at the top of the four columns, a first rotation shafts are fixed on the front and rear sides of a pretreatment drum, a lateral support is rotationally installed on the outer surface of the first rotation shaft; a power drive mechanism, a material-allocating mechanism and a reciprocating swing mechanism cooperate with a spraying mechanism, the stroke switch of the material-allocating mechanism cooperates with the power drive mechanism to achieve the forward and backward movement of the power drive mechanism, cooperates with the reciprocating swing mechanism to achieve the repeated swinging of the pretreatment drum, cooperates with the material-allocating mechanism to achieve the repeated fluctuation of the material.

An apparatus for separating out and removing screenings from wastewater includes a screening device having a screen surface through which the wastewater flows during operation of the screening device and screenings carried along in the wastewater are at least intermittently retained. The apparatus includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor monitors the screenings in the area upstream from the screen surface and/or in the area of the screen surface. The controller outputs a message when the screenings have one or several properties which have been defined and have been recognized by the sensor. In addition, a method for operating the apparatus and a system including the apparatus are provided.

A grid bar for a screen grid of a screen includes a multiple number of grid bars arranged next to each other and spaced apart from each other, which serves the purpose of separating screening material from a flowing liquid, such as wastewater flowing in a sewer channel. The grid bar includes a plastic reinforced with fibers, whereas at least a part of the fibers extend in a longitudinal direction of the grid bar. A screen includes such a screen grid.

A system and a method for removing solid buildup from a filter media is disclosed. A slurry is passed parallel across a cross-flow filter, the filter comprising a conductive filter media and the slurry comprising a carrier liquid and solids. A portion of the carrier liquid crosses through the filter media as a permeate while a thickened slurry continues parallel to the filter media. A blockage of at least a portion of the filter media is detected. The blockage comprises a portion of the solids. At least a portion of the filter media is heated to a melting temperature of the solids, such that a portion of the blockage melts, whereby the blockage is cleared.
