ECOMACCHINE S.p.A.
| Application | Evacuation of floating material or sludge |
| Characteristics | A telescopic adjustable tube is fitted into a lower pipe. |
| Operation | The liquid flows into the lower part and flows out through the telescopic tube thanks to the head effect. The higher is the head, the larger is the flow rate. |
| Material | The tube is made of stainless steel |
| Tube Diameter | From 80 to 600 mm. |
| Optional | Motorized control |
Per quotare una valvola telescopica occorre conoscere i seguenti dati:
| 1.1 | Flow rate to be evacuated | : m3/h | |
| 1.2 | Stroke of the tube | : mm. | |
| 1.3 | Pipe diameter (if already sized) | : DN o mm. | |
| 1.4 | Pipe materialo | ||
| 1.5 | Drive handwheel requested position |
Moreover you should specify:
• whether the telescopic valve shall be motorized
• if an emergency by-pass valve (quick opening type) will be installed at the plant
| Application | Cleaning of the clarifiers circular ditches. |
| Characteristics | This accessory mainly consists of a motorized rotary brush and a lifting-adjustment unit. |
| Operation | The brush is placed adherent to a side of the ditch and is started. |
| Material | Galvanized or stainless steel. |
To be able to make a quotation for a cleaning brush we need a drawing of the machine and ditch to clean, with the following data:
| 1.1 | Ditch width | : m. | |
| 1.2 | Ditch height | : m. | |
| 1.3 | Position to fix the rotary brush group | : m. |
| Application | Lifting of liquids even when containing a considerable amount of solid material. |
| Characteristics | The equipment is made of a lifting pipe, a lower suction unit and a top drain unit. |
| Material | Galvanized or stainless steel |
The following technical data are required to make a quotation:
| 1.1 | Required capacity | : m3/h | |
| 1.2 | Water level | : m. | |
| 1.3 | ain height, above the water level | : m. |
There is a lower head consisting of a central pipe and external chamber for the air distribution. A series of calibrated holes homogeneously diffuse the air inside the lifting pipe. The upper head is made of a tank with cover which receives the water and air coming from the tank bottom. The aim of the upper head is the separation of air from water which is discharged through the top.
| Application | Evacuation of the floating material. |
| Characteristics | The equipment is made of a rotary slotted pipe and a regulation unit. |
| Material | Galvanized or stainless steel |
| Optional | Motorized control |
By turning the control handwheel in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, a bronze nut screw on which a screw is engaged rotates too.
The screw moves, upwards or downwards, together with a rack which is integral to the screw.
The rack is engaged on a crown wheel which makes the oil skimmer pipe rotate.
The scraper bridge is finishing his return run with the skimming blade down and conveys the floating material towards the oil skimmer.
When the skimming blade gets next to the oil skimmer, the pipe is rotated till the longitudinal slots are partially submerged and the floating material flows out.
This operation can be repeated after a certain number of operation cycles or the oil skimmer pipe position can be adjusted to achieve a constant minimum, but sufficient, evacuation of the floating material.
This gives rise to a surface calling effect which, also increased by the skimming blade approach, collects the floating material and conveys it out.
The following data are required to make a quotation:
| 1.1 | Tank width | : m3/h | |
| 1.2 | Pipe diameter | : m. | |
| 1.3 | Material |
Moreover you should specify whether the oil skimmer pipe shall be manual or motorized.
| Application | Flocculation of aqueous suspensions. |
| Characteristics | The equipment consists of a vertical shaft with gate-mounted blades. |
| Material | Galvanized or stainless steel. Blades in pitch pine. |
We wrote about the theory of sedimentation in the section of the “Scraper Bridges for Sedimentation Tanks“ and “Clariflocculators”.
In the Sedimentation with Flocculation the particles do not keep their individuality, but tend to agglomerate helped by some coagulants.
The sludge floc size increases and, as a consequence, the sedimentation speed increases too.
A complete process of clarification mainly consists of three subsequent stages:
The waste water mixing with the reagents must be made very quickly and with a strong stirring.
On the contrary, the flocculation must be slow in order to allow the flocs agglomeration.
The following data are required to make a quotation:
| 1.1 | Volume of the tank | : m3 | |
| 1.2 | Gradient of velocity to be achieved | : sec-1 | |
| 1.3 | Width of the tank | : m | |
| 1.4 | Height of the tank | : m | |
| 1.5 | Free edge | : m | |
| 1.6 | Kinematic viscosity of the liquid | : centispokes |
Normally the gradient of velocity is between 20 and 40 sec-1 while the kinematic viscosity of the water is 1 cst.
La viscosità cinematica dell’acqua è 1 cst
The time range to achieve a good flocculation is between 12 and 20 minutes.
