Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved apparatus for filtration.
- the central collection screen of this unit has no media support material, which means that the inner collection screen must also have a very fine screen gap size, one example of which would be a wedge wire screen.
- the fluxrate volumetric flowrate of raw water per unit area
- the Reynolds number increases dramatically compared to its number at the outer diameter of the media bed. This can create large pressure drops and force fine suspended solids to migrate through the bed, particularly whilst the bed is in wash mode whilst on line.
- a radial or crossflow filter comprising a housing containing filter media, a contaminated flow inlet and a discharge outlet, the contaminated flow inlet comprising a manifold situated within the housing, the manifold having a flow outlet which directs flow laterally, away from the discharge outlet.
- the flow outlet is directed towards a sidewall of the housing.
- the manifold is provided with a plurality of flow outlets.
- the housing is a vessel, such as a pressure vessel or tank.
- the flow inlet comprises a substantially vertically aligned elongate manifold with a plurality of flow distribution outlets disposed along its length.
- a discharge chamber is provided within the housing which is upstream of the discharge outlet and which contains a second filter media which is of a larger average particle size than the rest of the filter media in the housing.
- the discharge chamber surrounds the discharge outlet.
- the discharge chamber is formed from a filter screen. Most preferably the filter screen tapers inwardly towards a bottom of the housing.
- a radial or crossflow media filter that has a combined inlet and distribution system for raw water to be treated.
- the distribution system can be made up of a series of cylindrical and torroidal shaped piping which has an array of distribution nozzles, slots or holes designed with an open area distribution such that they direct the flow outwardly and distribute it equally away from the discharge outlet.
- the flow is directed towards a sidewall of the housing so that it rebounds off the inside of the housing, thereby directing the resultant flow inwardly towards the centre in the case of a radial filter, or across from the inlet side to the outlet side in the case of a crossflow filter.
- the discharge outlet may be provided with a filter screen which defines the chamber containing the second filter media.
- the chamber may retain a media support bed made up of a larger particulate material than the particulate material used for filtering, in order to inhibit loss of such fine media to the clean water side or blockage of the clean water collection screens, which may comprise small slots or holes.
- a fluidising unit is provided to remove and wash media and replace it back into the housing, whilst the filter unit is on line.
- a second fluidising unit is provided to enable the washing of the media support bed and replacement of the bed without the need to enter the housing.
- filter media to be cleaned in a cyclonic or counterflow wash vessel passes through one of the following:-
- a tubular ultrasonic unit for example an induction coil or a microwave heating device.
- a heating unit for example an induction coil or a microwave heating device.
- a filter comprising a housing containing filter media, a contaminated flow inlet and a discharge outlet, the contaminated flow inlet comprising a substantially vertically aligned elongate manifold with a plurality of flow distribution outlets disposed along its length.
- a filter comprising a housing containing a first filter media, a contaminated flow inlet, a discharge outlet, and a discharge chamber within the housing which is upstream of the discharge outlet and which contains a second filter media which is of larger average particle size than the first filter media.
- the discharge chamber is formed from a filter screen.
- the filter screen tapers inwardly towards a bottom of the housing.
- An advantage of present invention is that, because the contaminated inlet flow is spread evenly through the filter bed, the contaminated inlet flow to be filtered only has to be pre-screened to remove the largest suspended particles. This might be particles of approximately one seventh of the inside diameter of the fluidising unit's slurry outlet pipe. For example, in the case where the inside diameter of the fluidising unit's slurry outlet pipe was 20mm, the largest permissible particle to enter the filter vessel should be equal to or less than 3mm.
- the fluidising unit internal diameter could be chosen to manage a given particle size in the contaminated flow inlet.
- a further advantage is that the contaminated flow inlet to the filter vessel or tank receives and distributes flow evenly over the complete surface area available for filtration of the granular media bed in any of the following modes; radial, downflow, crossflow and upflow, whilst being capable of receiving high concentrations of solids. Also, within the aforementioned limits of particle sizes, some of the granular media filter bed's media particles that may under certain conditions find their way into the raw water distribution system are prevented from flowing back into the raw water inlet.
- a further advantage is that a filter in accordance with the present invention does not require an infill of support media of pea gravel or concrete at its base in order to avoid stagnant zones which have the potential to sustain biological activity.
- very fine ceramic spheres with selected or forced Zeta potential are used as the filter media.
- This will enable the unit to achieve extremely high removal efficiencies of very fine particles.
- This has normally been a barrier in fine media filtration as it would require a coarse strainer for the removal of particles of approximately 80 microns and above (particularly for use in cleaning backwash water), upstream of a fine filter.
- the reason for this coarse straining would be to remove the large particles in an attempt to make use of the voidage of the filter media bed and to ensure that the solids holding capacity of the bed was not reduced by contamination with larger particles.
- two media types i.e.
- large particles above small particles could be employed, thus creating a large solids holding capacity in the upper large media (typically anthracite), and a smaller voidage on the lower smaller fine filter media (typically sand or garnet) in an attempt to create true depth filtration, i.e. penetration of contaminate particles throughout the filter bed as opposed to edge filtration on the top of the media.
- upper large media typically anthracite
- lower smaller fine filter media typically sand or garnet
- a conventional dual media filter is a very efficient system for fine filtration, but requires complex backwash sequences which encompass the use of large volumes of air typically via a roots blower, together with large volumes of wash water, typically pre- screened to 80 microns (in the case of potable water filtration it would be necessary to use fully treated potable water), and arranged such that it can be controlled for both low and high flowrates.
- Backwashing such a filter has always been limited to the upwards velocity which would cause the media itself to leave the vessel, which necessitates a slow wash for a long time.
- one method of filtration is the use of radial flow, together with downflow, to achieve the required filtration using small high density spherical media.
- this potential has been known for some time, its use has been limited, partially due to the lack of solids holding capacity when using very small media.
- Such a filter can replace a coarse strainer, fine media filter, and in some cases a polishing cartridge filter, with a single unit that will have a lower plot area, lower weight and potentially a lower capital cost, than the aforementioned three units.
- the diameter of the central collection screen can be increased, which lowers the fluxrates and Reynolds number as it approaches the centre of the media bed.
- the distribution of water to be filtered is controlled accurately, such that all areas of the filter bed receive as near as possible the same flow (flow sharing), thus avoiding channelling or flow taking the least line of resistance to the central collection screen.
- a further mechanical advantage is that the present invention excludes joints which are potential leak paths from the dirty water side to the clean water side, inside the housing (particularly where the housing is pressurised), ensuring therefore that no dirty water can leak to the clean water. Any such joints are preferably positioned on the outside of the vessel for maintenance reasons.
- Figure 1 is a plot of a typical suspended solids concentration as may be seen during a plankton bloom in seawater
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a radial media filter and shows the inward radial flow created by the distribution system towards a central clean water collection screen
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of a pressurised radial media filter
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of a cross flow media filter
- Figure 5 is a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of radial filter
- Figure 6 is a sectional view of a downflow atmospheric media filter
- Figure 7 is a sectional view of an upflow atmospheric media filter.
- a pressure vessel or tank 1 has an inlet means 2 for raw water to be treated which connects with a distribution ring 3.
- the distribution ring 3 has a plurality of flow distribution heads 4, to distribute a portion of the inlet flow upwards to the top of the vessel 1 , and a plurality of substantially vertical flow distribution tubes 5 which have distribution holes or slots 6 designed such that the flow of raw water is equally distributed and directed radially outwards against a wall of vessel 1, from where it reverses flow and travels radially inwardly towards a central collection screen 7.
- the filtered water passes out of vessel 1 through a clean water discharge outlet 8.
- a secondary central screen 10 is arranged outside and sealed to the central collection screen 7, to create an annulus and bottom chamber around screen 7, such that this annulus and bottom space can be filled with large media support material 11.
- a secondary fluidising unit 37 that has an outlet 38 which connects with a media wash line 18.
- a valve means 39 is provided for the isolation of the support media outlet 38 when not in use, and a further valve means 39a is provided for the isolation of the secondary fluidising unit 37 when it is not in use.
- valve means 40 is opened with valve means 33 closed in order to return the clean support media from media wash vessel 23 back to the media support screen annulus and chamber surrounding screen 7.
- valve means 41 is normally closed to ensure no cross contamination of media and the filter would normally be off-line.
- a by-pass line can be included between inlet 36 to fluidising unit 37 and slurry outlet 38. The by-pass line can be provided with a control valve to control flow to adjust the concentration of support media removed.
- a primary fluidising unit 12 is fed with raw or treated water under pressure, and flow is controlled via inlet 13 on vessel 1 such that it fluidises the filter media 9 and causes a discharge via outlet means 14 of the fluidising unit.
- the outlet means 14 passes through outlet means 15 of vessel 1 , into media wash line 18.
- Valve means 16 which is also connected to the treated or raw water inlet, which feeds fluidising unit 12, is used to control the concentration of the discharged media slurry to the desired relative density best suited to the media cleaning stage.
- An instrument 17 for detecting the pressure drop between the raw water inlet 2 and the clean water outlet 8 for use in detecting the degree of contamination within the media bed 9 is used as a control function to initiate the washing of the filter bed.
- an ultrasonic unit 19 may be used, if required, to impart to the slurry a cleaning action created by the use of high powered tubular ultrasonics devices.
- a heating means 20 such as a microwave generator or an induction coil, can be used to increase the temperature of the slurry passing through it to aid the cleaning process and where required adjust the viscosity of the liquid with a view to the combination or any part of 19 and 20 being used to regenerate, partially regenerate or surface scrub absorbent material, such as activated carbon.
- Chemical injection means 21 may be provided for the injection of a chemical such as a surfactant, detergent or enzyme, as may be required from time to time to assist in or accelerate media cleaning.
- Media wash vessel 22 which has selective inlet means 23 or 24 controlled by valve means 25 or 26, delivers the media to be washed to a cyclonic cleaning means 27 which has an outlet for waste water 28 which is controlled by a flow control valve 29.
- a tertiary fluidising unit 30 of the type described above, is fed by water under pressure by valve means 32 and discharges cleaned media by discharge line 3 and valve means 33 to return it by line 34 back to a media return inlet 35 in vessel 1.
- media to be cleaned can report to the top of media wash vessel 22 via inlet 24 which cleans the media by counter-current flow with valves 32 and 33 closed and valve 29 open.
- media 9 can be completely cleaned by removing and cleaning batch volumes of media until the media bed is turned over, either online whilst filtering, or offline as the case may be.
- Figure 4 shows another configuration of the filter which is made up of tank 42 which is generally of a circular or rectangular shape.
- a flow inlet 43 allows flow to fall into an inlet chamber 44 defined by screen 45 which distributes flow horizontally across a media filter bed 9 to be collected by a collection screen 46 which defines a chamber 47.
- the chamber 47 can contain support media 11 , and has a clean water outlet 47.
- Figure 5 shows a radial filter similar to that shown in Figure 2 with the following differences.
- the clean water collection screen 7, media support 11 and media support screen 10 are configured as shown in assembly 50 of Figure 5. All other features remain the same and the ability to clean the media support is retained, if required.
- the benefit of this conical clean water collection system is that, in the case of very fine media and high solids level in the raw water, this configuration will avoid media hangups, i.e. media not moving downwards, which will create a void at the base of the vessel, sometimes referred to as coning.
- a media wash cyclone 51 has its underflow coupled directly to return media to the top of the filter vessel 1 with its inlet from media close coupled to a jet pump 52 which is driven by raw water through line 53 and a booster pump 54.
- the unit also has the ability to discharge filtrate from the base of the vessel through the discharge nozzle 55, or from the top of the vessel through the discharge nozzle 56.
- Figure 6 is a downflow atmospheric media filter which has an air injector 57 upstream of the fluidising unit 12, in order to stabilise when required contaminated media which reports to a wash box 58 at the top of the filter vessel 1.
- the wash box 58 has a weir which is set below the normal water level which is constant in the upflow filter, which allows contaminants to float off into contaminant line 59.
- Figure 7 is an upflow atmospheric media filter which may or may not utilise an air injector 57 on the upstream side of the fluidising unit 12 to wash the media in the same way as described in the downflow atmospheric filter of Figure 6.
