Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for continuously separating free-flowing substances of different densities from a suspension.
- the invention relates to a corresponding method.
- Such devices are usually designed as a so-called screw centrifuge, also known as a decanter, and are used, among other things, in the treatment of sewage sludge in sewage treatment plants.
- the devices include a part-cylindrical, part-conical, horizontally rotating drum enclosing a cavity and an auger disposed within the cavity.
- the drum speed determines the magnitude of the centrifugal acceleration in the device.
- a differential speed is set between the drum and the auger. This is necessary in order to discharge the solid particles contained in the suspension, which settle on the inner surface of the drum wall, via the conical part of the device.
- the liquid phase (centrate) obtained from the suspension in this way leaves the drum at the opposite end.
- the differential speed determines the speed or mass flow at which the solids are conveyed out of the device and thus the dwell time of the solids in the bowl. The longer the residence time, the lower the water content in the solid phase.
- the conveying torque of the screw conveyor is analogous to the solids filling in the bowl and is automatically adjusted in modern decanters via the differential speed. The minimum differential speed is replaced by a maximum permissible Delivery torque limited.
- the screw conveyor must discharge at least as much solids as are fed into the device, otherwise the excess proportion of solids will end up in the centrate.
- flocculation aids which are designed in particular as polymers, are added to the inflowing suspension.
- the flocculants exert an influence on the floc size and consequently on the settling speed and the settling behavior of the solids in the centrifugal field. If the settling rate is too low, the solids cannot settle on the wall within the short dwell time of the liquid phase in the device and are partially discharged with the centrate.
- flocculation aids influence the compaction of the solids on the bowl wall and thus also influence the torque of the screw conveyor and the dry matter content of the discharged solids.
- the complex optimization task when separating free-flowing substances of different densities is to achieve the highest possible dry matter content in the solid phase and the lowest possible dry matter content in the liquid phase at the same time economic use of flocculants during the entire dewatering process.
- the dwell time of the solids in the device is relatively large, the dry matter content of the exiting Feststof fphase the conditions in the device only with a significant time delay. In addition, no reliable, continuously working dry matter measurements are available for the solid phase. Due to its very short dwell time, the quality of the centrate is a suitable measurement variable for the optimal operation of the device.
- the discharged centrate often contains small air or gas bubbles, which can be attributed to the strong turbulence in the device and the often present surface-active ingredients in the flocculation aids.
- Conventional turbidity measurements recognize enclosed air bubbles as solid particles and therefore work unreliably without costly degassing of the centrate.
- the escaping centrate also has a strong tendency to form deposits on surfaces that come into contact with the medium.
- Magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) in particular causes great difficulties in municipal wastewater treatment.
- the substance tends to become encrusted and can clog entire pipe systems over time.
- the lenses of optical measuring systems that come into contact with the medium can become occupied within a very short time and must be cleaned with great effort in order to deliver reliably reproducible measuring results.
- DE 10 2015 105 988 B3 discloses a device in which a non-contact object sensor (photographic camera) is installed in the liquid outlet of the device.
- the purity of the centrate is regulated with the variable speed difference, delivery rate of the feed pump or delivery rate of the dosing pump for the flocculant with definable target values for the control variables gray values, color values, brightness values or contrasts.
- DE 10 2006 050 921 discloses a device in which the delivery rate of the dosing pump for the flocculant is regulated using a reflection measurement.
- DE 10 2010 047 046 A1 discloses a method that regulates the amount of flocculation aid using an optical device based on schlieren photographic effects in the centrate.
- the object of one embodiment of the present invention is to propose a device and a method for the continuous separation of free-flowing substances of different densities in a suspension, which allow the separation result obtained from this to be optimized and monitored.
- One embodiment of the invention relates to a device for continuously separating free-flowing substances of different densities from a suspension, comprising
- a drum which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, which can be rotated about the axis of rotation with a drum motor and which encloses a cavity
- a screw conveyor which is rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation and is at least partially arranged in the cavity, which screw conveyor can be rotated about the axis of rotation with a screw conveyor motor,
- An inlet pipe for feeding the suspension into the cavity wherein o the drum has an outlet for the removal of a centrate obtained from the suspension from the cavity, and o the outlet has a free jet section, in which the centrate forms a free jet, and a measuring device , with which the transmission and/or the reflection of the centrate in the free jet can be determined without contact.
- the quality of the centrate can be used as a measurement variable for the optimal operation of the device.
- the air bubbles enclosed in the centrate are not disadvantageous in the non-contact determination of transmission and/or reflection on the free beam, among other things because, as will be discussed in more detail later, the change in transmission and/or reflection during optimization and no relative absolute values are used .
- the device designed as a decanter can also be operated optimally when there is a change in the composition of the suspension, without the need for open-loop or closed-loop control based on absolute values.
- the outlet is divided into a first outlet section and a second outlet section, with the free jet section being arranged in the second outlet section.
- the arrangement of the free jet section in the second outlet section makes it possible to use a representative partial flow for determining the change in transmission and/or reflection.
- the volume flow can therefore be designed in such a way that the determination of the transmission and/or the reflection can be carried out optimally without the main volume flow of the centrate having to be adapted to the determination of the transmission and/or the reflection through the first outlet section.
- the throughput of the device therefore remains largely unchanged.
- the measuring device can have at least two light sources and at least one light receiver, or at least one light source and at least two light receivers. A transmitted light measurement to determine the transmission and/or an incident light measurement to determine the reflection can be carried out with simple means.
- the measuring device can have at least one signal generator, which emits an information signal when the change in the determined transmission and/or the determined reflection exceeds or falls below a specific value. It is not absolutely necessary for the device to be operated fully automatically. In not a few cases, the device is monitored by a team of employees of the device operator, which changes certain operating parameters depending on the current state of the device. The possibility of giving a notification signal to the team of employees when the change in the determined transmission and/or the determined reflection exceeds or falls below a certain value supports the team in taking appropriate countermeasures in good time to ensure that the device is optimal or close to the To be able to operate optimally and thus economically.
- the measuring device can interact with a control unit with which the drum motor and/or the auger motor can be controlled as a function of the change in the specific transmission and/or the specific reflection.
- Optimization algorithms can be stored on the control unit, so that the device automatically operates optimally or close to the optimum and so that it can be operated economically.
- the differential speed can be optimally adjusted.
- control unit is not to be understood in such a way that the algorithms carry out a control of the device. Rather, an optimization is carried out.
- a dosing pump for delivering a flocculation aid includes fffens in the cavity, wherein
- the feed pump and/or the dosing pump can be controlled with the control unit as a function of the specific transmission and/or the specific reflection.
- the quantity of flocculant can also be optimized in order to avoid underdosing or overdosing.
- underdosing the suspension is not completely separated, so that the centrate has an increased solids content.
- overdose part of the flocculant remains unused and is discharged via the centrate.
- Corresponding algorithms can also be stored on the control unit for this purpose, so that the device can also be operated automatically at or near the optimum with regard to the amount of flocculant aid.
- the method comprises the following steps:
- the differential speed plays an important role in the optimal and economical operation of the device. According to this embodiment of the method, automated operation of the device at or near the optimum is possible.
- the amount of flocculation aid also plays an important role in the optimal and economical operation of the device. According to this embodiment of the method, automated operation of the device at or near the optimum is possible. In particular, overdosing or underdosing of the flocculant can be avoided.
- the method includes the following steps:
- the process includes at least one of the following steps:
- the transmission measured on the free jet of the centrate rises to a relative maximum due to the falling solids content.
- the centrate has the relatively lowest solids content. If more flocculant is added, the transmission drops again.
- the renewed drop in transmission T is on a Clouding of the centrate due to excess flocculant and the increased formation of bubbles in the centrate when the flocculant is overdosed due to surface-active substances in the flocculant, particularly in the case of polymers.
- the amount of flocculant that is added in the relative maximum represents the most economical amount of flocculant with the minimum achievable solids content in the centrate.
- the reflection measured on the free jet of the centrate shows a monotonously increasing curve as a function of the amount of flocculant.
- the reflection increases up to the optimum amount of flocculant, since the free jet of the centrate becomes brighter and brighter due to the decreasing solids content. Above the optimum amount of flocculant, the reflection continues to increase. This is due to the increasingly milky white coloring of the centrate due to excess flocculant and the associated increased formation of bubbles and the reflection of light on these bubbles.
- a drop in transmission means either an increase in the solids content of the centrate or an increase in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- An increase in transmission means either a drop in the solids content of the centrate or a drop in the overdosage of the flocculant.
- a decrease in reflection means either an increase in the solids content of the centrate or a decrease in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- An increase in reflection means either a decrease in the solids content of the centrate or an increase in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- the method comprises the following steps:
- a minimization of the differential speed increases the economic efficiency of the operation of the device.
- the dwell time of the solids in the cavity and the conveying torque of the screw conveyor increase, and the water content of the solid phase decreases as a result.
- the development of the process minimizes the differential speed, taking into account the boundary conditions of the solids content of the centrate and/or the maximum permissible conveying torque.
- the differential speed and the quantity of flocculant represent two essential parameters for the optimal operation of the device.
- the optimal operating condition be found for the device, at least for these two parameters, but the device can very quickly be brought back into the optimal operating condition in the event of changes, particularly in the composition of the suspension.
- the optimum operating status can therefore be continuously monitored. Deviations from the optimal operating status can be recognized and corrected promptly. If both parameters are optimized, the amount of flocculant is optimized before the differential speed is optimized.

- the apparatus 10 includes a barrel 12 having a cylindrical portion 14 and a frusto-conical portion 16 , the barrel 12 enclosing a cavity 18 .
- the drum 12 is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation D in a manner that is not shown in detail.
- the device 10 comprises a drum motor 20 which is arranged outside of the cavity 18 and which interacts with the drum 12 in a manner that is not shown in detail.
- a conveyor screw 22 is arranged in the cavity 18 and is likewise mounted so as to be rotatable about the axis of rotation D in a manner that is not shown in detail.
- the drum 12 and the auger 22 are therefore arranged coaxially.
- the screw conveyor 22 can be rotated about the axis of rotation D with a screw conveyor motor 24, the manner in which the screw conveyor motor 24 interacts with the screw conveyor 22 is also not shown in detail here.
- the auger motor 24 is located outside of the cavity 18 .
- the device 10 also has an inlet pipe 26 with which the suspension can be introduced into the cavity 18 . Furthermore, the device 10 comprises an outlet 28 for a centrate obtained from the substrate and an outlet nozzle 30 for a solid obtained from the substrate. While the outlet 28 is arranged in the region of the cylindrical section 14 of the drum 12 , the outlet nozzle 30 is associated with the frustoconical section 16 of the drum 12 .
- the outlet 28 is divided outside of the cavity 18 into a first outlet section 32 and a second outlet section 34 . While the majority of the centrate drains through the first outlet section 32, a representative one flows Partial flow of the centrate through the second outlet section 34 .
- the second outlet section 34 has a free jet section 36 in which the centrate forms a free jet FS. In the free-jet section 36, the second outlet section 34 has no surfaces that come into contact with the centrate. Downstream of the free jet section 36, the second outlet section 34 comprises, for example, a funnel 38 with which the centrate can be collected and returned to the first outlet section 32 or removed in some other way (not shown).
- the measuring device 40 has either a first light source 421 and a second light source 422 and a light receiver 44 (FIG. 1B), for example a photodiode, or a light source 42 and a first light receiver 441 and a second light receiver 442 (see FIG. 1C).
- the beam path of the light is shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C.
- the device 10 comprises a feed pump 46 .
- the device 10 is equipped with a dosing pump 48 with which a flocculation aid, for example a polymer, can be introduced into the cavity 18 .
- the device 10 includes a control unit 50 which processes the data generated by the measuring device 40 .
- the control unit 50 is connected to a signal transmitter 52, which can generate an information signal, for example in optical or acoustic form.
- the control unit 50 is also connected to the drum motor 20 , the auger motor 24 , the feed pump 46 and the metering pump 48 .
- control unit 50 can cause the signal transmitter 52 to generate an information signal.
- control unit 50 can control the drum motor 20 and the auger motor 24 in such a way that a first speed of the drum 12 or a second speed of the auger 22 is changed.
- control unit 50 can control the feed pump 46 and the dosing pump 48 in such a way that the amount of flocculation aid DP and/or the amount of suspension DS and consequently the concentration of the flocculation aid in the cavity 18 is changed.
- the apparatus 10 is operated in the following manner:
- the suspension is continuously pumped into the cavity 18 of the drum 12 by means of the feed pump 46 .
- the drum 12 rotates at the first speed, while the conveyor screw 22 rotates at the second speed.
- the first speed determines the size of the suspension acting centrifugal acceleration.
- the second speed is not equal to the first speed, so that a differential speed DD results from the first speed and the second speed. Due to the different densities of the substances contained in the suspension, the solids settle on the inner surface of the drum wall, while the liquid centrate collects radially inside the solids towards the axis of rotation D due to the lower density. As a result, solid-liquid separation is effected.
- the solids are conveyed with the screw conveyor 22 to the outlet nozzle 30 and removed from the drum 12 there.
- the centrate is removed from the drum 12 via the outlet 28 .
- the differential speed DD determines the speed at which the solids are conveyed out of the drum 12 and thus the dwell time of the solids in the drum 12. The longer the dwell time, the lower the water content in the solid phase.
- the conveying torque DM of the screw conveyor 22 is analogous to the solid filling of the drum 12 and can be automatically adjusted with the differential speed DD.
- the minimum differential speed DD is limited by a maximum permissible delivery torque DM max .
- the screw conveyor 22 must remove at least as much solids from the drum 12 as are fed into the drum 12, otherwise the excess portion of the solids will end up in the centrate.
- Effective solid-liquid separation is often only possible if flocculants are added to the suspension.
- the flocculants have an influence on the floc size and thus on the settling speed and the settling behavior of the solids in the centrifugal field. Is the Settling speed is too low, the solids cannot settle on the inner surface of the drum wall within the short dwell time of the liquid phase in the drum 12 and are partially discharged with the centrate.
- the flocculation aids influence the compaction of the solids on the drum wall and thus also influence the torque of the screw conveyor 22 and the dry matter content of the solids discharged.
- the flocculant is added with the dosing pump 48 .
- the parameters differential speed DD and amount of flocculant DP must be set in such a way that the highest possible dry matter content in the solid phase and the lowest possible dry matter content in the liquid phase with simultaneous economical use of the flocculant during the entire, continuously carried out solid-liquid separation is achieved.
- the transmission T and the reflection R determined by the measuring device 40 on the free beam FS of the centrate are evaluated in the following way:
- the transmission T of the centrate is plotted as a function of the amount of flocculant DP.
- the transmission T increases due to the falling solids content up to a relative maximum T max .
- the centrate has the relatively lowest solids content. If more flocculant is added, the transmission T drops again.
- the renewed drop in transmission T is due to clouding of the centrate due to excess flocculant and that which occurs increasingly when the flocculant is overdosed Bubble formation in the centrate due to surface-active substances in the flocculation aids, especially in polymers.
- the amount of flocculant DP that is added at T max represents the most economical amount of flocculant DP opt with the minimum achievable solids content in the centrate.
- a decrease in the transmission T means either an increase in the solids content or an increase in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- An increase in the transmission T means either a drop in the solids content or a drop in the overdosage of flocculant.
- the reflection R at the free jet FS of the centrate is plotted schematically as a function of the amount of flocculation aid DP.
- the reflection R measured on the free jet FS of the filtrate shows a monotonically increasing curve as a function of the amount of flocculant DP.
- the reflection R increases up to the optimal amount of flocculant DP opt , since the free jet FS of the centrate becomes brighter and lighter due to the decreasing solids content. Above the optimum amount of flocculant DP opt , the reflection R continues to increase at . This is due to the increasingly milky white coloring of the centrate due to excess flocculant and the associated increased formation of bubbles and the reflection R of the light on these bubbles.
- a decrease in the reflection R means either an increase in the solids content or a decrease in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- An increase in the reflection R means either a decrease in the solids content or an increase in the overdosing of the flocculant.
- the device 10 is operated with a constant amount of flocculation aid DP and a constant volume flow of suspension and the composition of the incoming substrate changes over time t and thus the amount of flocculation aid DP required to operate the device 10 optimally can result from a resulting change the transmission T and the reflection R the cause of the change can be clearly determined: a) If the transmission T and the reflection R increase over time t, the concentration of solids in the centrate decreases (FIG. 3A). In other words, the underdosing of the flocculant decreases. b) If the transmission T and the reflection R decrease over time t, the concentration of solids in the centrate increases (FIG. 3B).
- the evaluation of a transmission and reflection measurement on the representative free jet FS is not only suitable for finding the currently optimal amount of flocculant DP opt , but also suitable for tracking the optimal amount of flocculant DP opt during ongoing operation when the composition of the substrate changes.
- the optimum amount of flocculant DP opt is preferably found on the basis of relative changes in the recorded measured values and is therefore independent of arbitrarily specified absolute target values, as would be necessary for regulation.
- a second step of the process based on a set starting differential speed and the optimized flocculant quantity DP opt found in the first step, the minimum possible and therefore optimal differential speed DD opt is sought and set, with the boundary conditions: a) the solid f content in the centrate does not increase or increases only within predeterminable tolerances (FIG. 4A) and/or b) the maximum permissible conveying torque DM max of the conveyor screw 22 is not exceeded (FIG. 4B).
- the two optimization steps can be carried out using heuristic optimization methods.
- the optimization methods are terminated using suitable termination criteria.
- an information signal can be generated in the case of underdosing if changes occur according to FIG. 3B and predeterminable tolerance limits are exceeded or not reached.
- an information signal for an overdosing can be generated if there are changes according to FIG. 30 and predeterminable tolerance limits are exceeded or not reached.
- the operating parameters flocculation aid amount DP and/or differential speed DD can be corrected. If there are changes according to FIG. 3B, they become predeterminable tolerance limits fallen below, the amount of flocculant DP and/or the differential speed DD are increased until the measured values are above the tolerance limit again. Then the process for optimizing the amount of flocculant aid DP and/or the differential speed DD is initiated. If changes occur according to FIG. 3C and predeterminable tolerance limits are exceeded or not reached, the amount of flocculant DP is reduced in a first step and an optimum amount of flocculant DP opt is sought and set. The optimization process is aborted if the measured values continue to exceed or fall below the tolerance limits within a definable time t.
