Turbulence Control System
US Patent:
4780206, Oct 25, 1988
Filed:
Jan 16, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/003943
Inventors:
Harold J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Raleigh L. Cox - Baton Rouge LA
Gary J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Mark B. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Raleigh L. Cox - Baton Rouge LA
Gary J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Mark B. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
B01D 2108
US Classification:
210521
Abstract:
A turbulence control system is provided comprising a first baffle, fixedly connected across the interior of an intra-channel clarifier having side walls between the side walls near the point of entry of wastewater into the clarifier, the first baffle covering a desired portion of the cross-sectional flow area within the clairifier; and a second baffle, fixedly connected across the interior of the clarifier between the side walls downstream of the first baffle and covering a desired portion of the cross-sectional flow area left uncovered by the first baffle. The turbulence control system may also comprise at least one accumulation baffle, connected between the side walls and near the bottom of the clarifier, the accumulation baffle extending upward to a desired height within the clarifier, but not so high as to produce a flow velocity which would impede settlement of sludge within the clarifier. Another possible feature of the turbulence control system comprises at least one guide vane, fixedly attached to the clarifier beneath its bottom and running parallel to the length of the clarifier. The turbulance control system may also comprise a pair of hinged wings mounted to the bow of the clarifier.
Denitrification System
US Patent:
5556538, Sep 17, 1996
Filed:
Nov 22, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/343715
Inventors:
Gary J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Harold J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
Harold J. Beard - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
C02F 330
US Classification:
210194
Abstract:
A denitrification apparatus, for use in a wastewater treatment system having a mixed liquor source, is disclosed. The apparatus has at least two non-aerated continuous channels, connected in series. Wastewater flows from the mixed liquor source into the series of channels and then flows back into the mixed liquor source. In a preferred embodiment the inlets and outlets for each channel are arranged so that the flow into the channel is into the lower portion of the channel, and the flow from the channel is from the upper portion.
Flow Adjusting Vane For Intra-Channel Clarifier
US Patent:
4950406, Aug 21, 1990
Filed:
Mar 10, 1989
Appl. No.:

United Industries, Inc. - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
B01D 2128
US Classification:
210521
Abstract:
Operation of an intra-channel clarifier within a circulating sewage stream can be enhanced by flow adjusting vanes positioned within the sewage stream between the clarifier and channel wall, proximate to the clarifier sludge ports. In a preferred embodiment, the vanes are aligned perpendicular to the flow of the stream, on a vertical axis. The vanes are divided into an independently adjustable upper and lower portion which can be used to direct the sewage flow and alter the cross sectional area of the sewage stream in the vicinity of the clarifier. The rate at which sludge is removed from the clarifier is affected by the velocity of the sewage stream beneath the sludge ports as well as any turbulence or eddy currents which are produced.
