  • Patent number: 4988948
    Abstract: A method for the automatic line calibration of an electrochemical sensor for measuring the concentration of a liquid phase dissolved electrochemical substance flowing into a pipe and is characterized by the following stages: upstream of the electrochemical sensor, a generator is placed on the pipe, the generator being suitable for delivering standard quantities of the substance; between the generator and the electrochemical sensor, a delay line (3) is placed on the flow with a given volume of this liquid. By way of the generator, successively injected into the liquid pipe are two bursts of known quantities of the electrochemical substance corresponding to the concentration C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 in the liquid flow. From the indications of the electrochemical sensor (4), the delay time introduced by the delay time is determined.

  • Patent number: 4820426
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the processing or treatment of fluids containing suspended particles and more particularly usable for the processing or treatment of gases and liquids contaminated by radioactive particles.The fluid to be treated undergoes a treatment cycle in the circuit. This cycle comprises a filtering stage performed in the filtering apparatus in order to extract part of the fluid in the purified state and a separating stage performed in the separating device for extracting part of the particles present in suspended form in the fluid. It is possible to commence the processing cycle either by the filtering stage, or by the separating stage. The particle-depleted fluid from the separating stage or the particle-enriched fluid from the filtering stage undergoes a further processing cycle after adding thereto fluid to be treated by means of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 4749312
    Abstract: A granular product to be dosed is introduced at the same time as a transfer liquid into a dosing chamber below a retaining grid, provided in the upper part thereof. The measurement of the pressure upstream of the dosing chamber makes it possible to detect the arrival of the product level with the grid and to stop the introduction thereof. An inverted U-shaped pipe forming a syphon then ensures the transfer of the dosed product into a tank, when the compressed air is injected into the dosing chamber above the grid.

  • Patent number: 4671667
    Abstract: A mobile mixing device for at least two products coming from storage containers in barrels equipped with internal kneading means, which can be rotated by a kneading head, via a disconnectable coupling, wherein the device comprises a fixed stand having two receptacles able to receive the barrels and a turret supported by the stand, so that it can rotate about a vertical axis, said turret having the storage containers, the kneading head, at least one tube connecting each of the storage containers to the kneading head and means for vertically displacing the latter an upper position permitting a rotation of the turret in order to bring the said head successively above each of the barrels placed in the receptacles of the stand and a lower position in which the kneading means of the corresponding barrel are connected to the kneading head by said coupling.
