  • Publication number: 20230103787
    Abstract: Screen intake assemblies and related methods of fabrication and operation that improve both operational performance and structural strength. The screen intake assembly can include one or more screen portions that run substantially and continually along the length of the screen assembly to provide increase fluid intake and uniform flow. The screen intake assembly can comprise a central manifold having an exterior manifold screen portion to provide additional filtering capacity. The screen intake assembly can be used alone or in combination with internal flow modifier structures to increase fluid intake and uniformity. Internal flow modifiers can include a perforated flow modifier pipe, an internal flow modifier pipe, and/or converging flow modifiers. The screen intake assembly can include cleaning systems that operate continuously or on demand.

  • Publication number: 20190336894
    Abstract: A screening device having screening panels which are oriented transversely to the flow direction of a stream of liquid and each have a screening surface and form a circulating continuous screening belt which can be immersed in the stream of liquid. The successive screening panels form a common screening surface in the sluice channel, wherein the circulatory motion of the continuous screening belt is kept substantially completely within a single plane. The pivot axes about which the screening panels are pivoted at return points of the continuous screening belt are perpendicular to the common screening surface. The screening surfaces of the screening panels have a plurality of recesses and/or elevations running adjacent to one another over the screening surface.

  • Patent number: 8092674
    Abstract: A traveling band screen machine (1) is proposed with a careful fish return. To this end, the screen panels (4) each have a fish lifting channel (26) in which fishes (28) in a liquid-filled collecting recess (27) are lifted out of the stream of liquid and then emptied in the upper guidance zone (21) of the endless screen band (6) in an emptying zone (29) of the screen band machine (1) into a catch collecting drain (30) by tilting the screen panel (4) and the collecting recess (27) before the screen panel (4) reaches the cleaning zone (14) with the spray nozzles (23), in which debris deposited from the sluice channel on the screen panel (4) is cleaned off into the debris collecting drain (24).

  • Patent number: 4758410
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cartridge to hold catalyst plates, which plates are spaced apart, thereby leaving open slot-shaped channels for the passage of fluids to be cleaned catalytically by the plates. The cartridge is shaped in a parallelepiped or an essentially cubic form. There are recesses which form mountings for the insertion of the catalyst plates on at least two sides facing one another. The recesses are groove-like, into which the edges of the catalyst plates fit. For the simplest possible and most solid fastening of the catalyst plates in the cartridge, the mountings comprise a metal wire mesh as the static element, which is coated with a coating containing vermiculite or a similar material which expands when heated. Zeolite may also be used as the coating material.
