Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of filtering a feed and waste water treatment system using the filtration method. The method utilizes a filtration cake for the filtration, which filtration cake is formed by elements contained in a liquid having a different composition than the feed to the filtered. The invention relates in particular to a method for filtering a liquid containing solid particles of different sizes which utilizes a filtration cake formed at least partly and preferably only from particles contained in said liquid containing solid particles of different sizes. The particles of the filtration cake are deposited on a filtration cake support and the method involves separation of the liquid containing solid particles of different sizes into two fractions: one fraction containing solid particles above a certain size and one containing smaller particles, and filtering the fraction containing smaller particles through the filtration cake.

Abstract: The present invention relates to filtration of liquids, such as water, containing substances that desirably should be removed from the liquids. The invention relates in particular to a filtration cake, being produced in situ of a cleaning system from substances that desirably should be filtered away. Particular preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to treatment of waste water, where an activated sludge is provided, which sludge contains activated sludge flocs.

Abstract: An axial flow impeller includes a hub, at least three base blades, and a cover blade detachably mounted to each base blade. When the impeller is applied in a medium environment having a high density and viscosity, the impeller will meet the requirement only by virtue of the base blade with the cover blade being removed. When the impeller is applied in a medium environment having low density and viscosity, the cover blade can be mounted in the front and/or rear of the base blade in order to improve the efficiency of the impeller. In this case, the consumption of electrical power can be reduced significantly while producing an equivalent propulsive force, thereby being advantageous for energy conservation. Therefore, the impeller can be adaptable to different medium environments and efficiency requirements, and thus can have good adaptability, need minimal investment cost and can be convenient to use.
