  • Publication number: 20180093910
    Abstract: In a method of anaerobic treatment of an organic waste stream (1), a stream originating from an anaerobic reactor (5) is fed to a first separating unit (33) to be separated into a sludge fraction (7?) containing between 50% and 80% of the solids by weight and a second fraction (7). The second fraction (7) is fed from the first separating unit (33) into a Dissolved Gas Floatation (DGF) unit (16). The sludge fractions (7?) and (9) from the separator units (33) and (16) are fed back to an inlet 41 of the reactor 5.

  • Patent number: 7485223
    Abstract: The invention relates to a separator device for separating a first liquid substance from a second substance, the two substances forming a mixture. The apparatus comprises a vessel with an inlet for receiving the mixture, a first outlet for discharge of a first fraction of the mixture, a second outlet for discharge of a second fraction of the mixture and a flow element. The flow element comprises a number of parallel tubular channels defining a flow path for the mixture, the channels having an gilet end for receiving the mixture and an outlet end for discharge of the first fraction, a length direction of the channels being inclined with respect to a horizontal direction, wherein in a transverse cross section through the flow element, the channels form a two-dimensional array of closed cells, each cell defining a boundary of a flow channel, the cells being arranged in at least two rows, each cell in a first row contacting with its perimeter a cell in the second row.
