Publication number: 20230079372Abstract: This specification describes a membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) and processes for nitritation, nitritation-denitritation or deammonification. The supply of oxygen through the gas-transfer membrane is limited to suppress the growth of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Exhaust gas from an MABR unit may have an oxygen concentration of 4% or less. The process can optionally include one or more of: intermittent (batch) feed of process air; process air modulation; process air direction reversal; process air recycle; and, process air cascade flow. The process can optionally include adding a seed sludge containing anammox to a reactor, optionally after pre-treatment and selection. The process can optionally include pre-seeding an MABR media.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: JOHN DAVID IRELAND, ZEBO LONG, DANIEL COUTTS, DWIGHT CORNELIUS HOUWELING, JEFFREY GERARD PEETERS, MORENO DI POFI, SVEN BAUMGARTEN

Publication number: 20210253463Abstract: In a system and process described herein, wastewater such as pulp mill wastewater is treated with a membrane bioreactor (MBR) or another biological process coupled with tertiary filtration. An intermediate filtrate such as permeate from the membrane bioreactor is then treated with a tight ultrafiltration membrane optionally having a molecular weight cut-off of 500-4,500 Da on polyethylene glycol. Optionally, concentrate from the ultrafiltration membrane is sent to a black liquor evaporator of the pulp mill.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Sven BAUMGARTEN, Moreno DIPOFI, Pablo CANADA GARCIA

Patent number: 10633777Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry-care appliance (100) having a washing tub (107) and a deodorizing module (109) for dispensing deodorizing substance into the washing tub (107), wherein the deodorizing module (109) is connected to the washing tub (107) and comprises a radial fan (115) for ventilating the washing tub (107), wherein the radial fan (115) is drivable in a first direction of rotation (121) and in a second direction of rotation (123). The deodorizing module (109) is configured to dispense deodorizing substance into the washing tub (107) in a first period of time, wherein the radial fan (115) is drivable in the first direction of rotation (121) in the first period of time in order to distribute the deodorizing substance in the washing tub (107). The radial fen (115) is drivable in the second direction of rotation (123) in a second period of time following the first period of time, in order to remove the deodorizing substance from the washing tub (107) in the second period of time.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Jörg Skrippek, Torsten Böttger, Sven Baumgarten, Ingo Schulze

Patent number: 9242453Abstract: A method for adjusting ink zone openings in an ink fountain of a printing press uses a computer. The computer calculates a deflection of the ink fountain on the basis of an ink fountain model which contains forces that act on the ink fountain, and takes the calculated deflection of the ink fountain into consideration during the adjustment of the ink zone openings.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINENInventors: Sven Baumgarten, Sebastian Krüger, Martin Mayer, Bernhard Roskosch, Rolf Spilger

Patent number: 7600535Abstract: A valve for switching over liquid paths, particularly for pressure exchanger installations with tubular pressure exchanger chambers (3) through which an alternating flow occurs, in which a rotatable control element (10, 10.1) having a plurality of flow paths is mounted in a housing (11), which in turn comprises a plurality of connection opening (12, 16, 17, 46) connected to a first pipe system and to an end of at least one pressure exchanger. Another end of the pressure exchanger is connected to a second pipe system through a valve. A motorized drive shaft (50) rotates the control element so as to alternately connect the control element flow paths to openings inside housing (11). Oncoming flow to the control element may come from an axial direction or from a radial direction, and outgoing flow from the control element occurs in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: KSB AktiengesellschaftInventors: Sven Baumgarten, Stephan Bross, Bernhard Brecht, Uwe Bruhns, Stefan Flak, Christoph Jaeger, Wolfgang Kochanowski, Wiltrud Knoebl, Mogens Ellegaard

Patent number: 7574957Abstract: A device for determining the wear of ink fountain films in an ink fountain has at least one ink metering element and a ductor in a printing press. The ink metering element can be moved in the direction of the ductor. A closed position of the ink metering element with an ink fountain film inserted can be determined, and that deviations from the closed position determined are registered by a sensor and the deviations registered can be supplied to a computer as a basis for determining the wear of the ink fountain film.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2006Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Sven Baumgarten, Martin Mayer, Bernhard Roskosch, Rolf Spilger
