  • Publication number: 20190160414
    Abstract: A dust collector diaphragm valve capable of performing manual emergency operation according to the present invention is configured to perform control so that the internal equal pressure of the diaphragm valve can be broken due to an internal pressure drop attributable to an instantaneous air discharge occurring whenever an emergency operation switch is manually pressed when a pulse operation signal or solenoid valve used to operate the diaphragm valve fails, and thus a rubber plate installed between the body and cover of the diaphragm valve can be turned (moved forward) after being instantaneously moved backward. Accordingly, dedusting work can be manually performed according to the determination of a manager, and thus the dust collector diaphragm valve can prevent an emergency shutdown during the operation of a dust collector and can also prevent a filter from reaching a limit differential pressure, thereby preventing the lifespan of the filter from being shortened.

During the initial phase, ammonium phosphate and sodium phosphate are added to the seawater or salt wastewater followed by an addition of ammonia and a water-based charged solvent. After separating the precipitated solids, the cleaned seawater or salt wastewater is aerated and filtered to produce potable or otherwise usable water.

    Abstract: A feed of at least one of (a) a source liquid including a solvent with a dissolved impurity and (b) a retentate of the source liquid is pumped in a substantially closed loop through a liquid-separation module. The liquid-separation module includes a membrane that passes at least partially purified solvent to a permeate side of the membrane while diverting the impurity in a retentate on the retentate side of the membrane. The purified solvent is extracted from the permeate side of the membrane; and the retentate from the liquid-separation module is pumped to or through a pressurized reservoir with a variable volume for the feed component and recirculated as a component of the feed. Over time, the volume for the feed is reduced and the pressure applied to the feed in the reservoir is increased to balance against an increasing difference in osmotic pressure across the membrane.

    Abstract: A device, system, and method for separating, concentrating, and isolating target particles from a bioliquid sample includes a sample reservoir, a first filtration membrane, a second filtration membrane, a first chamber, and a second chamber. The first chamber with first outlet is connected to the sample reservoir through the first filtration membrane. The second chamber with second outlet is connected to the sample reservoir through the second filtration membrane. Negative pressures are applied alternately to the two filtration membranes to isolate target particles, clogging of the membranes being prevented by the same alternating but opposite-phase positive pressures.

    Abstract: An isolation device of target particles from a liquid sample includes an isolation chip, a vacuum unit, and a frequency converting unit. The isolation chip includes a sample reservoir, a first chamber, and a second chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber define a first outlet and a second outlet, respectively. The vacuum unit is connected to the first outlet and the second outlet. The frequency converting unit causes the vacuum unit to generate negative pressures in the first chamber and the second chamber alternately.
