The feed mixture, from which a required substance is to be isolated, is introduced centrally into a chamber unit rotating about its axis and having two non-miscible phases flowing through it in countercurrent. Monitors responding to the substance are disposed at the two ends of the chamber unit and continuously detect the concentration of the substance and signal the measurements to a control system. By way of various valves and pumps this system controls the flow ratio of the two phases in such...

Feed gas is directed tangentially along the non-skin surface of gas separation membrane modules comprising a cylindrical bundle of parallel contiguous hollow fibers supported to allow feed gas to flow from an inlet at one end of a cylindrical housing through the bores of the bundled fibers to an outlet at the other end while a component of the feed gas permeates through the fibers, each having the skin side on the outside, through a permeate outlet in the cylindrical casing.

A separating device for quick mutual separation of objects and vehicles, especially air and space vehicles, comprises attaching elements, attached to the vehicle and the object, respectively, and arranged to interact separably in holding together the vehicle and the object. According to the invention, such a separating device is characterized primarily in that the first attaching element (1) comprises a casing with an internal first cylindric portion (2). In it a first piston (3) is arranged mov...

An apparatus for separating of flowable and non-flowable constituents mixed with each other, particularly for the purpose of preparation of foodstuffs, operates with an elastic presser belt which is held pressed against the circumferential surface of a separating drum and which is guided between laterally bounding walls. For reducing the unavoidable leakage flow in the region of the radial sealing gap located between the perforated drum and the presser belt, the sealing gap is provided with a ra...

Apparatus (100) for separating components of a liquid mixture such as oil from water. The apparatus comprises a cyclonic device (110) and a separating device (150). The cyclonic device has a tangential inlet (112) for inlet of the mixture, an elongate chamber (114) in which, in use, the admitted mixture is subjected to contrifugal action and an outlet (116) from the components of the mixture are in use together taken. The separating device (150) may be a conventional cyclone separator having a s...

A separating drum, having a multiple of cylindrically shaped separating elements, which are arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum is provided with an arrangement by which a single part can be moved to form an adjustable separating slot. The separating drum includes separating elements which are firmly connected in pairs respectively by at least one carrier element, which is provided on one of the front faces of the separating elements. The carrier element can be rotated around th...

A method and device for the separation of substantially solid bodies from a liquid are disclosed in which an obliquely arranged screen grid is provided with an upper region, a lower region, and two opposite edge regions and is suppllied with liquid at the upper region to separate the solid bodies from the liquid in the form of screenings which travel along an upwards facing surface of the screen grid. A cleaning device rests against the upwards facing surface of the screen grid and moves the scr...

The invention relates to a support intended to receive a mineral membrane for separation procedures, and processes for the production thereof. The support is formed by a carbon-carbon composite material of small thickness, which is mechanically strong and which is of a porous texture suited to the mineral membrane. It is produced by adjusting the porous texture of a carbon-carbon material.

The invention relates to a separating conveyor for separating solid materials from liquids. According to the invention, above the conveying path (17) of the conveyor and essentially supported against the conveying path (17) there is arranged a grate (1) which at least at one end is connected to the conveyor by means of elastic members (2). In addition to this, the conveying path (17) is provided with members (6) in order to guide the grate and the solid materials.

A separating link and operator particularly adapted as a substitute for the fusible links employed in prior art closure control systems. A first embodiment of the separating link has two link sections whose joinder is controlled by a pull wire latch. One section is a cam link section having an integral ball cam. The second section is a socket link section formed with a socket for receiving the cam in mating relationship. A pair of locks couple the link sections together. The latching engagement ...
