Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the delivery rate of a pump. In this context, a value of the delivery level and a value of the power of the pump are determined. A probability density function is calculated for the delivery level and the power. A first probability density function of the delivery rate is calculated on the basis of a delivery level-delivery rate relationship and the probability density function of the delivery level. A second probability density function of the delivery rate is determined on the basis of a power-delivery rate relationship and the probability density function of the power. A combined probability density function of the delivery rate is determined on the basis of the first and second probability density functions. The delivery rate is determined on the basis of the combined probability density function.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating a liquid. A feed stream is separated into a permeate stream and a retentate stream by means of a member arrangement. At least a portion of the retentate stream is discharged from the member arrangement via a displacer arrangement as a defined displacer volume. The feed stream is divided into a portion that is fed into the membrane arrangement via a displacer arrangement as a defined displacer volume and into a portion that is fed to the membrane arrangement by means of a conveying unit. The yield is varied by changing the ratio of the speed of the conveying unit to the speed of the displacer arrangement.

Abstract

A wastewater lifting station is provided, in which at least one solids collection tank contains at least one screen for guiding wastewater therethrough and retain solids. The screen divides the solids collection tank into a region containing solids and a region free of solids, and is connected in a pivotable manner by at least one hinge to a flange of the solids collection tank. The screen in an edge region away from the hinge has a rake of comb-type webs and holes that are open on one side in the screen plane. The wastewater containing solids flows through a feed into the collection tank, is filtered through the screen, and the wastewater that is free of solids is collected in a tank downstream. When the wastewater lifting station pumps, the wastewater that is free of solids is pumped by a pump in counterflow through the screen into a pressurized line while the feed is shut off by a check valve, and the screen pivots about the hinge and is back-flushed during the process. Reliable cleaning of the screen, even of fibers, is achieved during pumping owing the rake shape and the pivoting of the screen.

Abstract

The invention relates to a wastewater lifting station, which has at least one solids collection tank (3), having at least one screen (6) for wastewater that is to be guided therethrough and contains solids, said screen being arranged in the interior of said tank. The screen (6) divides the solids collection tank (3) into a region containing solids (3a) and a region free of solids (3b). Moreover, the screen (6) is connected in a pivotable manner by means of at least one hinge (12) to a flange (10) of the solids collection tank (3). The screen (6) is formed in the edge region (6a) thereof away from the hinge as a rake having holes (13) that are open on one side in the screen plane. The wastewater containing solids flows through a feed (1) into the collection tank, is filtered through the screen (6), and the wastewater that is free of solids is collected in a tank downstream. When the wastewater lifting station pumps, the wastewater that is free of solids is pumped by a pump (5) in counterflow through the screen (6) into a pressurised line (18), the feed (1) being shut off by a check valve (2). The screen (6) is back-flushed in the process. Reliable cleaning of the screen (6), even of fibres, is achieved during pumping owing the rake shape of the screen (6).

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for determining the filling level of a liquid in a container (4). The apparatus comprises at least one element (1, 2) which transmits and/or receives acoustic signals. The acoustic signals propagate along a surface of a solid (3). The solid (3) is arranged in such a manner that at least one part of a surface of the solid (3) can be wetted by the liquid. The solid (3) has, at different container heights, regions (5) which reflect the acoustic signals.

Abstract

A displacement pump arrangement, method for operating the displacement pump arrangement and a control device for controlling the displacement pump arrangement provide rotational-speed-variable control of an expeller pump unit for feeding a fluid. The arrangement includes an expeller pump and a drive, the drive being composed of an electric drive motor and a frequency converter, and a control device. The control device controls a state value such as a final pressure of the expeller pump a setpoint value. The control device detects state values of a control variable are supplied by the drive, in particular relating to the position, rotational speed and torque of the drive motor, and adjusts the displacement pump output to reach the setpoint value without using sensors.
