Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a filter centrifuge according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing the method.
  • the level in the rotating drum decreases more or less quickly depending on the filtration properties. So that a certain height of the filter cake in the drum can be reached, one or more times suspension in the drum is refilled up to the maximum filling level, the level being monitored by means of a level controller.
  • a sensor can be used which can detect a change in the surface quality of the filter material in the drum, so that the time of immersion of the liquid surface in the filter cake can be determined. Such a sensor is disclosed for example in DE-OS 37 26 227.
  • the object of the invention is to minimize the individual cycle times despite fluctuations in the filtration conditions and to significantly increase the throughput of the filter centrifuge with a constant degree of washout and constant low final residual moisture.
  • the fill level in the rotating centrifuge drum is measured continuously or at time intervals with a measuring device and the time course of the fill level is registered.
  • the immersion points of the mother liquor or the washing liquid in the filter cake are determined. H. the times at which the liquid has been filtered off to such an extent that it begins to disappear in the filter cake. From the temporal change of the filling level and the immersion times, the optimal number of filling cycles, the optimal start of the washing cycle and the required spin drying time are concluded, so that a desired final residual moisture of the filter cake is achieved with a minimal total cycle time.
  • the filling, dehumidifying and washing processes in the filter centrifuge are controlled independently of fluctuations in the task, so that the throughput is maximized with a constant washout level and constant final residual moisture.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that all the fluctuations and imponderables that affect the filtration, washing and drying spin times are expressed in the rate at which the liquids decrease in height. These can be due to the suspension properties such as grain shape, average grain size (d-p50), shape and slope of the total curve of the grain size analysis, fine particles, feed concentration, liquid temperature, viscosity, interfacial tension etc. or they can also be due to the operating properties of the filter media or filter centrifuge.
  • suspension properties such as grain shape, average grain size (d-p50), shape and slope of the total curve of the grain size analysis, fine particles, feed concentration, liquid temperature, viscosity, interfacial tension etc.
  • Fluctuations from batch to batch can be compensated for by changing cycle times and incorrect batches whose solids discharge is too moist are avoided.
  • Required regeneration steps such as backing up the base layer, clearing out the base layer or regenerating filter medium are displayed and triggered automatically. In spite of a discontinuous driving style, a uniform product quality is achieved and downstream devices such as dryers etc. can be driven to their performance limits.
  • FIG. 1 The operations that take place successively in a discontinuous filter centrifuge are shown in FIG. 1. After several filter processes in which a filter cake with the desired thickness has been formed, the filter cake is washed with a washing liquid which is introduced into the drum and passes through the filter cake.
  • the filter cake is then dried in a dry spin cycle without adding any additional liquid.
  • This dry spin process can optionally be followed by a further drying process in which the filter cake z. B. can be removed by supplying hot air or the like. Liquid.
  • the dried filter cake is then removed from the centrifuge drum, for example by means of a peeling knife arranged in the centrifuge drum.
  • the centrifuge drum can then either be refilled or a regeneration process follows. In this regeneration process, the solid fraction remaining in the drum during peeling, the so-called base layer, is removed, for example by backwashing, and filters are replaced if necessary.
  • FIG. 2 shows the course over time of the fill level and the filter cake thickness in the above-described operations of the filter centrifuge for one work cycle.
  • the washing process is started, in which a washing liquid is fed to the drum and filtered through the filter cake by centrifugation. As soon as the washing liquid has completely penetrated the surface of the filter cake, that is the immersion point ET, the filtering process is continued with the dry spin process without adding any additional liquid. The drum is then cleared and regenerated if necessary.
  • the total cycle time t is relatively long in the case of products that are difficult to filter, the time fraction required for the dry spin cycle being particularly important.
  • the height of the filter cake decreases only slightly during the spin drying process.
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically the decrease in height of the washing liquid added before the spin-drying phase.
  • the decreasing layer height h is measured and stored at regular time intervals and the differential quotient dh / dt is continuously formed in a process computer from the decrease in height of the washing liquid layer above the filter cake.
  • the total layer height decreases until the filter cake thickness h ET is reached, at which the liquid on the cake surface disappears and is immersed in the filter cake.
  • the to this immersion point belonging time t ET is registered.
  • the spin time t S starts to spin dry the solid cake.
  • This essential time t S for the cycle duration can be determined from the values h ET and dh / dt measured for each batch and a constant K which is dependent on the machine data (size) and the drum speed.
  • the filtration properties fluctuating during operation depend on the fluctuating suspension properties such as grain shape, average grain size (d-p50), shape and slope of the total curve of the grain size analysis, fine particles, feed concentration, liquid temperature, viscosity, interfacial tension etc. These product properties are determined by the parameters h ET and dh / dt recorded with sufficient accuracy.
  • the dry spin time t S required for the respective batch to achieve the desired residual moisture is calculated from:
  • the ratio of the filter cake heights when immersing the washing liquid (h ET ) and when immersing the mother liquor (h ETo ) is formed; the removal speeds when immersing the mother liquor (dh / dt) o and when immersing the washing liquid (dh / dt) are calculated and also related.
  • the values determined in this way are exponentiated by the exponents b or c and multiplied by the value K a , which depends on the machine data. Finally, the value thus obtained is multiplied by a time value t So for a normal dry spin cycle.
  • the quantity t So can be calculated, formed from an empirical value or measured in a previous spinning process.
  • the constant exponents a, b and c can be calculated or be determined by experiments; they do not change for the individual batches.
  • FIG. 4 shows the filling level curve over time for two differently filtering products due to the influence of the batch-dependent suspension feed.
  • the solid line shows the normal batch flow with the operations: Filling, filtering, adding washing liquid, spinning up to the immersion point ET 0 , dry spin, Clear out
  • the dashed line shows the batch process for grain enlargement and increase in the feed concentration.
  • the rate of rise is somewhat slower when filling because the product filters better.
  • the filling valve is closed and the liquid level drops more steeply.
  • the washing liquid can be added immediately; the water level drops faster.
  • the immersion point ET1 the dry spin phase begins, which 1 can be much shorter than in the normal case because of the steep drop (ie / dt). If the desired residual moisture has been reached, clearing can already start at R1. The cycle can then be repeated.
  • Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of the process control.
  • the quantities h and h ET to be measured on the centrifuge as a function of time are entered into the computer. From the differential quotient dh / dt during the filtering off of the mother liquor at point W and the differential quotient dh / dt during the washing liquid outflow at point ET, the batch-dependent change in the drying time required to reach a certain residual moisture at point R is calculated in a process computer and specified as the cycle time.
  • the mean value can also be determined from the linearized course of the decrease in height over time or the difference quotient ⁇ h / coursen t of the quantities.
  • An analog computer or a digital computer can be used as the process computer.
