Abstract
A waste water treating device can be simply installed in a small area and destroy combustible wastes and sludge to reduce fuel consumption cost of a burner. Moreover, the waste water treating device can increase a treating amount of the waste water per unit time to thereby reduce an activation time thereof and decrease installation and maintenance cost, to thereby obtain an economic advantage.The waste water treating device includes: a treater( 10) having a burner (13) which evaporates waste water and destroys by fire sludge contained within the waste water, if the waste water ejected through nozzles (32) flows to a combustion chamber (12) and combustible general wastes are inserted through an insertion hole (111); a supplier (20) which supplies the waste water from a collecting tank to the treater (10), an ejector (30) which ejects the waste water supplied from the supplier (20) to the treater (10), and a dust collector (40) which is connected to an ejecting hole (113) of the treater (10), for collecting dusts contained within exhaust gas ejected from the treater (10).
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a waste water treating device, and more particularly, to a waste water treating device which can treat waste water containing waste printing ink which is generated from a printing factory, or waste water containing a variety of oil such as lubricating oil which is generated from a general factory.
BACKGROUND ART
Generally, in a printing factory all kinds of printing products are manufactured by using water or oil ink, and therefore waste water containing waste ink is generated. Further, even lubricating oil may be contained in the waste water due to activation of printing machines.
Meanwhile, the generation of the waste water containing the oil is not excluded in a general factory which machines is worked.
To prevent pollution of environment due to discharge of waste water out of factory, there is provided a conventional device which filters or purifies waste ink or oil contained in the waste water by using a filtering method by means of a filter, a sewage purification method, or a sedimenting method with medicines.
However, in the conventional device using the filtering method with the filter, if the filter through which a variety of sludge such as a waste ink particles, oil particles and so on is filtered is waste without any treatment, the filtered waste water is restored to its original waste water in the case where water is admixed to the wasted filter. Therefore, there is an inconvenience in that the completely used filter should be destroyed by fire.
Also, in the conventional device using the sedimenting method with medicines there are problems in that a purification cost is increased due to expensive medicine usage and a sediment should be re-treated. Additionally, if the treated water with the medicines is directly discharged, there occurs a problem in that river contamination is naturally accompanied since the treated water is short of the biological oxygen demand (BOD).
Due to an illegal exhaust of factory waste water, the waste water flows to general sewage or rivers to deteriorate soil or the water quality, which results in a serious destruction of natural environment.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a waste water treating device which can completely prevent generation of contamination of natural environment caused due to factory waste water in order to be free from the above-mentioned problems.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a waste water treating device which can be installed in a small area and reduce installation and maintenance cost thereof.
To achieve these and other objects according to the present invention, there is provided a waste water treating device including: a treater which destroys by fire sludge such as waste printing ink, waste oil and the like contained in waste water and evaporates the waste water; a supplier which delivers the waste water from a collecting tank to the treater; and an ejector which ejects the waste water supplied from the supplier to a combustion chamber within the treater. With the waste water treating device according to the present invention, since the sludge such as waste printing water or oil ink, lubricating oil, cutting oil and so on can be completely removed in the destruction by fire manner and the waste water is evaporated, a re-treatment process is separately not required and further a large installation area is not occupied.
Further, a waste water treating device according to the present invention includes a separator which electrically separates the sludge such as ink particles or oil particles contained in the waste water and a preheater which preheats the waste water before it is delivered to the treater.
If the waste water is supplied and ejected in the combustion chamber within the treater by the operation of the supplier and the ejector, the waste printing ink or waste oil contained in the waste water is destroyed by the frames of a burner which is mounted within the combustion chamber and the waste water is then evaporated. During the process, if the waste water is passed through the separator, the various kinds of sludge such as printing ink particles, waste oil particles and the like contained within the waste water is electrically separated from the waste water and directly puts in the combustion chamber. Next, since a low density of waste water from which the various kinds of sludge is filtered is delivered to the preheater and is then preheated to be ejected within the combustion chamber, the printing ink particles or the waste oil particles are immediately destroyed by fire and the water is rapidly evaporated, which results in a complete removal of the generation of environment contamination due to the factory waste water.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an explanation on the construction and operation of a waste water treating device constructed according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be in detail discussed with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2
.
Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2
showing a waste water treating device constructed according to a first embodiment of the present invention, there are provided a treater
10
which destroys by fire sludgy such as waste printing ink, waste oil and so on contained in waste water and evaporates the water remaining after the destruction by fire, a supplier
20
which supplies the waste water from a collecting tank to the treater
10
, an ejector
30
which ejects the waste water supplied from the supplier
20
to the treater
10
, and a dust collector which collects dusts contained within exhaust gas ejected from the treater
10
to prevent the dusts from being scattered to the exterior.
Preferably, the treater
10
is comprised of a gas cylinder
11
, a combustion chamber
12
installed within the gas cylinder
11
, a burner
13
mounted on a lower side portion of the combustion chamber
12
, and a blower
14
for supplying external air within the combustion chamber
12
.
On the upper portion of the front surface of the gas cylinder
11
, an inserting hole
111
having an opened/closed door
11
a
is installed, through which combustible general wastes are inserted into the combustion chamber
12
. And, on the lower portion of the front surface of the gas cylinder
11
, a drawing hole
112
having an opened/closed door
11
b
is installed, through which burned ashes are taken out of the combustion chamber
12
. Meanwhile, on the top end portion of the gas cylinder
11
, an ejecting hole
113
is installed to eject the combustion air.
The combustion chamber
12
is installed to be surrounded with a fire-resisting wall
15
which is comprised of fire-resisting bricks piled up on the inner peripheral surface of the gas cylinder
11
, and an air passage
16
is formed by an appropriate interval between the fire-resisting wall
15
and the gas cylinder
11
. Further, a plurality of connecting holes
17
are installed by an appropriate interval on the fire-resisting wall
15
to connect the combustion chamber
12
with the air passage
16
.
And, connection of the blower
14
with the air passage
16
is made by means of a blowing pipe
18
.
Hence, if the blower
14
operates, external air is supplied via the blowing pipe
18
to the air passage
16
and finally flows into the combustion chamber
12
through the plurality of connecting holes. So, oxygen contained within the external air arrives at the combustion chamber
12
to facilitate the combustion operation thereof.
On the other hand, a plurality of guide projections
19
, which are each comprised of a fire-resisting brick and are formed at a crossed position to each other in every directions, are protrudedly installed on the inner wall surface of the fire-resisting wall
15
. In the case where a part of the waste water ejected within the combustion chamber
12
flows along the inner surface of the fire-resisting wall
15
, the part of waste water is distributed in left and right directions by means of the guide projections
19
, such that the waster water is widely distributed, while delaying the flowing speed of the waste water, to thereby activate the combustion and evaporation of the combustion chamber
12
.
Of course, the plurality of guide projections
19
are horizontally protruded, but may be inclinedly protruded at an appropriate angle, as shown by a virtual line ‘A’ of FIG.
2
.
The supplier
20
is preferably comprised of a pump
21
, a storage tank
23
into which the waste water conveyed through a conveying pipe
22
, and a check valve
24
which is mounted on the conveying pipe
22
to prevent the waste water from reversely flowing.
An induction hole
211
of the pump
21
is connected by means of an induction pipe
25
to the waste water collecting tank (not shown), and an ejecting hole
212
thereof is connected to the conveying pipe
22
.
A flutter
26
is installed within the storage tank
23
to thereby control storage of an appropriate amount of waste water therein. Thus, if the waste water to be stored in the storage tank
23
reaches a proper water level, a switch (not shown) of the flutter
26
is turned “off”, activation of the pump
21
stops, and contrarily, if the waste water is under the proper water level, the switch thereof is turned “on”, the pump
21
operates to supply the waste water.
The ejector
30
is preferably comprised of receiving pipe bodies
31
which are mounted on the upper portion of the interior of the gas cylinder
11
, and nozzles
32
are attached by appropriate intervals to the inner peripheral surfaces of the receiving pipe bodies
31
, each of which has an inner end connected to the fire-resisting wall
15
and exposed to the combustion chamber
12
.
The receiving pipe bodies
31
are connected via a supplying pipe
33
to the storage tank
23
, and a check valve
34
and an adjusting valve
35
are each attached on the supplying pipe
33
.
The check valve
34
serves to prevent the waste water supplied to the receiving pipe bodies
31
from reversely flowing, and the adjusting valve
35
serves to artificially adjust a supplying amount of the waste water.
In addition, a pump or a compressor (not shown) may be mounted on the supplying pipe
33
to forcedly eject the waste water to the combustion chamber
12
through the nozzles
32
.
A chimney
114
connects onesurface of the upper side of a gas cylinder
41
of the dust collector
40
with an ejecting hole
113
of the gas cylinder
11
, and an exhaust pipe
42
, which has a diameter smaller than the gas cylinder
41
, is mounted on the center portion of the sealed upper end surface of the dust collector
40
to be vertically passed through the dust collector
40
.
Since the lower end of the exhaust pipe
42
is disposed at a lower position than the connected position of the chimney
114
and the gas cylinder
41
, a circulating space
43
is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the upper portion of the gas cylinder
41
and the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the exhaust pipe
42
.
Therefore, since the combustion air flowing into the upper portion of the gas cylinder
41
through the chimney
114
is circulated at the circulating space
43
and then passes through the lower end of the exhaust pipe
42
to be exhausted to the outside, the dusts contained within the combustion air are dropped to the dust collecting chamber
44
formed in the lower portion of the gas cylinder
41
by its own tare force.
The collected dusts are taken out of a drawing hole
45
having an openable/closeable door
41
a
on the lower portion of the gas cylinder
41
.
Now, an explanation of an operation of the waste water treating device constructed according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be discussed.
Firstly, the burner
13
of the treater
10
is ignited to heat the combustion chamber
12
up to an appropriate temperature, and then the pump
21
of the supplier
20
operates to convey the waste water collected within the collecting tank to the storage tank
23
.
Next, the door
11
a
of the gas cylinder
11
of the treater
10
opens and the combustible wastes such as paper, lumber and so on are inserted within the combustion chamber
12
through the inserting hole
111
. The general wastes are on the a roaster
115
and finally destroyed by the fire of burner
13
.
At the time, since the interior of the combustion chamber
12
is maintained at the high temperature by the fire of the burner
13
, the general wastes can be well burned, even if the roaster
115
is not mounted.
Next, if the blower
14
operates to supply the external air within the air passage
16
, the external air flows to each of the connecting holes
17
, and is supplied t the combustion chamber
12
to facilitate the combustion operation thereof.
Under the above state, if the adjusting valve
35
of the ejector
30
opens to supply the waste water within the storage tank
23
to the receiving pipe bodies
31
, the waste water is ejected into the combustion chamber
12
through the nozzles
32
each attached on the inner peripheral surface of the receiving pipe bodies
31
. At the time, the waste water is ejected by a compressing force of the pump or compressor in a mist shape from the upper portion of the combustion chamber
12
. Alternatively, if the waste water flows naturally, it flows along the inner surface of the fire-resisting wall
15
.
Since the waste water flowing along the inner surface of the fire-resisting wall
15
is distributed in left and right directions by means of the guide projections
19
protruded on the inner surface of the fire-resisting wall
15
, the waste printing ink or the waste oil contained within the waste water is rapidly burned by the heated fire-resisting wall
15
and the fire of burner
13
and even the water remaining after the burning is finally evaporated.
The ashes generated during the combustion are dropped to the lower portion of the gas cylinder
11
, and the evaporated steam is ejected to the dust collector
40
through the ejecting hole
113
and the chimney
114
, along with the exhaust gas.
Then, the exhaust gas flowing to the upper portion of the dust collector
40
is circulated in the circulating space
43
and passes through the lower end of the exhaust pipe
42
to be exhausted to the outside through the exhaust pipe
42
. During the process, the dusts contained within the exhaust gas are dropped to the dust collecting chamber
44
formed in the lower portion of the gas cylinder
41
by its own tare force.
FIGS. 3
to
6
show a waste water treating device constructed according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the same manner as the first embodiment of the present invention, in the second embodiment of the present invention there are provided a treater
10
which destroys by fire sludgy such as waste printing ink, waste oil and so on contained in waste water and evaporates the water remaining after the destruction by fire, a supplier
20
which supplies the waste water from a collecting tank to the treater
10
, an ejector
30
which ejects the waste water supplied from the supplier
20
to the treater
10
, and a dust collector which collects dusts contained within exhaust gas ejected from the treater
10
to prevent the dusts from being scattered to the exterior.
Further, the waste water treating device constructed according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a separator
50
which separates and collects various sludge such as waste printing ink particles or an oil particles contained in the waste water to directly supply the process waste water to the treater
10
before the supplier
20
supplies the waste water to the ejector
30
, and a heat exchanger
60
which heat-exchanges and preheats a low density of waste water from which the sludge is removed with the heat of exhaust gas ejected from the treater
10
and delivers the preheated waste water to the ejector
30
.
Preferably, the separator
50
is comprised of a collecting tank
51
, a separating tank
52
mounted separatably within the collecting tank
51
, separating rollers
53
and
53
′ installed rotatably within the upper end portion of the separating tank
52
, and blades
54
and
54
′ for scratching the sludge attached on the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ to drop the scratched sludge to the collecting tank
51
.
The bottom surface of the collecting tank
51
is formed in a downward inclined manner towards the center portion thereof. A flowing hole
511
of the center portion of the collecting tank
51
is connected to the top end of a supplying pipe
512
, and the bottom end of the supplying pipe
512
is formed to be positioned at the upper side of a burner
13
within the combustion chamber
12
of the treater
10
.
Accordingly, the sludge collected in the collecting tank
51
directly flows within the combustion chamber
12
by means of the supplying pipe
512
and is then burned therein.
The separating tank
52
, which is mounted separatably within the collecting tank
51
, is formed in a smaller size than the collecting tank
51
. An inflowing hole
521
of the one side of the separating tank
52
is connected to one end of a conveying pipe
22
of the supplier
20
, and an outflowing hole
522
of the bottom surface thereof is connected to one end of a conveying pipe
22
a
for conveying a low density of waste water flowing from the outflowing hole
522
to the heat exchanger
60
.
The separating rollers
53
and
53
′ each take a form of a cylindrical body having a cavity in the interior thereof, which are each comprised of shafts
531
and
531
′ mounted to be crossedly passed through the interior thereof, cores
532
and
532
′ each attached to the shafts
531
and
531
′ to be placed on the interior of the cavity, and carbon brushes
534
and
534
′ mounted by appropriate intervals on the inner peripheral surfaces of the separating rollers
53
and
53
′.
The separating rollers
53
and
53
′ are installed rotatably by means of the shafts
531
and
531
′ on the upper end portion of the separating tank
52
and have their lower portions which are under the waste water within the separating tank
52
. Each one end of the shafts
531
and
531
′ is engaged with gears
535
and
535
′, and the gear
535
is engaged with a gear
537
mounted on a shaft of a motor
536
.
If the motor
536
is driven, the driving force of the motor
536
is transmitted by the gear
537
to the gears
535
and
535
′, to thereby rotate the separating rollers
53
and
53
′.
Accordingly, one coil
533
of coils
533
and
533
′ is connected to a positive (+) terminal of a bridge rectification circuit
55
, and the other coil
533
′ is connected to a negative (−) terminal thereof.
If an alternating current power
70
is conductive, the alternating current power is rectified by the bridge rectification circuit
55
, and ripple components contained in the rectified alternating current power are smoothed by a capacitor C and a resistor R and are then transmitted to each of the coils
533
and
533
′.
Since each of the coils
533
and
533
′ generates a magnetic force, the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ become an electromagnet, such that negative (−) particles of the sludge contained in the waste water
538
are attached to the separating roller
53
and positive (+) particles of the sludge are attached to the separating roller
53
′.
Since the sludge contained in the waste water
538
within the separating tank
52
is attached to the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ of the electromagnet, respectively, it is electrically separated from the waste water
538
.
The blades
54
and
54
′, which are mounted on the upper ends of both sides of the separating tank
52
, have the inner ends which are in almost contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ and have the outer ends which are installed to be downwardly inclined to be exposed to the outside of the separating tank
52
.
When the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ are rotated, the sludge attached on the outer peripheral surfaces thereof are scratched by the inner ends of the blades
54
and
54
′ and then passes through the upper surfaces of the blades
54
and
54
′ to be dropped within the collecting tank
51
.
At the time, since the sludge particles collected in the collecting tank
51
is watery, they are poured into the combustion chamber
12
through the outflowing hole
511
and the supplying pipe
512
of the collecting tank
51
.
The heat exchange
60
, which takes a form of a cylindrical body having an inflowing hole
61
and an outflowing hole
62
, is installed on the upper side portion within the circulating space
43
of the dust collector
40
.
The inflowing hole
61
is connected to the other end of the conveying pipe
22
a,
and the outflowing hole
62
is connected by means of the conveying pipe
22
b
to a storage tank
23
in which a flutter
26
is installed.
Hence, after the low density of waste water from which the sludge is separated and removed from the separating tank
52
flows within the heat exchanger
60
and absorbs heat from exhaust gas ejected to the dust collector
40
through a chimney
114
and then preheated, the preheated waste water is delivered to the storage tank
23
and ejected within the combustion chamber
12
by the ejector
30
.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment of the present invention the low density of waste water is delivered to the storage tank
23
through the heat exchanger
60
, but may be delivered to the heat exchanger
60
through the separator
50
and the storage tank
23
and then preheated to be conveyed to the ejector
30
or may be delivered to the heat exchanger
60
through the storage tank
23
and the separator
50
, which is not of course deviated from the scope of the invention.
In addition, in the second embodiment of the present invention two ejector pairs
30
are formed in upper and lower directions to be faced to each other on the intermediate portion of the gas cylinder
11
of the treater
10
, each of which has a nozzle
32
having a crossed horizontal or upward ejecting direction.
And, a pump
36
is mounted on a passage of a supplying pipe
33
, and the waste water is ejected through each of nozzles
32
, as the pump
36
is operated.
At the time, since the waste water is ejected in a misty shape, the water is rapidly evaporated and the remaining sludge is well burned.
In this case, since the ejected waste water is crossed and bumped against each other, an eddy flow phenomenon occurs and therefore since the waste water is widely distributed due to the eddy flow phenomenon, the combustion and evaporation operations can be greatly improved with the fire of the burner
13
and the heat of the fire-resisting wall
15
.
Furthermore, the ejectors
30
are connected to the inner ends of branch pipes
33
′ pipe-arranged on the end portions of the supplying pipe
33
and are directly supplied with the waste water by the branch pipes
33
.
Accordingly, when compared with the first embodiment of the present invention, in the second embodiment of the present invention the installation of the receiving pipe bodies
31
are not needed within the gas cylinder
11
.
And, a pouring pipe
38
of compression air is connected to each of the branch pipes
33
′, and the compression air is poured by means of a compressor
37
.
Pouring the compression air prevents the branch pipes
33
′ having a relative small aperture from being blocked as well as increases an ejecting force of the waste water through the nozzles
32
.
Hence, there is no need to install the pump
36
on the supplying pipe
33
, when using the compressor
37
, and if installed, the pump
36
may be used with the compressor
37
or selectively used.
The compressor
37
may be of course used by one installed in other device within the factory.
Meanwhile, heaters
27
and
56
are each installed in the storage tank
23
and the separating tank
52
to thereby prevent them from being frozen in the winter.
Now, an explanation of an operation of the waste water treating device constructed according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be discussed.
Firstly, the burner
13
of the treater
10
is ignited to heat the combustion chamber
12
up to an appropriate temperature, and simultaneously the door
11
a
is opened to pour combustible wastes through the inserting hole
111
into the combustion chamber
12
. Then, the pump
21
of the supplier
20
operates to convey the waste water collected within the collecting tank
201
to the separating tank
52
of the separator
50
.
At the time, the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ of the separator
50
are rotated by the driving of the motor
536
, and the power of the cores
532
and
532
′ and the coils
533
and
533
′ mounted in the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ is conductive. As a result, since the separating roller
53
becomes an electromagnet having a positive (+) magnetic force and the separating roller
53
′ becomes an electromagnet having a negative (−) magnetic force, the sludge contained within the waste water is electrically separated by the magnetic force thereof and is attached on the outer peripheral surfaces of the separating rollers
53
and
53
′.
While the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ are continually rotated, since the inner ends of the blades
54
and
54
′ are in almost contact with the outer peripheral surface of the separating rollers
53
and
53
′, the sludge attached on the outer peripheral surfaces of the separating rollers
53
and
53
′ is scratched by the inner ends of the blades
54
and
54
′ and passes through the upper surface thereof to be dropped within the collecting tank
51
.
At the time, the sludge separatedly collected from the waste water
538
is directly delivered to the combustion chamber
12
through the outflowing hole
511
and the supplying pipe
512
of the bottom surface of the collecting tank
51
and is immediately burned by a high temperature of fire of the burner
13
.
The low density of waste water from which the sludge particles are separated and removed flows within the heat exchanger
60
through the outflowing hole
522
and the conveying pipe
22
a.
At the time, since the heat exchanger
60
is heated by the heat of the exhaust gas ejected to the interior of the dust collector
40
through the chimney
114
from the treater
10
, the low density of waste water within the heat exchanger
60
is heat-exchanged with the exhaust gas and heated.
Next, the heated waste water is delivered to the storage tank
23
through the outflowing hole
62
and the conveying pipe
22
b,
and the waste water in the storage tank
23
is delivered to the receiving pipe body
31
of the ejector
30
and is ejected within the combustion chamber
12
through the nozzles
32
.
Since the low density of waste water is in a heated state within the heat exchanger
60
, the water and the sludge remaining can be rapidly evaporated and burned within the combustion chamber
12
.
On the other hand, in the second embodiment of the present invention the waste water is delivered to the heat exchanger
60
through the separator
50
, but may be delivered from the separator
50
to the ejector
30
, not passing through the heat exchanger
60
, which is not of course deviated from the scope of the invention.
Furthermore, all operations of the first and second embodiments of the present invention are automatically controlled by a general automatic control apparatus (not shown).
Industrial Applicability
As apparent from the foregoing, a waste water treating device constructed according to the present invention can rapidly evaporate waste water in which waste water or oil printing ink, or waste oil such as lubricating oil, cutting oil and so on is contained in a treater and completely destroys by fire sludge contained in the waste water, to thereby eliminate an environment contamination problem caused due to the factory waste water.
In addition, a waste water treating device constructed according to the present invention can be simply installed in a small area and destroy combustible wastes and sludge to reduce fuel consumption cost of a burner. Moreover, a waste water treating device constructed according to the present invention can increase a treating amount of the waste water per unit time to thereby reduce an activation time thereof and decrease installation and maintenance cost, to thereby obtain an economic advantage.
