Apparatus and Method for Cleaning Water

摘要

The present invention relates an apparatus for cleaning water, in particular precleaning seawater, including at least one tank for receiving water containing at least one flocculating agent for separating organic and possibly biological constituents contained in the water. The at least one tank includes at least one contact zone K for contacting the water containing the flocculating agent with at least one gas, in particular air, and at least one separation zone S for separating the flocculated organic constituents buoyed up by the gas. At least one gassing unit is arranged in the at least one contact zone K and at least one filtration unit is arranged in the at least one separation zone S. The at least one gas is injected via the at least one gassing unit without using a liquid carrier.

1. An apparatus for cleaning salt water, in particular precleaning seawater, comprising
at least one tank for receiving water containing at least one flocculating agent for separating organic and possibly biological constituents contained in the water, wherein the at least one tank comprises at least one contact zone K for contacting the water containing the flocculating agent with at least one gas, in particular air, and at least one separation zone S for separating the flocculated organic constituents buoyed, wherein at least one gassing unit of one or more ceramic gassing membranes with an average pore size of 2 μm is arranged in the at least one contact zone K and at least one filtration unit is arranged in the at least one separation zone S, and wherein the gassing unit is directly connected to a compressed-gas line or a gas cylinder such that the at least one gas is injected directly into the at least one tank via the at least one gassing unit without using a liquid carrier.
