Hebestation und Methode zur Sammlung niedrig fliessender Flüssigkeiten

摘要

A lift station (10) and method for lifting liquid and chips flowing in a shallow stream trough to a higher level for further handling by rotation of a bladed wheel (14) in a housing (12) arranged to receive the liquid flow stream. The rotating blades (28) cause the liquid to be swept up a forward housing wall (34) and to be slung off the blades (28) into an upwardly and backwardly extending exit chute (42), having sufficient momentum to reach and pass over a weir edge (40) at the upper end of the chute (42), the liquid then directed into a collection tank (48) where it may accumulate to a much greater depth than the depth of the flow stream.
