Abstract
The present invention relates to a process and a system for separation of fluids and solids present in a slurry, wherein at least one additive is added to the slurry, which slurry then is fed into a coiled tubing for mixing of the at least one additive with the slurry to obtain a mixed slurry, and thereafter the mixed slurry is separated into fluids and solids. Further, the present invention relates to a coiled tubing for mixing of at least one additive and a slurry. The present invention is especially useful in separation of slurries, such as biomasses and manure from different animals such as cattle, but is also applicable for other types of slurries.
Claims18
A process for separation of fluids and solids present in a slurry, wherein at least one additive is added to the slurry, which slurry then is fed into a coiled tubing for mixing of the at least one additive with the slurry to obtain a mixed slurry, wherein the slurry is pushed upwards in the coiled tubing and the slurry falls downwards in the coiled tubing when the slurry reaches beyond a top of the coiled tubing, and thereafter the mixed slurry is separated into fluids and solids.
A system for separation of fluids and solids present in a slurry, which system comprises:
- at least one device (2) for transporting the slurry through the system,
- a device for addition of at least one additive (3 and/or 6),
- a coiled tubing (7) for mixing of the at least one additive with the slurry to obtain a mixed slurry, wherein the coiled tubing is arranged to enable the slurry to be pushed upwards in the coiled tubing and to enable the slurry to fall downwards in the coiled tubing when the slurry reaches beyond a top of the coiled tubing, and
- a separation device (8) for separating the mixed slurry into fluids and solids.
