Abstract
A container for facilitating solid phase-liquid phase separation has all corrosive resistant materials on the liquid-contacting surfaces. A center wall of polyethylene is provided to increase the surface area available for separation. Support structure for the filter medium includes either a poly grate or a poly cuspated plastic or a combination thereof. Poly connectors and drain lines complete the structure ensuring that the container has high durability and will provide a long, corrosion-free life. A specially formulated highly lubricious material (high molecular weight polyethylene) is utilized for the poly walls to enable rapid clean out of the container.
Claims8
A container used to effect solid phase-liquid phase separation of a slurry, said container comprising
- a) a metallic skeletal grid;
- b) a corrosion-resistant internal wall manufactured of polyethylene, said polyethylene wall forming a bottom surface and being secured to said metallic skeletal grid using corrosion-resistant fasteners;
- c) corrosion-resistant filter means for separating the liquid phase from the solid phase;
- d) conduit means positioned below said bottom surface, said conduit means including a plurality of T-connectors positioned below said bottom surface, said conduit means conveying the liquid phase out of said internal polyethylene wall, said conduit means further comprising a plurality of poly nuts inside said bottom surface interconnected to said plurality of T-connectors.
