Apparatus And Method For Rehabilitating A Traveling Bridge Filter Underdrain

View page
US Patent:
6733670, May 11, 2004
Filed:
Feb 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/782162
Inventors:
John A. Kupke - Annapolis MD
Assignee:
Parkson Corporation - Fort Lauderdale FL
International Classification:
B01D 2446
US Classification:
210271, 210275, 210293
Abstract:
A porous media support plate module may be used to construct a new filter underdrain or to rehabilitate an existing filter underdrain. A porous plate replacement module may be inserted between two existing cell dividers to replace a damaged porous media support plate, which may be allowing media leakage. The design of the replacement module provides an improved plenum structure, which enhances the backwash process and reduces the drawbacks of applying adhesives in varying weather conditions. In an alternative design, a module may be provided to enhance the backwash process of existing cells.

Filter Underdrain With Prefabricated Cells

View page
US Patent:
60481323, Apr 11, 2000
Filed:
Jul 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/122801
Inventors:
John A. Kupke - Annapolis MD
Joseph A. Kupke - Germantown MD
John F. Pfeifer - Baltimore MD
Assignee:
Agency Environmental, Inc. - Hanover MD
International Classification:
E02B 1100
B01D 2412
US Classification:
405 43
Abstract:
An improved method for constructing filter underdrain systems may be provided which uses prefabricated underdrain cells. The prefabricated underdrain cells may have a one piece construction having side walls and a bottom. The side walls may include a porous plate support ledge with a ridge at the center of the ledge. The ridge helps ensure that the sealant forms a uniform and effective gasket when the porous plates are installed.

Apparatus And Method For Automatically Controlling The Permeability Of A Traveling Bridge Filter System

View page
US Patent:
52346005, Aug 10, 1993
Filed:
Apr 22, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/872236
Inventors:
John A. Kupke - Annapolis MD
Assignee:
Agency Environmental, Inc. - Hanover MD
International Classification:
B01D 2134
US Classification:
210662
Abstract:
The present invention comprises apparatus and a method of automatically controlling the permeability of filter beds. In particular, this invention directs itself to filter beds or tanks that are divided into a plurality of contiguous compartments or cells, each compartment containing a filtering media substrate, which substrate is cleansed or backwashed, periodically, when necessary, by a traveling bridge backwash mechanism. The duration and frequency of backwashing is automatically controlled to maintain a desired overall permeability and throughput performance of the filter bed. Permeability control is dynamic to maintain optimum performance under all conditions, i. e. changing in response to fluctuating filter bed hydraulic or solids loading rates.

Filtration System With Traveling Plenum

View page
US Patent:
58913351, Apr 6, 1999
Filed:
Jan 4, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/583173
Inventors:
John A. Kupke - Annapolis MD
Assignee:
Agency Environmental, Inc. - Hanover MD
International Classification:
B01D 2446
US Classification:
210273
Abstract:
A completely new type of filtration system uses a traveling plenum that travels through granular filtration media in a filter tank and backwashes a portion of the media a little at a time. A pump forces backwash water into the traveling plenum, and porous plates mounted on the top of the plenum allow the water to come to the surface of the media and loosen solids deposited at the surface during a filtration cycle. A washwater hood and waste water pump removes the loosened solids from the surface of the media. Porous plates mounted on the sides of the traveling plenum allow backwash water to fluidize surrounding media and promote the transportation of the traveling plenum in the media. Thus, filter construction is reduced to creating a tank with influent and effluent openings without the complicated cell and plenum construction of conventional traveling bridge filters. Effluent plugs, installed across effluent openings, are designed to allow water to exit the tank but retain media inside the tank.
