146 Batch timer initialization for a sand classifying tank US880702 1992-05-08 US5818732A 1998-10-06 Louis A. Vanderwilt
A process to determine the optimal initial settings for a series of timers in a timed-contribution batch process, based on the feed material flow rate and the composition of the material. The optimum initial timer arrangement is that which results in the maximum possible product output in the shortest possible batch time; this condition is realized when all of the minimum product requirements, as determined by the minimum timer settings, are satisfied at approximately the same time. The process first monitors the accumulation rates of the various constituents of the feed material for a discrete period of time, during which time a sensing device records the individual accumulation rates. Values representing the accumulation rates are normalized to the value of the greatest accumulation rate. A multiplier is applied to the resulting ratios to determine the optimal initial minimum timer settings. The maximum timer settings may be arithmetically or algebraically derived from the minimum timer settings. This method allows the operator to make manual adjustments, which sacrifice a percentage of the product yield for the sake of product composition control, from the starting point of maximum production.
147 Multiflow pressurized deinking apparatus US993474 1997-12-18 US5804061A 1998-09-08 Richard P. Hebert; David B. Grimes
A mixture of air and paper stock made from recycled paper from which the ink particles have been chemically released is injected into a cylindrical processing vessel. Added surfactants create a foam from the air as it rises through the stock and cause the ink particles to adhere to the air bubbles, resulting in a foam containing a concentrated fraction of the ink particles with some included fibers. The foam rises to the top of the vessel, and carries with it ink particles. Additional air injection ports can be used to increase the amount of foam generated and the amount of ink removed. Flow of stock and foam from the vessel can be controlled by adjusting valves on the stock and foam outlets. Flotation sensors allow the foam head to be maintained at the stock level by controlling the rate foam is withdrawn through the foam outlets.

Motor (110) is coupled to valve member 80 whereby to move the valve member towards and away from the orifice (77), whereby to decrease the flow through outlet pipe (34) when the contamination level drops and to increase flow when the contamination level rises. A further control circuit (140) coupled to detector (118) is effective to control valves (102, 104) whereby to recycle the denser liquid component through the separator in the event that the contamination level is determined to be above a predetermined level.
156 Separation system including a floatation tank having level control means US642193 1984-08-20 US4563274A 1986-01-07 Stephen Rothon; Ronald Collis
An aqueous solution carrying paint solids is fed through an inlet into a floatation tank. The clean liquid exits through an orifice whose size is controlled by a movable gate. The level of the liquid within the tank is sensed by an ultrasonic rangefinder and the distance signals output from this rangefinder are fed to an electronic controller. During normal operation, this controller periodically supplies power signals to an electric actuator to adjust the position of the gate whereby the level of the liquid in the tank can be maintained substantially at the a first predetermined level. The controller may also include means for causing the liquid to rise to a second predetermined level after a preset time such that the paint solids are transferred over a weir into a collecting vessel. Thereafter the liquid level is caused to rapidly drop and is again maintained at the first level.
