INERTIAL THICKENER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B04C9/00 B01D29/64 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to suspension separators and serves to extract suspended substances from effluents at live farming. Proposed inertial thickener consists of cylindrical housing and its conical section. Housing cylindrical section accommodates filtration shell with tangential inlet branch pipe arranged at its top for initial suspension, vaned rotor aligned with said liquid fraction discharge branch pipe to run in bearings that features height and diameter equal to filtration shell chamber. Filtration shell bottom edge is provided with tangential discharge branch pipes with their inner ends directed in rotational direction of vaned rotor and outer ends passed through hollow housing wall. Discharge shell top base encloses hollow housing with radial clearance at the level of tangential discharge tubes and features skewed bottom penetrated by hollow housing conical section sealed therein.

EFFECT: higher dehydration.
