  2. Backwashing (water treatment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backwashing_(water_treatment)

    Water to be filtered is then applied to the filter surface until the filter clogs and the backwash cycle needs to be repeated. [3]: 264–8 [4]: 10.53–10.58 [5]: 937–9 [6]: 8.11–8.18 [7]: 353–6 Some water treatment filters use surface wash systems that break up the heavily clogged, granular media surface layer.

  3. Pentair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentair

    Pentair was founded in August 1966 as Pentair Industries, Inc., with the name derived from the Greek root word "penta-" (alluding to the company's five founders) and "air" (alluding to the company's original product), and went public several months later. [10] The 5 founders were all formally employed by Litton Industries. [11]

    Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology, normally referred to as UASB reactor, is a form of anaerobic digester that is used for wastewater treatment.. The UASB reactor is a methanogenic (methane-producing) digester that evolved from the anaerobic clarigester.

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  6. Rapid sand filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sand_filter

    Rapid sand filters use relatively coarse sand (0.5 to 1.0 mm) and other granular media, such as anthracite, in beds of 0.6 to 1.2 metre depth to remove particles and impurities that have been trapped in a floc through the use of flocculation chemicals—typically alum. Since media other than silica sand can be used in such filters, a more ...

  7. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is ...

  8. Hackworth valve gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackworth_valve_gear

    The Hackworth valve gear is a design of valve gear used to regulate the flow of steam to the pistons in steam engines. It is a radial gear , with an actuating lever driven from the crank. The drive may be taken directly from the crank or indirectly via a return crank (as in all pictures).

  9. Backward-wave oscillator - Wikipedia

    on figure (a), the fundamental n=0 is a forward space harmonic (the phase velocity v n =ω/k n has the same sign as the group velocity v g =dω/dk n), synchronism condition for backward interaction is at point B, intersection of the line of slope v e - the beam velocity - with the first backward (n = -1) space harmonic,
