Specification

Description:Field of the Invention


The present disclosure generally relates to fluid purification systems. Further, the present disclosure particularly relates to systems for capturing, filtering, and distributing fluids for optimal grounding performance.
Background
The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Various systems and techniques are known for handling and processing fluid substances in different applications. Such systems typically include mechanisms for capturing, filtering, and distributing fluid for further processing or disposal. Fluid capture and filtration systems are widely utilized in sectors such as environmental management, industrial processing, and civil engineering. These systems often serve to purify or treat fluid substances to meet quality standards before the fluid is either repurposed or disposed of.
Conventional fluid filtration systems often rely on various filtration membranes, filters, or sieving techniques. The use of filtration membranes is common for removing particulate matter from fluids. However, the efficiency of such systems can be significantly affected by the accumulation of particulate matter on the membrane. Continuous deposition of particulates frequently clogs the filtration membrane, requiring frequent maintenance and cleaning, which ultimately results in increased downtime and reduced efficiency.
Moreover, certain systems make use of sedimentation chambers or similar methods to facilitate the separation of particulate matter from the fluid. In such systems, gravitational settling is often employed to deposit heavier particles, while lighter particles may remain suspended within the fluid. However, these systems are often prone to inefficient sedimentation, especially when dealing with fluids containing fine particulate matter. Incomplete deposition can compromise the overall purity of the filtered fluid, thereby limiting the performance and longevity of downstream components such as earthing rods or distribution systems.
Furthermore, several systems employ fluid distribution elements to guide the processed fluid toward its intended destination, such as an earthing rod in electrical grounding systems. The effectiveness of fluid purity in enhancing grounding performance is well-known, and various techniques have been developed to improve fluid distribution. However, conventional distribution systems frequently experience difficulties in ensuring consistent and optimal fluid flow, especially when fluid quality is compromised by particulate contamination or improper filtration. Such inconsistencies can lead to poor grounding performance, which may result in electrical hazards or system inefficiencies.
In addition, certain state-of-the-art systems integrate multiple stages of filtration, sedimentation, and fluid distribution. However, these multi-stage systems often suffer from complex designs, high maintenance requirements, and inefficiencies in fluid flow and purification. Furthermore, the presence of multiple processing stages increases the chances of blockages and mechanical failures, further exacerbating operational downtime and associated costs.
In light of the above discussion, there exists an urgent need for solutions that overcome the problems associated with conventional systems and/or techniques for capturing, filtering, and distributing fluid substances to improve performance, reduce maintenance, and enhance the purity of fluid used in various applications.

As used herein, the term "system" is used to refer to an assembly of interconnected components working together to achieve a specific operation involving the collection, filtration, sedimentation, and distribution of a fluid substance. Such a system may include a combination of mechanical, fluidic, and structural elements, each contributing to the overall process of fluid handling and purification. The system is structured in such a manner that the flow of fluid is sequentially processed through various stages, starting with fluid collection and ending with distribution to a designated point, such as an earthing rod. The system may be used in a variety of applications, such as industrial fluid management, water purification, or chemical processing, depending on the nature of the fluid and the requirements of the operation. The system is scalable and adaptable, with the capacity to modify individual components to suit different operating conditions or fluid types. Said system is designed to maintain operational efficiency and integrity by facilitating seamless interaction between its components.
As used herein, the term "collection conduit" is used to refer to any structure capable of capturing and directing a fluid substance from a source. Such a collection conduit may include pipelines, channels, or tubes, which are positioned to gather fluid from a designated area. The collection conduit may vary in size and material, depending on the nature of the fluid being collected. Fluids may include water, chemicals, or gases. Additionally, the collection conduit may be connected to other components of the system for the purpose of processing the collected fluid. The collection conduit is essential for initiating the fluid flow process by gathering the fluid substance for subsequent filtration and treatment. Said collection conduit may incorporate materials suitable for withstanding environmental conditions and varying fluid pressures, ensuring that the fluid flows seamlessly through the system.
As used herein, the term "filtration membrane" is used to refer to a structure that separates particulate matter from a fluid passing through said membrane. Such a filtration membrane may be made of porous or semi-permeable material that allows fluids to pass while retaining suspended particles.

The sedimentation chamber enables heavier particles to settle at the bottom due to gravitational forces, thereby facilitating cleaner fluid output. The chamber may be equipped with drainage or collection points for removing the accumulated sediment periodically. Said sedimentation chamber may vary in shape and size based on the nature of the fluid and particulate load. The chamber's positioning and configuration are determined by the need to allow sufficient time and space for particulate matter to settle out from the fluid.
As used herein, the term "distribution element" is used to refer to a structure responsible for guiding the filtered fluid to its designated destination within the system. The distribution element is in fluid communication with the sedimentation chamber and directs the fluid to a secondary point, such as an earthing rod, where the fluid's final use or further treatment occurs. Such a distribution element may consist of pipes, tubes, or other fluid-conveying structures, which ensure that the fluid maintains an uninterrupted flow between components of the system. The distribution element is generally constructed from materials suitable for the nature of the fluid being handled, whether liquid or gas, and may include mechanisms for regulating flow rates and direction based on system requirements.
FIG. 1 illustrates a system (100), in accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, a collection conduit (102) is provided for capturing a fluid substance. The collection conduit (102) may include any conduit, pipe, channel, or structure capable of directing a fluid from a source to downstream components of the system. Such a collection conduit (102) may vary in material and dimensions based on the type of fluid being handled, such as water, chemicals, or gases. The collection conduit (102) may be constructed from metal, plastic, or other corrosion-resistant materials, depending on environmental factors and the fluid's properties. The collection conduit (102) may be installed above or below ground and may be used in fixed or mobile installations. Furthermore, said collection conduit (102) may be equipped with inlet valves or other control devices to regulate the entry of fluid into the system and ensure that a constant flow is maintained. Fluid passing through the collection conduit (102) is directed toward subsequent filtration components in the system.
In an embodiment, a filtration membrane (104) is fluidically aligned with the collection conduit (102) for removing particulate matter from the fluid stream. The filtration membrane (104) may consist of various materials, such as porous or semi-permeable layers, that allow the passage of the fluid while trapping unwanted particles. The porosity of the filtration membrane (104) can be selected based on the size of particulate matter expected in the fluid, ranging from large debris to fine sediment. The filtration membrane (104) may be replaceable or washable to maintain system performance and may be housed within a frame or other support structure to hold the membrane in place. Fluid from the collection conduit (102) passes through said filtration membrane (104), where particulates are removed before the fluid proceeds to the next stage of processing. The filtration membrane (104) may also be equipped with backflush mechanisms for cleaning and preventing blockages.
In an embodiment, a sedimentation chamber (106) intersects the filtration membrane (104) to facilitate the deposition of particulate matter from the fluid stream. The sedimentation chamber (106) may include a tank, basin, or similar container where fluid velocity is reduced, allowing heavier particles to settle to the bottom by gravity. The chamber may include sloped or conical bottoms for easier removal of settled particulates, which may be periodically cleaned or drained from the system. The sedimentation chamber (106) is designed to handle the volume and flow rate of the fluid, ensuring that sufficient time is provided for sedimentation to occur. The chamber may be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for the fluid being treated, and it may include monitoring devices to detect the accumulation of sediment. Fluid exiting the sedimentation chamber (106) is cleaner and ready for further distribution within the system.
In an embodiment, a distribution element (108) is in fluid communication with the sedimentation chamber (106) to guide the filtered fluid to an earthing rod or another designated output point. The distribution element (108) may consist of piping, channels, or other structures that maintain the fluid's flow from the sedimentation chamber (106) to its final destination. The distribution element (108) may incorporate valves or flow control mechanisms to regulate the flow rate and ensure that the fluid moves efficiently through the system. The material composition of the distribution element (108) may vary based on the nature of the fluid, such as non-corrosive materials for water or resistant alloys for chemical substances. The distribution element (108) may be insulated or protected to prevent contamination or leakage as the fluid is transported to the earthing rod.
In an embodiment, the collection conduit (102) is configured with an adjustable inlet aperture to regulate the flow rate of the fluid substance entering the system. Such an adjustable inlet aperture may include a mechanical or automated mechanism that adjusts based on fluid pressure or system demand. The aperture may be adjusted manually through a control valve or automatically using sensors that detect fluid flow characteristics. Said aperture allows fine-tuning of the fluid flow entering the filtration membrane (104), thereby providing controlled entry that prevents overwhelming the downstream components. The adjustable inlet aperture may be constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or plastic, which resist corrosion and wear from the fluid passing through it. The aperture may be positioned at the initial point of fluid collection to ensure that the fluid entering the system is controlled right from the source. The size and shape of said aperture can vary depending on the fluid being handled, which could include liquids, gases, or other substances. By allowing for precise control of the fluid flow rate, the adjustable inlet aperture helps maintain consistent filtration and prevents potential issues like clogging or overflow within the system.
In an embodiment, the filtration membrane (104) is longitudinally aligned with the collection conduit (102) to enhance fluid flow and filtration. The membrane is equipped with a series of micropores arranged in such a way that they capture particulate matter from the fluid substance as it moves through the system. The micropores may range in size depending on the particulate matter being filtered, with smaller pores designed to capture finer particles. The filtration membrane (104) may be constructed from materials such as polymer or metal mesh, which offer both durability and flexibility in terms of filtering efficiency. The longitudinal alignment ensures that fluid passes evenly across the entire surface of the membrane, promoting uniform filtration and reducing the risk of localized clogging. The micropores may be arranged in multiple layers to increase the filtration capacity, with each layer capturing progressively smaller particles. The fluid, after passing through said membrane, is substantially free of particulate matter and prepared for further processing in the sedimentation chamber (106). The microporous structure can be customized to accommodate specific filtration needs, such as removing specific contaminants or adjusting flow rates based on fluid properties.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) intersects the filtration membrane (104) at an angled orientation to promote the gravitational settling of particulates within the chamber. The angle of intersection is chosen to reduce the fluid velocity and allow heavier particles to settle at the bottom of the chamber. The sedimentation chamber (106) may be constructed from a material that is resistant to the fluid being processed, such as stainless steel, plastic, or concrete, and may include sloped walls or conical bases to facilitate the settling process. The chamber is positioned downstream of the filtration membrane (104), and the angle of orientation helps maintain a smooth flow transition from filtration to sedimentation. The particulates separated by the filtration membrane (104) enter the sedimentation chamber (106), where they are subjected to gravitational forces that draw them downward. The settled particulates may accumulate at the bottom of the chamber and be periodically removed through an integrated cleaning system or drainage valve. The fluid, after the particulates have settled, becomes clearer and is directed towards the distribution element (108) for further processing. The design of said sedimentation chamber (106) optimizes the sedimentation process by maximizing the contact time between the fluid and the chamber walls, thus improving the overall clarity of the fluid.
In an embodiment, the distribution element (108) is concentrically positioned relative to the sedimentation chamber (106), incorporating a weir structure that guides the filtered fluid in a controlled manner. The concentric positioning enables fluid to flow symmetrically from the chamber into the distribution element (108), ensuring a steady and uniform flow rate. The weir structure is designed to regulate the level of fluid within the chamber and direct the filtered fluid towards the earthing rod. The distribution element (108) may be constructed from non-corrosive materials, such as high-density polyethylene or stainless steel, to withstand the fluid passing through it. The weir structure may include adjustable components to control the height of the fluid and maintain consistent flow regardless of fluctuations in the fluid input. Additionally, the distribution element (108) may incorporate valves or flow meters to monitor and adjust the flow rate as necessary. The fluid, having passed through said weir structure, is delivered in a controlled and steady manner to the next stage of the system, ensuring optimal performance of downstream components such as the earthing rod.
In an embodiment, the filtration membrane (104) is coupled with an agitator unit disposed above the sedimentation chamber (106) to enhance fluid movement and prevent clogging. The agitator unit may include rotating blades or paddles that periodically disturb the fluid within the filtration membrane (104), ensuring that particulate matter does not accumulate excessively on the membrane surface. The agitation also helps to maintain an even flow of fluid through the micropores, preventing localized blockages that could reduce filtration efficiency. Said agitator unit may be powered by an external motor or hydraulic system, and the intensity of the agitation may be adjusted based on the fluid type and particulate load. The agitator unit operates intermittently or continuously, depending on the filtration requirements. The coupling of the agitator unit with the filtration membrane (104) ensures that the fluid remains in motion, promoting more effective filtration and extending the operational life of the membrane by reducing wear and tear. Additionally, the agitator helps in dislodging particles that may have adhered to the membrane, allowing them to be carried into the sedimentation chamber (106) for deposition.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) includes a baffle plate positioned transversely within the chamber to create a labyrinthine path for fluid flow. The baffle plate is designed to increase the settling time of particulate matter by forcing the fluid to change direction multiple times as it moves through the chamber. The baffle plate may be constructed from materials such as steel, plastic, or other corrosion-resistant materials that are compatible with the fluid being processed. The labyrinthine path created by said baffle plate slows down the fluid velocity, allowing more particulates to settle out of the fluid before it exits the chamber. The placement and size of the baffle plate can be adjusted depending on the flow rate and the characteristics of the fluid being treated. The extended settling time provided by the baffle plate enhances the efficiency of the sedimentation process, resulting in clearer fluid being directed towards the distribution element (108). The baffle plate may also include apertures or openings that allow for controlled flow through the different sections of the chamber, further improving the sedimentation process.
In an embodiment, the collection conduit (102) is further configured with a deflector shield at the inlet to prevent large debris from directly impacting the filtration membrane (104). The deflector shield may be positioned at the entry point of the collection conduit (102) and angled to divert large objects, such as leaves, rocks, or other debris, away from the membrane surface. Said deflector shield may be constructed from materials such as metal mesh, plastic, or other durable materials that can withstand impact from incoming debris. The shield helps protect the filtration membrane (104) from damage or clogging by intercepting large particles before they reach the membrane, ensuring that the fluid entering the system is primarily free of obstructions. The deflector shield may also be adjustable or removable for cleaning and maintenance purposes, allowing operators to ensure the system remains unobstructed. By incorporating such a deflector shield, the collection conduit (102) can handle a wider range of fluid sources, including those prone to containing large debris, without compromising the integrity of the filtration membrane (104).
In an embodiment, the distribution element (108) comprises a nozzle with a variable aperture that enables precise control of both the direction and flow rate of filtered fluid towards the earthing rod. The nozzle may be adjustable manually or automatically through sensors that detect the flow characteristics required by the system. The variable aperture may be controlled by mechanical or electronic means, allowing the operator to modify the fluid flow based on system needs. The nozzle may be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for the fluid being processed, such as stainless steel, plastic, or rubber. Said nozzle may include features that allow for a wide spray or concentrated jet of fluid, depending on the application, and may be used in industrial or environmental systems where controlled fluid distribution is critical. The adjustable aperture allows for greater precision in fluid handling, ensuring that the fluid reaches the earthing rod in the optimal amount and with the desired characteristics for proper grounding performance.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) is equipped with a drainage valve located at a lower end to allow for the periodic removal of accumulated particulates. The drainage valve is positioned at the lowest point of the chamber to facilitate the complete evacuation of settled sediment, preventing blockages or reduced flow within the system. The valve may be opened manually or automatically at regular intervals to release the accumulated particulates, ensuring that the chamber remains clean and operational. Said valve may be constructed from materials such as stainless steel, plastic, or other corrosion-resistant compounds, depending on the fluid type. The drainage valve may be designed to handle both liquid and solid waste, with features that prevent clogging during operation. The inclusion of a drainage valve extends the service life of the sedimentation chamber (106) by reducing the need for manual cleaning and maintenance, allowing for continuous and efficient fluid processing.
FIG. 2 illustrates sequential diagram of the system (100), in accordance with the embodiments of the present disclosure. The system (100) includes a collection conduit (102) configured to capture and direct a fluid substance. The fluid is then passed through a filtration membrane (104), which is fluidically aligned with the collection conduit (102) for removing particulate matter. Once filtered, the fluid enters a sedimentation chamber (106), which intersects the filtration membrane (104) and facilitates the gravitational deposition of particulates. Following sedimentation, the fluid is guided by a distribution element (108), which is in fluidic communication with the sedimentation chamber (106). The filtered fluid is then directed to an earthing rod, where the purity of the fluid is enhanced for optimal grounding performance within the system (100). Each component is sequentially connected to ensure the smooth processing of fluid from collection through to grounding.
In an embodiment, the collection conduit (102) captures the fluid substance and directs it into the system, initiating the fluid handling process. The conduit is responsible for collecting fluid from a designated source, which can vary depending on the application. Its design enables efficient fluid transfer into the subsequent components. The placement and configuration of the collection conduit (102) allow for effective alignment with other system elements, such as the filtration membrane (104), ensuring smooth fluid passage without unnecessary turbulence. By establishing a controlled fluid flow into the system, the collection conduit (102) reduces the potential for overflow or leakage, contributing to the overall operational integrity of the system. Additionally, the material selection of the conduit enables durability against various environmental factors and fluid types, ensuring long-term reliability in fluid capture.
In an embodiment, the filtration membrane (104) is fluidically aligned with the collection conduit (102) and performs the critical task of removing particulate matter from the fluid. Positioned downstream of the collection conduit (102), the filtration membrane (104) enables fluid to pass through while capturing impurities. The alignment between the membrane and the conduit supports uninterrupted fluid flow, minimizing pressure drops that could otherwise hinder filtration. The membrane's porosity can be designed to target specific particle sizes, thereby tailoring the filtration process to the requirements of the system. This step improves fluid purity before entering the sedimentation chamber (106), optimizing the performance of subsequent stages. The placement of the filtration membrane (104) not only contributes to effective particle removal but also enhances the overall fluid quality that is delivered further into the system.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) intersects the filtration membrane (104) and allows particulate deposition to occur by gravitational means. As fluid passes through the membrane and into the chamber, the design encourages heavier particles to settle to the bottom. The intersection point between the filtration membrane (104) and the sedimentation chamber (106) is strategically positioned to promote a smooth transition of fluid, ensuring minimal disturbance to the sedimentation process. The chamber's configuration supports effective particulate separation, with the gravitational force naturally driving particles downward for deposition. The design of the sedimentation chamber (106) minimizes the potential for suspended particles to remain in the fluid, thereby enhancing fluid clarity before it is directed to the distribution element (108). The chamber can be further optimized to accommodate varying particle sizes and densities, adjusting the sedimentation process accordingly.
In an embodiment, the distribution element (108) is in fluidic communication with the sedimentation chamber (106) and directs the filtered fluid to an earthing rod. The distribution element (108) guides the fluid after it has undergone filtration and sedimentation, ensuring it is appropriately channeled for grounding purposes. The fluidic connection between the sedimentation chamber (106) and the distribution element (108) is designed to prevent backflow and ensure a steady outflow of fluid. By maintaining consistent fluid movement, the distribution element (108) supports the system's overall operation and helps avoid fluid stagnation. Additionally, the material construction of said distribution element (108) is selected to withstand the nature of the fluid being transferred, preventing potential corrosion or degradation over time. This continuous fluid flow contributes to achieving optimal grounding performance with minimal interruption.
In an embodiment, the collection conduit (102) includes an adjustable inlet aperture that allows for regulation of the fluid flow rate into the system. The ability to adjust the aperture ensures controlled entry of fluid, preventing sudden influxes that could disrupt downstream components, particularly the filtration membrane (104). By providing variable flow control, the adjustable inlet aperture enables the system to adapt to different fluid sources or pressures without compromising filtration performance. The aperture may be manually or automatically adjusted based on system needs, optimizing the consistency of fluid flow through the filtration process. This mechanism reduces the likelihood of system overload and helps to maintain balanced fluid dynamics throughout the system, promoting more consistent and reliable operation across various conditions.
In an embodiment, the filtration membrane (104) is longitudinally aligned with the collection conduit (102) and consists of a series of micropores for capturing particulate matter. The longitudinal alignment between the conduit and the membrane allows for a streamlined fluid flow, preventing turbulence that could hinder filtration efficiency. The micropores are arranged to filter specific particle sizes, enhancing fluid clarity before it enters the sedimentation chamber (106). This pore arrangement provides a fine balance between allowing sufficient fluid passage while effectively trapping unwanted particulates. The continuous flow along the longitudinal axis of the filtration membrane (104) optimizes the membrane's surface area, ensuring maximum filtration capacity without compromising the flow rate. This alignment is particularly beneficial in systems requiring high levels of filtration precision, as it supports both high throughput and effective particulate removal.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) intersects the filtration membrane (104) at an angled orientation, promoting the gravitational settling of particulates. The angled configuration of the chamber relative to the filtration membrane (104) directs fluid at a specific trajectory, allowing particles to settle more effectively by leveraging gravitational forces. This orientation slows down fluid velocity within the chamber, ensuring that particles have adequate time to settle out of the fluid stream. The angled placement also improves the distribution of particulates across the chamber's base, preventing localized accumulation that could impede the sedimentation process. As a result, fluid clarity is optimized before it proceeds to the distribution element (108), enhancing overall system performance. The angled design of the chamber further contributes to reducing the frequency of maintenance, as sedimentation is evenly managed across the chamber's area.
In an embodiment, the distribution element (108) is concentrically positioned relative to the sedimentation chamber (106), incorporating a weir structure to maintain controlled fluid flow. The concentric positioning supports uniform fluid distribution, preventing uneven flow patterns that could disrupt the downstream processes. The integrated weir structure provides a controlled release of fluid, helping to manage the fluid level within the sedimentation chamber (106). This configuration ensures that only filtered fluid passes through to the distribution element (108), effectively maintaining system integrity. The weir's design can be adjusted to regulate flow rates, further contributing to the system's adaptability in various fluid handling scenarios. The concentric alignment also minimizes turbulence within the chamber, optimizing the clarity of fluid before it is guided towards the earthing rod.
In an embodiment, the filtration membrane (104) is coupled with an agitator unit positioned above the sedimentation chamber (106), which enhances fluid movement and prevents clogging. The agitator periodically stirs the fluid, dislodging any particulates that may have accumulated on the filtration membrane (104). This movement prevents clogging that could reduce filtration efficiency and extend the life of the membrane. The continuous agitation also helps distribute particulates more evenly into the sedimentation chamber (106), ensuring consistent particulate deposition. The agitator's interaction with the membrane optimizes the filtration process by maintaining consistent fluid flow across the membrane surface. Additionally, the prevention of clogging reduces the need for frequent manual maintenance, allowing the system to operate more reliably for extended periods.
In an embodiment, the sedimentation chamber (106) includes a baffle plate positioned transversely within the chamber, forming a labyrinthine path for fluid flow. The baffle plate increases the effective settling time for particulates by forcing the fluid to follow a more extended, indirect path through the chamber. This extended path enhances the separation of particulates from the fluid, allowing them to settle more thoroughly before the fluid reaches the distribution element (108). The transverse position of the baffle plate improves the flow dynamics within the chamber, preventing dead zones where particulates may otherwise accumulate. By increasing the contact time between the fluid and the sedimentation chamber (106), the baffle plate enhances the overall clarity of the fluid, contributing to mor
