Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018094224A1] This disclosure describes a biochemical reactor. The biochemical reactor may include a tank configured to house immobilized carriers and fluid. The biochemical reactor may include a circulation conduit at least partially disposed within the tank. The biochemical reactor may include one or more vanes configured to cause the immobilized carriers and the fluid exiting a circulation outlet opening to enter into a helical pattern. The biochemical reactor may include an unclogging pipe configured to clear clogging of the circulation conduit. Clearing clogging of the circulation conduit may include directing a pressurized flow of air to the circulation conduit via the unclogging pipe. The biochemical reactor may include one or more side nozzles configured to induce a tangential flow of fluid within the tank. The biochemical reactor may include an immovable feed conduit having a feed outlet. The feed outlet may be disposed between a first end and a circulation inlet opening. The biochemical reactor may include a tank inlet configured for feeding fluid into the tank. The biochemical reactor may include a tank outlet configured for drawing fluid from the tank. The biochemical reactor may include a first divider and a second divider. The tank inlet may be disposed between the first divider and the second divider. The second divider may include a support structure including a grating configured to withstand variable loads.
