Suctioning device for travelling a tank bottom
First Claim
1. A suctioning device for travelling a bottom of a tank containing water, which suctions a water flow with flocculated particles in order to accomplish filtration of the water of said tank, comprising:
- a structural frame having a means of coupling to a pump system, wherein the structural frame comprises at least one cord connected to the structural frame;
a means of wheeling with a horizontal axle for moving around the bottom of the tank, wherein the means of wheeling are pivotably connected through pivotable connectors to the structural frame so that the means of wheeling are configured to move vertically independent of the structural frame, such that the means of wheeling adapts to prominences in the bottom of the tank;
a means of rotative sliding with a vertical axle for adjacent displacement to walls of the tank;
a means of suctioning including a plurality of suction lines; and
a means of cleaning;
wherein the at least one cord fastens the means of suctioning and the means of cleaning to the structural frame.

Abstract
The present invention comprises an efficient filtration process of water from a tank, where the filtration is performed over a small volume of water and not on the totality of the water from the tank; the process comprises the following steps: (a) emitting ultrasonic waves in the tank; (b) adding a flocculant agent to the water; (c) covering the tank bottom with a suctioning device which suctions a water flow with flocculated particles, discharging to a collecting effluent line; (d) filtering the effluent flow of the suctioning device from said collecting effluent line; and (e) returning the filtered flow to the tank. The present invention additionally comprises a suctioning device used in said efficient filtration process.
