AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing water treatment systems for leachate use expensive constant volume pumps to transfer sludge, incurring high equipment and operational costs.
Method used
A transfer device with a discharge pipe connected to a storage section in the transfer pipe that extends above the liquid level, utilizing hydrostatic pressure for liquid transport, and switching members to control flow paths, eliminating the need for constant volume pumps.
Benefits of technology
Enables cost-effective and flexible liquid transport by leveraging hydrostatic pressure, reducing equipment and operational costs while ensuring quantitative transfer without the need for expensive pumps.

Abstract
To provide a transfer device that quantitatively transfers liquid to a destination without using expensive constant-volume pumps or similar equipment. [Solution] A transfer device 9 for transferring liquid from a storage tank 2 to a destination includes a discharge pipe 90 connected to the lower part of the storage tank 2 and a transfer pipe 91 that communicates with the destination and is connected to the discharge pipe 90. The transfer pipe 91 has a storage section 92 that can store liquid and extends above the liquid level of the liquid stored in the storage tank 2, with its upper end open to the atmosphere, from the position of the connection part B between the discharge pipe 90 and the transfer pipe 91. A switching member 93 is provided that can switch between a state in which the storage tank 2 and the transfer pipe 91 are connected and the flow of liquid to the destination is closed, and a state in which the connection between the storage tank 2 and the transfer pipe 91 is closed and the flow of liquid from the transfer pipe 91 to the destination is opened.
