In a method and an apparatus for aligning the ends of two submerged pipelines to be jointed, the apparatus which is equipped with means for displacing and aligning the pipe ends, is allowed to be displaced relative to the pipe ends and the bottom of the sea during the alignment operation. The restraining force developed when the displacement and alignment means are actuated, is used to displace the frame relative to the base and the pipe ends, so as to allow the frame and the pipe ends to adopt a final position in which the finished aligned pipe ends define a curve having the largest possible radius.

A disc press for continuous pressing of aqueous or suspended pulp for fractionating the pulp in a liquid fraction and a dry substance fraction, comprises two plane parallel pressing discs mounted for rotation about a shaft and having strainer plates which haul the pulp therebetween by friction. The press also comprises inner and outer pressing means extending between the pressing discs and together with the latter define a curved pulp passage which in the transport direction has a varying cross section and constitutes a filling or dewatering zone, a pressing zone and a discharge zone. The passage zones of the pulp passage combined extend throughout an angle which is less than 360.degree., and the filling or dewatering zone has an approximately constant cross section. The subsequent pressing zone (B) has a uniformly decreasing cross section, the centerline of the pressing zone following an arc having an approximately constant radius about the axis of rotation. The pressing zone of the pulp passage has an outer confining surface which is shaped as pivoted arm having a curved concave surface, the arm at its one end being mounted for swinging about a point at the start of the pressing zone and at its other end being connected to a power means in the form of an adjustable hydraulic cylinder which holds the arm with a predetermined force, and which when the pulp pressure in the press exceeds a predetermined value, will influence and displace the pivoted arm.

A method and apparatus for treating finely divided fibrous pulp with gas without overpressure in a continuous process. The bulk material is substantially continuously supplied to a reactor having one or more supporting floors having apertures of a shape and size which allow the finely divided material to form bridges across the apertures, said apertures also permitting a continuous flow of gas through the bulk material. The bulk material proceeds through the reactor as a consequence of the bridges being broken by breaking arms sweeping along the upper surface of the supporting floors.
