Effluent Treatment Plants
are used for cleaning and treating the effluents and recycle these
effluents so that these can be used further. These effluents are
released by various industries in the water bodies. These plants operate
based on a series of processes. The raw effluents is passed to the
launder from there it moves on to the distribution chamber. The launder
helps to flow the gas scrubber effluents to the distributing chamber
with the help of self cleaning velocity. The velocity which helps the
sludge to flow so that it does not get collected in the launder is known
as self cleaning velocity.
The flow of the effluents is divided in the distribution chamber into two equal flows. There would be no distribution if one of the thickeners is closed so based upon this criteria pipes are chosen. The sizes of the gates always facilitate equal distribution. From the distribution chamber it passes off to the two flash mixers. The coagulant flash mixer consisting of alum works on the sludge and helps the suspended solids to settle down. Lime raises the pH of sludge because the required pH of sludge is 7 to 9. The process of coagulation becomes fast because the flocculants or the polyelectrolytes work upon it. From the flash mixer it passes to the clarifier and there from the clean water the treated slurry is separated. The clean water flows on the top and sludge settles down. The clean water passes to the cooling tower where it is recycled and cooled. The sludge is extracted from the clarifier by the racker arm. The racker arm is automatically lifted up if the height of the sludge goes higher and then the sludge is settled down along with it.
Then the sludge is pumped to the sludge tank. In sludge tank, the settlement of sludge is prevented and so it is agitated continuously. The sludge tank is mainly used for transferring the sludge into the filter press and also for holding the sludge. The filter press feed pump pumps the sludge from the sludge tank to the filter press for the purpose of dewatering. Different types of filters are used for this purpose which include gravity belt filters, gravity setters, centrifuges, pressure belt or vacuum filters and filter press. The most economical and efficient among these is the filter press. High pressure filtration is present in other filtration systems. The filter press only has both efficient filter cake removal systems and high pressure capability.
