    Clarifier

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses clarifiers, which are used to separate suspended solids from liquids like raw water or sewage water. Clarifiers work through the principles of particle settling, where particles are acted upon by forces like gravity, fluid drag, and buoyancy that determine their settling velocity. Key factors that influence clarifier performance include the surface overflow rate, the clarifier surface area, and its depth. Clarifiers contain mechanisms to remove settled solids that are durable and efficient with benefits like flexible configurations and low maintenance costs.

    CLARIFIER

    ABOUT CLARIFIER

     The requirement of clarifier arises for the


    separation of suspended solids from liquid;
    eg: raw water, sewage water, waste water etc
     The term ‘clarification’ means settling.
    PRINCIPLES OF SETTLING

     Forces acting on particles


     Particle settling velocity
     Types of settling
     Surface overflow rate, surface area and depth
    of tank
    FORCES ACTING ON THE PARTICLES

     Gravity
     Overflow up velocity
     Drag force by fluid
     Buoyancy – pushing by water being displaced

    Fbuoyancy +
    Fgravity Particle
    Fdrag +
    Foverflow
    PARTICLES SETTLING VELOCITY
    TYPES OF SETTLING

     Discrete – Non-sticky particles, eg: grit


     Flocculent – Sticky particles, eg: primary
    solids
     Hindered – Concentrated Flocs, eg: mixed
    liquor sludge
     Compressive – Sludge, eg: return actived
    sludge
    SURFACE OVERFLOW RATE

     SOR = Q0/A,
     Q0 – Clarifier Overflow
     A – Clarifier Area
     Typical operating SOR = 16 to 32 m3/m2day
    SURFACE AREA AND DEPTH OF TANK

     Non-sticky particles – surface area is


    important.
     Sticky particles – both depth and surface area
    are important.
     Activated sludge blanket – surface area is
    important, depth may be important.
    CLARIFIER MECHANISM

     Clarifier mechanism are driven by high torque


    drive unit that have corrosion resistant and
    precision rating superior to any drive and
    exceed industry’s standards.
    PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

     Foundation plates, gearbox, electric motor


     Drives with CI gears, pulleys, chain & belts
    etc.
     MS platform
     Lifting arrangement
     MS Scrapper Plate
     Central bearing housing & slip ring assembly
    BENEFITS

     Flexible configurations
     Easy installations
     Gear drive capability
     Operating speed flexibility
     Simple in operation
     Efficiently operating mechanism
     Easy mobility
     Less maintenance, low capital & operational cost
