Sludge must be pre-conditioned with polymer before it is sent to a gravity belt thickener. This conditioned sludge is applied to the belt traveling 2-10 ft/min. This belt speed can vary, depending on the device.
Sludge flows into the thickening tank, and eventually, it removes excess water from the solids collecting at the bottom. A gravity thickener has a similar process to the tanks, but it has a sloped design so that solids collect at the base. Dissolved-air flotation is another type of sludge-thickening process. Small air particles attach to the ...

Applying polymer prior to a thickening or dewatering process is also called conditioning. Conditioning with polymer is often a requirement for the thickening or dewatering equipment to successfully operate. POLYMER TYPE. Polymer is supplied in three different forms: • Dry (Powder) Polymer (Figure 4) o Typically contains up to . 90% active ...
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) provides thickening of sludges (i.e. thickens the sludge) by encouraging the solids to float to the surface, rather than allowing them to sink as in gravity thickening.
The operation of the thickener must accommodate fluctuations – control for disturbances – in the process feed stream to deliver a clear overflow and thickened underflow. This control is …
PHOENIX HiFlo™ High Rate Thickeners clarify wash plant effluent water while thickening the slurry to 40-45% solids, greatly reducing the underflow slurry rate to the slurry pond. PHOENIX Thickeners use sedimentation technology to maximize the water recovery rate, providing clarified overflow water that can be recycled and reused in the process.
The main objective of used water treatment is to reduce the pollution load on receiving waters. As a rule, used water treatment consists of a preliminary and three different, subsequent levels of treatment for the removal of harmful contaminants (Fig. 1).During the preliminary treatment of used water, different coarse materials and grit are …
The optimum polymer dosage was found to be 20 g/t based on test results for a 10% solid ratio. All utilized polymers, with the exception of the nonionic polymer, achieved turbidity values of less than 20 NTU when used at this dose. At a polymer dose of 20 g/t, the desired high precipita-tion rate values were obtained with only two polymers
Dissolved air flotation (Section 7.18) is sometimes used in waterworks sludge thickening (Haubry, 1983). Each thickener should have a dedicated feed pump of the progressive cavity type.
