PD CEN/TR 16456:2013CEN/TR 16456:2013 (E) 5 Introduction Sludge processing train is a major problem in water and wastewater treatment, as it can account for up to 50 % of total operating costs. The effectiveness and cost of sludge treatment and disposal operations are strongly affected by it

18、s volume and, consequently, by its water content or solids concentration. Thickening and dewatering are therefore important steps in the total sludge processing train and have serious impact on subsequent operations. For illustration, Figure 1 shows the existing solutions for sludge water content re

37、ning / dewatering systems 4.1 Thickening devices 4.1.1 General Thickening devices enable the removal of free water from sludge. They are based on: natural (static) forces; artificial forces. Thickening presents the following advantages: reduction of sludge volume with low energy consumption; reducti

38、on of storage capacities and volumes for subsequent treatment; reduction of transport costs; improvement of performance of dewatering machines; decrease in quantity of chemicals for dewatering in some cases. This section discusses the most commonly used devices for thickening. 4.1.2 Devices based on

39、 natural forces (gravity) 4.1.2.1 General The principle of gravity thickening relies on sludge settling under the effect of gravitational forces. It enables the raising of the concentration of a suspension through sedimentation to produce a thickened sludge with a relatively clear liquid as overflow

40、. Thickeners can be designed to operate in either the batch or continuous mode. Sludge thickening can be achieved in clarifiers or separate thickeners which provide for a greater sludge storage capacity. 4.1.2.2 Gravity thickener The traditional gravity thickener (Figure 4) comprises a relatively sh

41、allow, open top cylindrical/rectangular tank with either a flat bottom or a bottom shaped in the form of an inverted cone. The feed mixture is gently and continuously introduced to the feedwell. The supernatant is removed via an annular weir at the top of the unit and sludge solids are removed from

42、a well at the bottom. Slowly rotating rakes mounted on a central shaft aid the thickening process by directing thickened solids towards the well for subsequent discharge and by creating channels to release further liquid from the sludge. Tanks with a diameter smaller than 25 m are usually formed fro

43、m steel and have bottoms with an angle usually less than 10 equipped with rake arms. Larger tanks between 25 m and 200 m diameter are normally PD CEN/TR 16456:2013CEN/TR 16456:2013 (E) 12 made from a combination of concrete and steel and employ rakes designed to match the angle of the conical bottom

It is a rectangular tank containing a series of closely spaced rectangular plates

45、 inclined at an angle of higher than 50 to the horizontal. Commercial designs provide three flow patterns, cross-flow, parallel flow and the most common counterflow where the feed and supernatant flows can be most simply arranged. The choice of a lamella separator is mainly related to the concentrat

46、ion of the input sludge. 4.1.2.3 Deep cone thickener A deep cone thickener (Figure 5) has the same operation principle as a conventional circular gravity thickener but the slopes of the bottom are far steeper and have an angle in the region of 37. Units are available with diameters of up 15 m. A rak

The particles float to the water surface and are remo

49、ved with skimmers. The most common device is dissolved air flotation (Figure 6) which uses pressurised air 300 kPa to 600 kPa and dissolves it in pressurised water. The pressure is then suddenly released to form small bubbles with a diameter of 40 m to 80 m. Bubbles are mixed with sludge (direct flotation) or with sludge diluted by underflow water (indirect flotation). Other systems are also used: vacuum flotation thickeners employ air that is dissolved at atmospheric pressure followed by a pressure drop to allow the formation of
