Basics of Chemical Treatment

Chemical treatment is still an essential component in many water and wastewater treatment schemes. The general purposes of the chemical treatment are: removal of suspended solids (turbidity) from the water; pH adjustment; removal dissolved material in the water; improve water quality. The Basic of Chemical Treatment that Filter Innovations Inc. provides, is: - pH adjustments and control - Coagulation / Flocculation - Precipitation - Clarification

Basics of Chemical Treatment

When to use a Chemical Treatment System To meet the local water discharge requirements, and save the customer money in sewer charges or water removal charges To provide a quality of water required for the process Recovery of valuable product Remember: the smaller the particle the longer it takes to settle 0.0001mm diameter particles take 4 months to settle 10 What can be done using a chemical Treatment Systems Removal of suspended solids from the water (Turbidity) pH adjustment Remove dissolved material in the water Improve water quality Remove?????

pH Adjustment

pH is a measure of the activity of hydrogen ions (H+) in solution and, therefore, its acidity or alkalinity pComponents in the system ppH meter pReagent material (NaOH, H2 SO4 ) pMixing apparatus (Prop, Static)
pRea gent introduction (Metering Pump) pMixing Vessel

Why do we need to do this pPrecipitate components pMake secondary process more efficientpH meter pMake the pH neutral for disposal

Coagulation

Coagulants neutralize the repulsive electrical charges (typically negative) surrounding particles allowing them to stick together creating clumps or flocs. pComponents in the system pFlow meter pCoagulant material pMixing apparatus (Prop, Pump, Static) pCoagulant introduction (Metering Pump) pMixing Vessel Why do we need to do this pDestabilize the electrostatic repulsion pMake following steps more efficientl

Slide 7

Flocculation

Flocculants facilitate the agglomeration or aggregation of the coagulated particles to form larger floccules. Components in the system pFlow meter pPolymer material pMixing apparatus (Prop, Pump, Static) pPolymer introduction (Metering Pump) pMixing Vessel Why do we need to do this pMake the components to be removed flocculate and make it easier to remove from the clean water. Bigger particles get filtered easier pMake clarification efficient Buoyant Floc

Chemical Testing

Easy performed by Filter Innovations to optimise and determine the right mixture of pH Adjustments, Coagulants and Flocculant chemicals to ensure a trouble free system. Requirements: pRepresentative sample of water to be treated, 5 gallons minimum for testing pWater lab test report pWater quality discharge requirements pFlow rate in final system pOperetor involvement requirements

Clarifying the Wastewater

Once the water has been effectively pH Adjusted, Coagulated and Flocked the resulting sludge and clean water must be separated to finish the process. How to achieve pGravity pBuoyancy pFiltered

Slide 10

Slant Plate Clarifier (Lamalla)

pUtilizing gravity to separate solids in wastewater is the most energy efficient pSlant plate is used to decrease the distance a particle has to fall before it hits a surface pThe flow rate of the clarifier is based on the particle density, surface area, fall rate, loading and temperature.

DAF Dissolved oxygen Aeration Flotator

In certain cases when sludge is less dense than water, or neutrally buoyant, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is used in Chemical Treatment System. p p

Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR) vs. Conventional Activated Sludge Treatment

DAF utilizes billions of micro bubbles that attach themselves to the flock and rise to the surface. These bubbles are known as whitewater. DAF unit requires a mechanical skimmer to remove floating sludge. Although, DAF unit needs more power to run comparing with gravity settling clarifier, it is efficient when used in the right environment.

Slide 13

Particulate Removal Filters

pWhen sludge after coagulation/flocculation treatment is not desired and consists of the very sensitive flocks, Filter Innovation offers following products as bag filters, self indexing filter, cartridge filters or filter press, which support higher filtration requirements. pAfter sludge/water separation, if further polishing is required, water is pumped into the vessels with specialty media and/or activated carbon.

MBR - Wastewater Treatment

Depending on applications MBR can be presented by different kinds of aggregates Whole membrane filtration system includes: Membrane filters (membrane & support frame) Permeate withdrawal system Air scouring blower system Permeate & mixed liquor recirculation pumps Membrane cleaning system Programmable logic controllers (PLCs)

Membrane filters are submerged into the treated water. The filtrate is drawn through and out of the filters by the slightly negative pressure of only 0.1 bar (0.47 psig)
