A structure at a sewage treatment plant for separating sludge from clearer waste water.
(also called Coagulant or Flocculant): A chemical that coagulates and neutralizes suspended articles in water. There are two types: inorganic salts of aluminum or iron, and water-soluble organic polyelectrolyte polymers.
chemical used to remove haze from water. Usually works by causing small particles to join together so the filter can pick them up.
A machine used for a liquid-sludge separation in which the particles with a higher specific gravity are separated form the lower specific gravity of the liquid. A clarifier bowl has one outlet for the light phase oil; the heavier phase particles are retained on the bowl wall.
A system of underground tanks engineered to dissipate waste water, acids and other harmful agents prior to disposal into sewer or septic tank.
(sedimentation basin) A tank in which quiescent settling occurs, allowing solid particles suspended in the water to agglomerate and settle to the bottom of the tank. The solids resulting from the settling being removed as a sludge.
a class of polymer based products that act on suspended, insoluble particles and organic debris and coagulate or clump them together, for easier and more efficient filtration. Some particles, especially dead algae, might otherwise pass right through some filters. Used in conjunction with proper pool or spa water chemistry and sanitizer levels, these products help produce sparkling, crystal clear water and help eliminate water clarity problems.
A tank or basin that is used to remove suspended solids through gravity settling.
a chemical used as a coagulant of suspended microparticles
a stronger shampoo designed to remove toxins from you hair such as auto emissions and other environmental pollutants, as well as build up from some ingredients in over the counter shampoos such as silicon
Settling Tank, Sedimentation Basin. A tank or basin in which wastewater is held for a period of time, during which the heavier solids settle to the bottom and the lighter material will float to the water surface.
Vessel where particulate matter of higher density than the surrounding liquid is separated and removed from the liquid by gravitational settling.
a vessel in which solids settle out of water by gravity during drinking water treatment processes.
A tank used to hold wastewater while heavier solid material settles to the bottom and lighter material floats to the top. The heavier material (biosolids) is removed from the tank for treatment.
A settling tank used to remove suspended solids by gravity settling. Commonly referred to as sedimentation or settling basins, they are usually equipped with a motor driven chain and flight or rake mechanism to collect settled sludge and move it to a final removal point.
Also called coagulant or flocculants - A chemical compound used to gather (coagulate or agglomerate), or to precipitate suspended particles so vacuuming or filtration may remove them. The are two types; inorganic salts of aluminum (alum) or water- soluble organic polyelectrolytes.
A tank or basin in which wastewater is held for a period of time, during which the heavier solids (referred to as sludge) settle to the bottom and any lighter materials present (referred to as scum) float to the water surface.
A substance used to remove or prevent chill haze.
Chemical used to coagulate or precipitate particles suspended in the water so they can be vacuumed or filtered out. 2 types include organic salts and alum.
A product added to the water that coagulates particles and enables the filter to more easily capture them.
A tank used to purify water, in which solids settle to the bottom by gravity and are subsequently removed as sludge.
A product that causes microscopic particles in the water to cluster so filtration can remove them, clearing dull or cloudy water and making it sparkle.
equipment used to remove contaminant from MRF.
Chemical used to remove haze from water. Particulate matter in suspension needs to clump to be filtered or vacuumed out.
Also called a coagulant or flocculant. A chemical compound used to coagulate, clump or precipitate suspended microparticles so they can be removed by vacuuming or filtration. There are two main types; inorganic salts of aluminum (alum), or organic polyelectrolytes.
A chemical compound used to gather or to precipitate suspended particles so they may be removed by vacuuming or filtration. There are two types: inorganic salts of aluminum (alum) or water-soluble organic polyelectrolytes. Often referred to as a coagulant or flocculent.
Any pool chemical added with the purpose of eliminating particles suspended in the water and thus making pool water clearer.
A large circular or rectangular tank or basin in which water is held for a period of time, during which the heavier suspended solids settle to the bottom.
A chemical that helps clear cloudy water, by coagulating small particles in the water into larger groups of particles. This allows them to more easily be removed by the filter.
