Operation

1. The waste stream enters the pH Neutralization Tank first. Chemicals are added to this tank to adjust the pH between 8 and 9.

2. The pH adjusted waste stream is pumped into the Polymer Blend Tank where polymer is added.

3. The Lamella discharges clarified waste water (effluent). The metal hydroxides settle to the bottom of the inclined plate settler inside the Lamella.

4. From the bottom of the Lamella, sludge is pumped to the Sludge Thickener Tank.

5. The sludge enters the Filter Press for dewatering and compression into a cake.

Automatic Design

The system operates automatically. Once hooked up to the process tank and programmed for your application, the unit monitors the bath chemistry while continuously filtering the suspended solids from the solution. The PLC computes the bath needs and doses the appropriate chemicals to satisfy the demand. The operating software provides continuous information about the system and the condition of the solution. The software notifies the operator of any abnormal conditions.

The system is designed to meet pH, heavy metals, solids, and other discharge limits.

The system is shipped as modular components for assembly at your plant.
