Abstract:Secondary clarifiers are a critical element in a wastewater treatment process. They provide an important gravity thickening function for the mixed liquor (ML) to produce thickened return biological solids to aeration basins and to prevent solids loss to the final effluent. For many wastewater treatment facilities, secondary clarifiers are often the bottle neck of the treatment system. The peak capacity of the clarifiers is impacted by many factors, such as system biomass inventory, ML settling characteristics,… Show more
