Development of New Compact Water Treatment System for Flue-Gas Condenser for Households

Abstract

This work is a continuation of the article “Methods for Determining the Performance and Efficiency Parameters of the Flue-gas Condenser Sedimentation Tank”. During the experimental determination of Particulate Matter (PM) physical parameters, a described methodology was used. The results obtained affected the choice of water purification technology. Sedimentation technology was selected but provided that a filter element should be present in the installation. The article describes the types of industrial sedimentation tanks used more often. In condition that the system should be compact, while at the same time the purification efficiency rate should be high, the new suitable design of the water treatment system was developed.

A New Approach to Water Treatment: Investigating the Performance of Compact Particulate Matter Collector for Use in Compact Flue Gas Condenser

“…The flow rate and initial PM concentration range were selected based on historical FU laboratory research [11], [12]. The author's previous article mentioned the reason for the chosen pore size of the CPMC prototype filter element: the limitations of 3D printing allowed the minimum hole size of 2 mm [13]. The modification consists of a removable filter sieve made of nylon with a pore size of 0.149 mm.…”

“…Only now, the compact sedimentation tank still needs to fulfil its function as effectively as expected, as there is water circulation in the FU system and insufficient time for sedimentation. To solve this problem, the authors have invented Compact Particulate Matter Collector (CPMC) [13]. The principle of CPMC operation is based on sedimentation and filtration methods.…”
