Upgrading flocculation tanks, settling tanks and clarifiers at the water treatment plants

Summary

The methods of improving the design of flocculation tanks, settling tanks and clarifiers with floc blanket based on the use of thin-layer – recirculating flocculation and thin-layer precipitation processes are presented. When employed in new construction the footprint of the facilities is reduced 2–3 times; whereas during the upgrade of the existing facilities their capacity increases together with water quality improvement and reduction of chemical consumption. The design of thin-layer self-cleaning modules manufactured in bulk in the form of polyethylene honeycomb blocks of polyethylene film more than 250–300 μm thick is presented. The positive long-term experience of operating the upgraded facilities located at the public, industrial and power water plants that are purifying natural water of different quality and using different treatment technologies was consolidated.
