The Method of Calculations of the Sedimentation Efficiency in Tanks with Lamella Packets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper outlines a method to determine the sedimentation efficiency in modernized tanks with incorporated lamella packets. The method takes into account the properties of the suspension (density, viscosity, solid phase distribution) and tank design parameters – flow intensity and settling surface. Several types of grain size distributions are considered: the log-normal distribution and generalised gamma distribution. The sedimentation efficiency is investigated in relation to the ratio of tank filling with lamella packets. The lamella ring width in a round Dorr clarifier is taken as an example. The analysis is performed by way of computer simulations. The applied calculation procedure was extensively verified in laboratory tests, pilot tests and industrial-scale tests (Kowalski 2000) and the obtained results were regarded as satisfactory. The error involved in calculations of the sedimentation efficiency is less than 0.05 when the efficiency value exceeds 0.8.

Presence of salts in water has been one of the biggest problems of industrial equipment such as evaporators, boilers, and pipes. These salts gradually form scales on evaporators and boilers tubes and reduce their efficiency. Pretreatment processes are conducted to remove these salts; with sedimentation tanks being one of the essential equipment used in these processes. This study numerically si...

In the past years, lamella settlers have been used as devices for treatment by sedimentation also for storm water. Instead of just equipping a sedimentation basin with numerous lamella modules, an innovative approach for traditional separate systems is proposed. Basically, storm water is stored in a basin or tank during a rain event, while treatment is done in a small but continuously operated ...
