Assessomg the Performance of Secondary Settling Tank by Means of Flow Modeling

ABSTRACTA model of the double-decker rectangular settling tanks proposed for the Wastewater Treatment Plant of Besòs in Barcelona, Spain was prepared using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The modeling approach used was a three dimensional, multi-phase simulations with solids transport and removal included, and reflected the state of the art in clarifier modeling. Special attention was paid to ...

SaniTEE: an ideal septic tank wastewater screen

SaniTEE is an effluent wastewater screen (commonly known as an effluent filter) that reduces the gross suspended solids discharged in septic tank effluent. This helps extend the lives of drain fields, reduces clogging of orifices in effluent disposal systems, and allows use of non-solids handling effluent pumps. It is shown in Figure 1. It fits inside a standard septic tank outlet tee by dropping ...

Comparing the flow dynamics and particle settling in full-scale sedimentation tanks of different lengths

The efficiency of sedimentation is dependent on settling tank design and operation, where the streamlined solid–liquid separation results in water of safe potable quality. It is therefore important that the tank design and operation are sufficiently optimised. Sedimentation tanks are commonly overdesigned, leading to unwarranted capital expenditure, and overloading. This study used ...

Monroe Parallel Plate Modules increase oils and solids removal in existing API Separator

Challenge A silicone manufacturing plant was increasing capacity production and needed to increase the processing of the accompanying wastewater stream containing tramp oils and solids. If possible, the plant wanted to increase the efficiency and capacity of two existing 140,000-gallon API Separators to handle the additional wastewater. The plant required that the water be clean enough to ...

Modeling of Sedimentation in Stormwater Detention Basins

ABSTRACTTo minimize the non-point source pollution from roadway surface, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated a research project for design of a small footprint non-proprietary detention basin, which consists of pipes and box culvert sections with specialized inlet and outlet system. A conceptual model was developed to estimate particle removal efficiency of the rectangular ...

Super Size My Stormwater Treatment System, Please!

Many municipalities have vast areas of developed impervious acreage from which stormwater drains without any form of treatment. These drainage systems were designed decades ago, predating regulatory requirement for nonpoint source pollution control. Every year pollutants from these sites discharge high levels of sediment, nutrients, trash, and heavy metals into local waters, impairing usage, ...

Oil Skimmer makes oil/water separator more efficient

Industrial facilities depend on oil/water separators to separate oil from its waste water. While oil/water separators are a helpful component to a plant's wastewater system, oil/water separators traditionally do not provide an efficient method of removing oil once it has been separated from the waste stream. Traditionally, the separator industry has either used overflow skimmer pipes or weirs, or ...

Cleaner Production Changes - Plenty to Crow About: Joe`s Poultry Processors

By implementing a number of simple measures recommended by consultants, Joe’s Poultry has been able to save $54,000 with an overall payback period of less than 4 months. Through these measures, electricity and gas consumption has been reduced by 16 and 15 percent respectively. Water consumption has been cut by 8.8kL per day. Other measures, if implemented, could produce savings of almost $1 ...

RP18 as a Filter case study

More than just an adsorbent fabric, RP18's special design qualities make it a good filter too. The construction of RP18 is such that there is a large amount of free space which allows water to pass through whilst retaining the oil. This has been illustrated also in 'A method for Cleaning Foreshores' case study. This fabric is useful where water flows are high and the amount of oil retained is ...

Inland diesel spill case study

Introduction In January 2000 an oil spill occurred in the North of England. It was estimated up to 30,000 litres of diesel fuel had escaped the fuel storage tanks of a major factory due to a burst pipe. Fortunately most of the spilled oil found its way to a nearby drainage facility owned by the local Water Authority. Due to neglect the drainage outlet pipe that feeds ...

Balancing growth and conservation - Precast concrete manholes become part of the stormwater solution

When American Fork, Utah, decided to approve construction of a 175-acre commercial center, the city engineers had to consider the environmental effect it would have on a 45-acre wetland right next door. Under the EPA´s Phase II Storm Water Rules, adapted in late 1999, almost any city large enough to require a storm sewer system must balance growth with the environmental impacts of ...

Closures of mine a new challenge for Romania

AbstractThe mining activity is one of the oldest activity in Romania, dating from the year 100 B.C. The gold and silver ores represented one of the riches of our country. In time the economic content of metals diminuend, and the ore mines become non profitable. Due to this situation the best option of the State was the closure and ecological rehabilitation of the mines.The steps for the ...
