Sewage treatment plants are facilities designed to treat wastewater from domestic, commercial, and industrial sources. The treatment process involves removing contaminants and pollutants from the water to make it safe for discharge into the environment or for reuse.The treatment of sewage typically involves four main stages:

• Primary Treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant
• Secondary Treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant
• Tertiary Treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant
• Sludge Treatment in Sewage Treatment Plant

An Automatic Pressure Sand Filter is a type of water filtration system designed to remove suspended solids, turbidity, and sometimes iron and manganese from water, operating with minimal manual intervention. It's a crucial component in many water and wastewater treatment plants, both industrial and domestic.

Here's a breakdown of its description, working principle, components, and applications:

An Automatic Pressure Sand Filter typically consists of a closed, cylindrical pressure vessel (usually made of mild steel, FRP, or stainless steel) filled with multiple layers of graded filter media, primarily sand and gravel. The term "automatic" refers to its ability to perform the backwash cycle (cleaning the filter media) automatically, triggered by a pre-set condition such as a differential pressure across the filter bed or a timed cycle.

1. Filtration Cycle (Service Cycle):

   • Untreated water (influent) enters the top of the pressure vessel and flows downwards through the filter media layers.

      

   • Suspended solids and other particulate matter are trapped within the pore spaces of the sand and gravel layers. The finer sand at the top captures smaller particles, while the coarser layers below provide support and prevent media loss.

      

   • Clean, filtered water (effluent) exits from the bottom of the filter.

      

   • As filtration progresses, the accumulated particles form a "filter cake" on top and within the media, increasing the resistance to flow and causing a pressure drop across the filter bed.

      

2. Backwash Cycle (Cleaning Cycle):

   • When the pressure drop reaches a pre-set limit (or after a specific time interval), the automatic control system initiates the backwash cycle.

   • The flow of raw water is stopped.

   • Water (and sometimes air) is introduced from the bottom of the filter, flowing upwards through the media.

   • This upward flow fluidizes the filter bed, expands it, and lifts the trapped dirt and suspended solids.

   • The dirty backwash water is then discharged to a drain or a separate treatment system.

   • The backwash typically continues until the discharged water runs clear, indicating that the media is clean.

3. Rinse Cycle (Settling/Compaction):

   • After backwash, a brief rinse cycle is performed. Water flows downwards (or sometimes upwards then downwards) to re-settle and re-compact the filter media layers, ensuring proper stratification and preventing media loss. This water is also typically sent to drain initially.

   • Once the media is settled, the filter is returned to service

• Aesthetic Issues: Reddish-brown (iron) or black (manganese) staining on fixtures, laundry, and dishes.

• Taste and Odor: Metallic taste in drinking water.

• Clogging: Deposits can build up in pipes, appliances, and water heaters, reducing efficiency and lifespan.

• Bacterial Growth: Iron and manganese provide nutrients for certain bacteria (iron bacteria) that can form slime and contribute to odors and taste issues.

Iron Removal Filter Plants are widely used for groundwater sources (borewells, wells) where iron and manganese are naturally occurring contaminants.

• Ferrous Iron (Fe²⁺) / Manganous Manganese (Mn²⁺): In groundwater, which is often anoxic (lacking oxygen), iron and manganese typically exist in their dissolved, soluble, and colorless forms. This is why water directly from a well might appear clear, but turns cloudy, yellow, or black upon exposure to air.

• Ferric Iron (Fe³⁺) / Manganic Manganese (Mn⁴⁺): When exposed to oxygen (either from the air or through chemical oxidation), ferrous iron oxidizes to insoluble ferric iron (reddish-brown precipitate), and manganous manganese oxidizes to insoluble manganic manganese (black precipitate). These insoluble forms can then be physically filtered out.

Most effective iron removal systems involve a multi-step process:

1. Oxidation: This is the crucial first step. The dissolved ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) and manganous manganese (Mn²⁺) must be converted into their insoluble particulate forms (Fe³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺) so they can be filtered. Common oxidation methods include:

   • Aeration: Water is sprayed or cascaded to expose it to air, introducing oxygen. This is a natural and cost-effective method for moderate iron levels and sufficient contact time.

   • Chlorination: Dosing with chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) is a strong oxidant, effective for higher concentrations of iron and manganese, and also provides disinfection.

   • Potassium Permanganate Dosing: A very strong oxidant, often used for higher manganese levels, or when chlorine is undesirable.

   • Ozonation: Ozonation rapidly oxidizes iron and manganese and also disinfects the water.

   • Catalytic Media: Some filter media (e.g., Manganese Dioxide, Green

An MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) based STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) is a highly effective and popular choice for treating domestic wastewater due to its efficiency, compactness, and robustness. It's a type of biological treatment process that leverages both suspended growth (like activated sludge) and attached growth (like trickling filters) principles.

The core of an MBBR system lies in its biofilm carriers (also called media). Here's a breakdown of the typical process:

1. Preliminary Treatment:

   • Screening: Raw sewage first passes through screens to remove large debris like rags, plastics, and other solid waste that could damage pumps or clog the system.

   • Grit Removal: A grit chamber removes heavier inorganic particles like sand and gravel.

   • Equalization Tank (Optional but Recommended): This tank helps to balance the flow and characteristics of the incoming sewage, preventing shock loads to the biological treatment unit.

2. Biological Treatment (MBBR Reactor): This is the heart of the MBBR system.

   • Aeration Tank (Reactor): The pre-treated sewage flows into one or more MBBR aeration tanks. These tanks are filled with thousands of small, specially designed plastic carriers (media). These carriers are typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and have a large internal surface area.

   • Biofilm Formation: Microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa, etc.) naturally attach to the surface of these carriers and grow to form a thin, biological layer called a biofilm.

   • Continuous Movement: An aeration system (typically fine bubble diffusers at the bottom of the tank) provides oxygen for the aerobic microorganisms and also keeps the carriers constantly agitated and in motion. This continuous movement ensures optimal contact between the wastewater, the biofilm, and the oxygen.

   • Organic Matter Degradation: As the wastewater flows through the reactor, the microorganisms in the biofilm consume the organic pollutants (BOD/COD) in the sewage, breaking them down into harmless byproducts like carbon dioxide, water,

A Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a highly effective and popular technology used in Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). It's a type of biological treatment that combines features of both conventional activated sludge systems and traditional biofilm reactors. The key to MBBR is the use of thousands of small, specially designed plastic carriers (or media) that move freely within the wastewater.

1. Preliminary Treatment:

   • Screening: Large debris (rags, plastics, etc.) are removed to prevent clogging and damage to downstream equipment.

   • Grit Removal: Sand, gravel, and other heavy inorganic particles are settled out.

   • Equalization Tank (Optional but Recommended): This tank helps to balance fluctuations in the incoming sewage flow and strength, providing a more consistent feed to the biological reactor.

2. MBBR Reactor (Biological Treatment): This is the core of the MBBR system.

   • Media Carriers: The reactor tank is filled with specially designed plastic carriers (often shaped like small wheels, chips, or rings). These carriers provide a large protected surface area for microorganisms (bacteria) to attach and grow on, forming a biological film (biofilm).

   • Aeration: Air is continuously supplied to the tank, typically through fine bubble diffusers at the bottom. This serves two crucial purposes:

     • Oxygen Supply: Provides oxygen for the aerobic bacteria in the biofilm to break down organic pollutants in the sewage.

     • Media Movement: Keeps the media carriers constantly agitated and in motion, ensuring optimal contact between the wastewater, the biofilm, and the oxygen. This also helps prevent the media from clumping and ensures even distribution.

   • Organic Degradation: As the wastewater flows through the reactor, the microorganisms in the biofilm consume the organic matter (BOD, COD) from the sewage, converting it into carbon dioxide, water, and new biomass.

   • Nutrient Removal (Optional):

A Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is a facility designed to purify raw water from various sources (like rivers, lakes, groundwater, or even wastewater) and make it suitable for a specific end-use, most commonly for safe drinking, but also for industrial processes, irrigation, or environmental discharge.

The primary goal of a WTP is to remove impurities, contaminants, and harmful microorganisms to ensure public health, protect the environment, and provide a reliable supply of clean water.

Here's a general description of the key processes and components typically found in a conventional water treatment plant:

1. Raw Water Intake:

• Source: Water is drawn from its source (river, lake, well, reservoir) through an intake structure.

•  Screens: Large debris like leaves, branches, fish, and other floating objects are removed by coarse and fine screens to protect pumps and other equipment from damage.

   

2. Pre-treatment (Optional but common):

•  Aeration: Water is exposed to air to remove dissolved gases (like hydrogen sulfide, which causes rotten egg smell) and oxidize dissolved metals (like iron and manganese) to make them easier to remove later. This can involve spraying water into the air or bubbling air through the water.

   

•  Pre-chlorination: Chlorine or other disinfectants may be added at this stage to start killing microorganisms and to oxidize certain contaminants.

   

3. Coagulation and Flocculation:

•  Coagulation: Chemicals called coagulants (e.g., aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride) are rapidly mixed into the water. These chemicals have a positive charge that neutralizes the negative charge of suspended particles (like clay, silt, and organic matter), causing them to lose their stability and begin to clump together.

   

• Flocculation: The water then moves into a flocculation basin where it is gently mixed. This slow stirring allows the newly formed, tiny "flocs" (clumps of neutralized particles) to collide and combine, growing into larger, heavier, and more easily settleable aggregates.

4. Sedimentation (Clarification):

• The flocculated water flows into large sedimentation tanks (clarifiers).

   

• The water velocity is significantly reduced, allowing gravity to pull the heavier flocs to the bottom of the tank, forming a layer of "sludge."

   

•  

An Automatic Industrial Water Treatment Plant (IWTP) is a complete system designed to treat raw water (from sources like borewells, rivers, lakes, or municipal supply) for industrial use, with its operations largely controlled by automated processes rather than manual intervention. The goal is to produce water of a specific quality required for various industrial applications, which can range from general utility water to ultra-pure water for critical processes.

The "automatic" aspect means that functions like filter backwashing, chemical dosing, system startups, shutdowns, and regeneration cycles are initiated and managed by a control system (e.g., PLC/SCADA) based on pre-set parameters, sensor readings, or time schedules.

Automation in IWTPs offers significant advantages:

• Reliability & Consistency: Ensures stable water quality output by maintaining consistent operating conditions and timely regeneration/cleaning cycles.

• Reduced Labor Costs: Minimizes the need for constant manual monitoring and intervention.

• Improved Efficiency: Optimizes chemical consumption, reduces water wastage (e.g., during backwash), and ensures equipment operates at peak performance.

• Enhanced Safety: Reduces human exposure to chemicals and hazardous processes.

• Real-time Monitoring & Control: Allows for immediate detection of issues and precise adjustments, preventing system upsets.

• Data Logging & Analysis:

While specific processes can vary depending on the source water quality and desired output, most WTPs follow a series of common steps:

1. Coagulation: Chemicals (coagulants like aluminum sulfate or iron salts) are added to the raw water. These chemicals neutralize the electrical charges of tiny suspended particles (dirt, clay, organic matter), causing them to clump together.

2. Flocculation: The water is gently mixed to encourage the small, destabilized particles to collide and form larger, heavier clumps called "flocs."

3. Sedimentation: The water with the formed flocs flows into large basins where the velocity decreases. Due to gravity, the heavier flocs settle to the bottom, forming a layer of sludge. The clearer water remains on top.

4. Filtration: The settled water is then passed through various filter media, such as layers of sand, gravel, and activated carbon. These filters remove any remaining smaller suspended particles, microorganisms, and some dissolved impurities. Different types of filtration include rapid gravity filters, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis (RO), depending on the desired purity.

5. Disinfection: This is a crucial step to kill or inactivate any remaining bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Common disinfectants include chlorine (or chloramine, chlorine dioxide), ozone, or ultraviolet (UV) light. Chlorine is often used as it provides residual disinfection, protecting the water as it travels through the distribution pipes.

6. pH Adjustment (Optional/Post-Disinfection): The pH of the water may be adjusted to improve taste, reduce pipe corrosion, and enhance the effectiveness of disinfectants.

7. Fluoridation (Optional): In some regions, fluoride may be added to the water to help prevent dental decay.

Water Treatment Plants for Industries (IWTPs) are specialized facilities designed to purify raw water (from sources like borewells, rivers, lakes, or municipal supply) to meet the precise quality specifications required for various industrial processes. Unlike municipal water treatment, which focuses on potable water, industrial water treatment addresses a much wider range of quality needs, from basic utility water to ultra-pure water for critical applications.

The specific design and technologies employed in an IWTP are highly customized, depending on:

• Raw Water Quality: The impurities present in the source water (e.g., suspended solids, hardness, dissolved minerals, organic matter, bacteria).

   

• Required Treated Water Quality: The purity standards dictated by the industrial application (e.g., boiler feed water, cooling tower make-up, process water, ultrapure water for electronics/pharmaceuticals, wash water).

• Flow Rate: The volume of water needed per hour or day.

• Budget and Space Constraints:

• Environmental Regulations: For discharge or reuse of wastewater generated from the treatment process.

A Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit is a water and wastewater treatment technology used to remove suspended solids, oils, greases, and other low-density contaminants (like some algae or light flocs) from a liquid stream. Unlike conventional sedimentation where heavier particles settle to the bottom, DAF systems work by causing lighter particles to float to the surface, where they are then skimmed off.

The core principle of DAF is the creation of a large number of fine air bubbles (typically 20-80 microns in diameter) that attach to suspended particles or oil droplets in the water. These bubbles make the particles buoyant, causing them to float to the surface as a "scum layer," which is then mechanically removed.

The process involves these key steps:

1. Air Saturation: A portion of the clarified effluent (or sometimes raw influent) is recycled back and saturated with air under high pressure (typically 4-6 bar or 60-90 psi) in a dedicated saturator vessel (also called a pressure retention tank). The air dissolves into the water.

2. Pressure Release: The pressurized, air-saturated water is then released through a pressure reduction valve (or nozzle) into the main DAF tank, which is at atmospheric pressure.

3. Microbubble Formation: The sudden pressure drop causes the dissolved air to come out of solution as millions of tiny, microscopic air bubbles.

4. Bubble Attachment & Flotation: These microbubbles immediately attach to the suspended solids, oils, greases, and other particles in the wastewater (which may have been pre-treated with coagulants/flocculants to enhance aggregation). The combined bubble-particle agglomerates become buoyant and rapidly float to the water surface.

5. Scum Removal: A mechanical skimming mechanism (e.g., scraper blades, chain and flight skimmers) continuously or intermittently pushes the floating scum layer into a separate hopper or collection trough.

A Containerized Seawater Desalination Plant is a complete, self-contained water treatment facility designed to convert seawater into fresh, potable water, all housed within standard ISO shipping containers (typically 20-foot or 40-foot). This "plug-and-play" approach offers significant advantages in terms of mobility, rapid deployment, and scalability compared to traditional, fixed-site desalination plants.

Key Features and Principles:

The core technology for seawater desalination in these units is almost always Reverse Osmosis (SWRO), due to its efficiency and effectiveness. The overall process in a containerized plant involves several integrated stages:

1. Seawater Intake: This involves drawing raw seawater from the source. The intake system might be external to the container but is crucial for the plant's operation.

2. Pre-treatment: This is a critical stage to protect the delicate and expensive RO membranes from fouling and damage. Seawater contains a high concentration of suspended solids, organic matter, marine life, and other impurities. Pre-treatment typically includes:

   • Coarse & Fine Filtration (e.g., Multi-Media Filters, Automatic Self-Cleaning Screen/Disk Filters): To remove larger suspended particles, sand, silt, and debris. These filters are often automatically backwashed.

   • Chemical Dosing:

     • Coagulants/Flocculants: To agglomerate fine suspended solids into larger flocs for easier removal.

     • Anti-scalants: To prevent the precipitation of salts (like calcium carbonate, silica) on the RO membranes.

     • Biocides/Chlorine: To prevent bio-fouling (growth of microorganisms) on the membranes. (Chlorine is usually removed before the RO membranes using a de-chlorination step, as chlorine can damage polyamide membranes).

   • Cartridge Filters (Micron Filters): A final "guard filter" to capture any remaining particles (typically 5 microns or 1 micron) before the water enters the high-pressure RO pumps, safeguarding the membranes.

3.  

An MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) based STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) represents a significant leap forward in wastewater treatment technology. It combines the conventional biological treatment process (like activated sludge) with an advanced membrane filtration process. Essentially, the traditional secondary clarifier and often the tertiary filtration steps are replaced by a membrane module directly submerged in (or external to) the bioreactor.

1. Preliminary Treatment:

   • Screening: Removes large suspended solids, rags, and debris to protect the membranes from damage and clogging. This is even more critical for MBRs due to the delicate nature of membranes. Fine screens are typically used.

   • Grit Removal: Removes sand, grit, and other heavy inorganic particles.

   • Equalization Tank: Balances flow and pollutant load, providing a consistent feed to the biological reactor.

2. Biological Treatment (MBR Bioreactor):

   • Aeration Tank: Similar to conventional activated sludge, an aeration tank is used where a high concentration of microorganisms (activated sludge) breaks down organic pollutants (BOD, COD, nitrogen, phosphorus) in the sewage.

   • Submerged Membranes: This is the key difference. Instead of a separate clarifier, the membranes (typically hollow fiber or flat sheet configuration with very fine pores, e.g., 0.04 to 0.4 microns) are directly immersed in the mixed liquor (sludge and water mixture) of the aeration tank.

   • Suction/Pressure: A slight vacuum (suction) is applied to the membranes or a positive pressure is applied to the feed water, drawing the clean water (permeate) through the membrane pores.

   • High Biomass Concentration: Because the membranes physically separate the biomass from the treated water, the concentration of microorganisms (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids - MLSS) in the MBR tank can be maintained at much higher levels (typically 8,000-15,000 mg/L) than in conventional activated sludge systems (2,000-4,000 mg/L). This high biomass concentration directly contributes to the system's efficiency and compactness.

   • Aeration for Membrane Scouring: In addition to providing oxygen for the microorganisms, vigorous aeration is also directed towards the membrane surfaces. This "air scour" helps to continuously clean the membranes, prevent fouling (clogging), and maintain flux (flow rate through the membrane).

3. Permeate Collection:

   • The clean water that passes through the membranes (the permeate) is collected in a header and then directed for discharge or reuse.

4. Sludge Management:

   • Excess sludge (biomass) that accumulates in the MBR tank is periodically removed and sent for further dewatering and disposal. MBR systems typically produce less excess sludge compared to conventional activated sludge processes.

5. Chemical Cleaning (CIP - Clean-in-Place):

   • Even with air scouring, membranes can eventually experience some fouling. Periodic chemical cleaning (e.g., using dilute sodium hypochlorite or citric acid solutions) is performed to restore membrane permeability. This is often an automated process.

With the support of professionals, we bring forth a broad assortment of Industrial Demineralization Plant. This plant mineral salts from water by using the ion exchange process. Further, our offered Industrial Demineralization Plant is available in several specifications according to the needs of customers. This plant is designed to produce high purity treated water.

A Grey Water Treatment Plant (GWTP) is a system designed to treat "grey water" so that it can be safely reused for non-potable purposes. Grey water is wastewater generated from domestic activities such as bathing (showers, bathtubs), washing clothes (laundry), and washing hands (sinks), but excluding wastewater from toilets (black water) and kitchens/dishwashers (which can be very high in FOG - Fats, Oils, and Grease - and food particles, making it more challenging to treat like black water).

Treating and reusing grey water offers significant environmental and economic benefits, especially in regions facing water scarcity:

• Water Conservation: Reduces the demand on fresh potable (drinking) water sources.

• Reduced Wastewater Discharge: Less wastewater flows into municipal sewage systems or septic tanks, alleviating strain on infrastructure and potentially reducing discharge fees.

• Lower Water Bills: Reduces the cost of water consumption.

• Sustainable Living: Promotes a more environmentally responsible approach to water management.

• Nutrient Recovery (minor): Grey water contains some nutrients that can benefit landscape irrigation.

Treated grey water is typically used for non-potable applications, such as:

• Toilet Flushing: The most common and effective use.

• Landscape Irrigation: For gardens, lawns, and non-edible plants.

• Car Washing.

• Floor Cleaning.

• Cooling Tower Make-up (in commercial/industrial settings).

• Fire Fighting (in some commercial buildings).

A Condensate Polishing Unit (CPU) is a specialized water treatment system used in power plants (thermal, nuclear) and other industrial facilities (e.g., pulp and paper, petrochemicals) to purify the condensate returned from the steam cycle.

In a steam cycle (like in a power plant), water is heated to produce high-pressure steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity. After passing through the turbine, the steam is condensed back into liquid water (condensate) in a condenser and returned to the boiler to be reheated. This continuous loop is known as the boiler feedwater cycle.

However, during this cycle, the condensate can pick up impurities from various sources:

• Corrosion Products: Primarily iron oxides (rust) and copper from piping, heat exchangers, and the turbine itself.

• Cooling Water Ingress: Leaks in the condenser can allow cooling water (which is often raw or partially treated) to enter the condensate, introducing dissolved minerals (hardness, silica, chlorides, sulfates) and suspended solids.

• Make-up Water Contaminants: Even highly purified make-up water can introduce trace impurities.

• Process Contamination: In some industrial applications, process fluids can contaminate the condensate.

These impurities, even in very low concentrations, can be detrimental to the boiler and turbine:

• Boiler Scaling: Dissolved minerals (especially hardness and silica) can form hard scales on boiler tubes, reducing heat transfer efficiency, increasing fuel consumption, and potentially leading to tube failure (overheating and rupture).

• Corrosion: Chlorides and sulfates can accelerate corrosion in the boiler and turbine, leading to equipment damage and outages.

• Turbine Deposits: Silica and other volatile impurities can deposit on turbine blades, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance.

• Foaming and Priming: Impurities can cause foaming in the boiler, leading to carryover of boiler water into the steam, damaging the turbine.

This is where the Condensate Polishing Unit comes in. It "polishes" the condensate to a very high purity level, typically equivalent to or even exceeding that of demineralized water, before it returns to the boiler.

CPUs primarily rely on ion exchange technology to remove dissolved ionic impurities and filtration to remove suspended solids.

1. Filtration (often integrated):

   • Purpose: To remove suspended solids, primarily corrosion products like iron and copper oxides (crud), which are particulate.

   • Equipment: The ion exchange resins themselves can act as a filter, but sometimes separate pre-filters (e.g., backwashable deep bed filters, candle filters, or specialized crud filters) are used before the ion exchange resins to extend their life and prevent fouling.

A High Rate Sludge Contact Clarifier System (often abbreviated as HRSCC) is an advanced type of clarifier widely used in water treatment. It's designed to achieve high efficiency in removing suspended solids, turbidity, and often color, with a significantly smaller footprint than conventional clarifiers. The "high rate" refers to its ability to handle higher hydraulic loading rates (more water treated per unit area of the clarifier) and "sludge contact" refers to the intimate mixing of raw water and chemicals with a pre-formed sludge blanket.

The primary purpose of an HRSCC is to:

• Remove Suspended Solids & Turbidity: Efficiently settle out fine particulate matter from water.

• Achieve Rapid Coagulation & Flocculation: Provide optimal conditions for the chemical reactions that cause small particles to clump together into larger, more settleable flocs.

• Enhance Water Softening: Highly effective in lime-soda ash softening processes where calcium and magnesium ions are precipitated.

• Reduce Chemical Consumption: By promoting better contact between chemicals and raw water, and by utilizing the "seed" of the recirculated sludge, chemical dosages can sometimes be optimized.

The core principle behind an HRSCC is a combination of:

1. Chemical Coagulation and Flocculation: Introduction of coagulants (e.g., alum, ferric chloride) and flocculants (polymers) to destabilize particles and encourage them to agglomerate.

2. Solids Contact / Sludge Recirculation: Raw water, chemicals, and previously formed sludge are intimately mixed. The existing sludge acts as a "seed," providing nucleation sites for new flocs to form and grow rapidly, which accelerates the clarification process.

3. Upflow Sedimentation: The water then flows upwards through a dense "sludge blanket." This blanket acts as a filter, trapping new incoming flocs and suspended particles as they rise.

4. High Rate: The design allows for higher overflow rates (velocity of water leaving the clarifier) compared to conventional clarifiers due to the enhanced settling characteristics of the flocs formed and filtered by the sludge blanket.
