- PRINCIPLE
OF SYSTEM OPERATION
- Waste
water coming from the process is collected via channels into a pool
that has proper shape and size. It is transferre from collecting pool
to sedimentation tank by a plunger type waste water pump that is controlled
by level sensors. Flocculant is injected into the feeding pipe during
pumping slurry to sedimentation tank. Solution can be prepared according
to the system capacity with graded automatic mixer or into a simple
tank wiyh one mixer. Folocculant acts on a small particles to become
bigger by cohering them together. So, while the time of sedimentation
process is becoming shorter, its effectiveness increases.
- Slurry
that is transferred to sedimentation tank passes into decanter. Eddy
flow is converted to laminar flow in the decanter. Thus, solid particles
are canalised with laminar flow to bottom of cone section of the tank.
Centrifugal force acting on slurry at the outlet of decanter canalises
solid particles to cone section of the tank and water to top of the
tank as a result of specific gravity difference. Flumes at the top of
tank are designed to prevent possible eddy flows after the the decanter
outlet. As water rising to flumes with laminar flow does not drag solid
particles upwards, it does not spoil productivity of sedimentation.
Recycled water passing from flumes can be collected into a steel tank,
a pool or a air pressure tank. If it is collected into a vertical tank
that has suitable height, clean water can be disributed to factory by
natural fall without additional energy.
- Mud that
is collected into bottom of sedimentation tank is automatically discharged
to mud homogenisation tank according to appropriate periods and discharging
time to filter press capacity. Mud, leaning to becomes solid as a result
of flocculant, is mixed with a mixer continuosly to keep it as homogen
liquid for pumping. Liquid mud is transfered to filter press via high
pressure pump. Solid substance accumulates between filter pres plates
that is closed at opposite pressure appropriate to hydraulic cylinder.
Water, inside mud, is filtered by filter cloths; fills into channels
that is beside the plates and then flows to waste water collection pool
again. "CAKE" that is obtained between plates is discharged
by automatic shaking movement to a container, truck or a trailer under
the filter press. %97-98 percent of waste water is recycled with this
full automatic system.
