Purification process
Oxidation of carbon and nitrogen compounds, de nitrification, stabilization of sludge and clarification tacking place in the reactor chamber B. To be played these processes in the reactor must be different conditions. During the oxidation of carbon and nitrogen compounds and during stabilization of sludge should be oxide condition and during de nitrification an oxide conditions. Sedimentation takes place in a peaceful regime, i.e. when not done aeration in chamber B, regardless of whether the chamber oxide or an oxide conditions.
In order to have above reactions in chamber B, the order of activities is as follows:
- Association of the B-batch reactor was filled with raw water to a height H, with constant aeration. During the aeration oxidation processes taking place in C and N compounds. The chamber held the concentration of dissolved oxygen from 1.5 to 2.5 mg / liter until the full oxidation. This time is cycle of aeration and takes Ta minutes
- Then starts on aeration and sedimentation become. Sedimentation has speed of 1.85 m/hour. After the sedimentation time Ts water will purge the height ΔH so that water can drop in to the recipient or tertiary treatment. The reactor remains a mixture of water and mud in the amount of H-ΔH. ΔH in practice ranges from 1/4 to 1/3 of H. Discharge time is Td
- While the reactor is done aeration, sedimentation and discharge (Ta+Ts+Td) water that comes to device accepts the inlet chamber A. In the chamber A are anoxic conditions. If the water is recalculate from reactor B to the chamber A, the efficacy of de nitrification will be significantly increased
- Having in mind that the sludge stays in the reactor B a number of cycles (days), stabilization is made. The excess active sludge is periodically transported to the sludge chamber in order to be thickened. Chamber for sludge is periodically cleaned-empted
- This device is batch type and is not continuous one. If we pretend to have continuous one then the device is made with 2 or 4 reactor chamber (typical for higher plants). The process occurs cyclically. While in one place aeration reactor Ta, the second reactor is in the sedimentation and discharge process. The process takes the same, i.e. Ta=Ts+Td
The efficiency of the process depends on:
Efficiency of the process depends mainly of properly defined phase of the cycle time and maintenance oxide and an oxide conditions within the chambers A and B. The calculated times Ta, Ts and Td are stored in the processor that takes the process of the device and test work is done for any correction. Correction is done in case of changes in working conditions, stress, etc. Therefore, this device is flexible and always works reliably with the condition of proper handling. For successful handling of this device requires increased investment in measuring and control equipment and it is the reason for his application is used for smaller capacities.
