What is Secondary Clarifier Design Tank?

Secondary Clarifier Design Tank

Secondary clarifier design tank  is used in ETP. We use water for many activities, most of which contaminate the water in some Way, i.e. By using detergents, chemicals, dyes t in fabric and yarn in industrial process. This contaminated water is called waste water. Water after usage is called waste water or effluent.

Main use of Secondary Clarifier

• To Recirculation the Bacteria to the FBBR system
• To reduce the suspended solids in the effluent
• To avoided the Bacteria escape to other system
• To remove the odor in the effluent in secondary clarifier design tank
• To increase the efficiency of Electrocoagulation system
• To reduce the current and electrode consumption in EC system
• To increase the efficiency of FBBR system

Wastewater composition

Wastewater contains approximately 99.0% water and 1% solids maximum.

Expressed in another way, every 1000L of wastewater contains about 10kg of

Solids. The solids are organic and inorganic compounds and are suspended in the

Waste water. Volatile solids are about 70% of the wastewater solids and give the

Water its unpleasant characteristics.

The majority of the solids – carbohydrates, fats and proteins – are broken down

During treatment into more stable inorganic compounds by bacteria and other

Micro-organisms.

Wastewater also contains some compounds that are resistant to normal treatment

Processes, including:

Organics

Fats, oils, grease & organic chemicals

Inorganics

Chlorides, heavy metals, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur.

Gases

Hydrogen (H₂), sulphide (SO₂), methane (CH₄) and carbon-di-oxide (CO₂).

Effluent treatment plant (etp) capacity

The Effluent treatment plant is designed to treat 2000m3 of Textile dyeing combined

Effluent generated from the process house. The plant will be capable of operating at the flow rate of 100m3/hr. The operating cycle of the plant shall be 20 hours.

Raw effluent characteristics

The effluent treatment plant is designed based on the analysis of effluent analysis report of combined effluent available with us. The relevant parameters are furnished below for your reference.
