Study on Rising Time and Falling Time in Vacuum Chamber on Turbidity Removal by Sludge Blanket Clarifier
Abstract
This paper aims to study effect of rising time and falling time in vacuum chamber on turbidity removal by sludge blanket clarifier. A 40-second and a 50-second of rising time and a 10-second, a 12-second and a 14-second of falling time were experimented. By controlling surface loading rate, 3.22 m/hr., and aluminum sulphate adding rate, 20 mg/l. Experiment found that rising time, falling time and interaction between rising time and falling time were significantly affected on turbidity removal efficiency. Turbidity removal efficiency increased as rising time was increased or falling time was increased. But, turbidity removal efficiency was not increased for a 14-second of falling time. The highest turbidity removal efficiency of clarifier was 90.61±0.89% in case rising time was 50 second and falling time was 12 second.
