  • Tratamiento del agua
DEF

Proceso en el que las partículas sedimentan en un gran tanque sin agitación generando un agua más clara como efluente.

CONT

La clarificación continua ha sido usada ampliamente en el tratamiento de agua y residuales. La eficiencia de esta afecta enormemente las características de diseño y operación de los tratamientos subsecuentes. Por esto, las configuraciones de tanques deben ser adecuadas. La eficiencia del tanque no es necesariamente una función del rango de influente, pero se afecta en la profundidad de este. Otras variables que afectan el diseño son: volumen, concentraciones de sólidos, compresión y sedimentación de sólidos.

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Removal of suspended particulate material from a solution. It may be a necessary part of either pre- or post-fermentation processing of feed solutions or product streams: for example, where byproducts of food processing, such as molasses, are used as feed ... Removal of particulate material may be necessary to reduce the solids load passing through the system, in order to reduce fouling of heat exchangers in particular, to increase the purity of the final product, to remove potential inhibitory materials or to recover a desired product.

CONT

The methods of clarification include gravity sedimentation, centrifugal sedimentation, filtration, and magnetic separation. Clarification differs from other applications of these mechanical separation techniques by the low solid content of the suspension to be clarified (usually less than 0.2%) and the substantial completion of the particle removal.
