Record 2 2001-05-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

The settling structure for high turbidity water include horizontal-flow settling tank and radial-flow settling tank, furthermore, spiral-flow flocculating sedimentation basin, XB-1 type water-revolving clarifier and some other types of tanks have also been developed... The radial-flow settling tank can not only be used for natural sedimentation of high turbidity water, but used as coagulating sedimentation basin as well. When working as natural sedimentation, the silt content is normally less than 20kg/m3, while as coagulating sedimentation, the silt content can reach up to 100kg/m3.

Key term(s)
  • radial flow settling tank

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
DEF

Décanteur comportant une arrivée d'eau au centre de l'appareil.

CONT

Décanteur primaire. Il s'agit d'un décanteur radial de facture classique. [...] on constate que le débit n'est en pratique pas réparti uniformément sur la circonférence de l'ouvrage. Le déversoir radial n'est pas parfaitement plat.

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

The intercepting sedimentation tank is based on contact flocculation and intercepting precipitation with special structure. The treatment efficiency of low-temperature and low-turbidity water by intercepting sedimentation tank was studied and compared with that of horizontal-flow settling tank and the inclined plate settler. The results showed that the treatment efficiency of intercepting sedimentation tank with excellent capacity of intercepting flocculation and adaptability to water quality variation was obviously higher than that of horizontal-flow settling tank and approximated to that of inclined plate settler. This kind of sedimentation tank is of great potential for development and application.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
DEF

Appareil assurant le dépôt des matières en suspension contenues dans un liquide sur une surface horizontale ou faiblement inclinée.

CONT

Décanteurs à flux horizontaux. Dans ces bassins, la condition pour qu'une particule soit retenue est qu'elle ait le temps d'atteindre le fond avant le débordement ou la sortie de l'ouvrage. Un décanteur horizontal est caractérisé par : le débit traversier Q, sa surface S, sa hauteur entre le plan d'eau libre et le radier h.
