Copper clarifier Flashcards
Copper Clarifier passes through_______
Trim PH Control mixer
Copper Clarifier main purpose
Removes copper and suspended particles
From the Trim Control Mixer, waste water flows through the _____
Sulfide Mixer
What is added to the Sulfide Mixer
Copper Inhibitor
Coagulant is added to _______ the negative chargers of the insoluble particles.
Neutralize
Neutralizing the particles in the copper clarifier allows them to form a _____
Micro Fluc
Flocculant is added in the coppers for what purpose?
To cause the micro Floc to come together to form larger particles which will settle out in the Copper Clarifiers
Copper Clarifiers consist of_______
Reaction tube
Reaction well
And the clarifier itself
What does the turbine do?
Draws solids from the bottom of the Clarifier to contact with incoming H2o.
What happens in the reaction well?
Micro Floc combines with solids to form a larger Floc particle, that will settle out in the clarifier.
Sludge Blanket is maintained______
Below the top of the reactions well
Reaction Well
Filters the H2o prior to it overflowing the saw tooth weir into the clearwell tank.
What is added to the copper clarifier clearwell tanks?
Scale inhibitor
What does the scale inhibitor do in the Copper Clarifier?
Prevents scale from depositing in equipment downstream
How is the sludge level maintained in the coppers?
Adjusting the turbine speed or recirculating sludge to the feed line or removing sludge.
