Design of Primary Clarifiers
The design of primary clarifiers involves the creation of systems used in wastewater treatment to remove suspended solids from incoming water or wastewater. Primary clarifiers typically operate based on sedimentation principles, where solids settle due to gravity. Key design considerations include tank shape, surface area, flow velocity, sludge removal mechanisms, and retention time to ensure efficient solid removal. Proper design enhances the performance of the clarifier, optimizing the treatment process and reducing operational costs.
