What are the possible factors to be consider to handle Slurry and heavily polluted industrial effluents.
I have been trying to optimize design of 20 different clarifier data. The challenges here is, what are the steps to identifying design errors and inefficiency of existing designs. What steps are to be taken to resolve this challenges so as to achieve a new design of a water clarifier that can handle these identifiable challenges?
Dear Prosper,
Thank you for sharing your question. I think it is important to identify your system geometry. You can install your observation points in three diffrent location between input and output. For example, your points distrbuted in three diffrent linle which perpendicular with water flow lines.
Sincerely,

In most cases the underperformance of clarifier is because of the faulty hydraulics. I suggest to check for inlet energy dissipation device, central baffled wall and try to optimize the same. The other design parameters which need attention are surface overflow rate (SOR), hydraulic retention time (HRT) and weir over flow rate. Apart from these, there are hardly any governing parameters which decide the performance of clarifier, generally.
