Industrial Wastewater Treatment Test Batch Systems
Pilot Batch Tank and Press System
This unit consists of:
- Automated Floccin™ Feeder
- Reaction Tank
- Filter Press
- Secondary Filter
This unit is sized to treat 20 gallons of industrial wastewater. The process is to fill the reaction tank, mix with the variable speed mixer, add the Floccin™ material, generate a floc and clear water, turn the mixer off, decant the clear supernatant through a filter to discharge, then pump the remaining sludge to the filter press. The unit simulates a smaller version of batch treatment systems commonly found in the corrugators, paint, ink and ceramic industries.
The digesters flow in a series or parallel configuration. The digesters are fitted with high surface area contact media and re-circulation pumps to keep a cross flow of the influent relative to the media. The methane gas that is produced flows through a flow meter for quantification and BTU evaluation. Each of the digesters is fitted with digital thermistors with readouts so adjustments in the temperature can be made relative to the heat loss.
