Troubleshooting and Optimize Secondary Clarifiers in a biological wastewater treatment plant

Secondary Clarifiers are a main component in a wastewater treatment plant and often under valued.

The purpose of the clarifier is two-fold.

First of all it has to act as a thickener as well as a clarifier.

The second purpose, obviously is while settling

the solids, a clear supernatant should be produced and this is the

final effluent. So yes,

Thickening up the return sludge and clarification of the effluent

are both important here.
