sedimentation process in wastewater treatment

Sedimentation is an important stage in wastewater treatment as it permits solids to be settled out of the water being treated. Gravity precipitates these otherwise suspended particles (whether they are heavier or denser than water). This helps to remove impurities such as sand, silt, and organic matter from the water, which makes it clearer and turbidity free. Without adequate settling, these solid particles will clog the filters or decrease the efficiency of other treatment processes and also cause pollution of water bodies. Sedimentation is conductive to making wastewater meet the criterion set by local government on discharging sewage and it can be recycled, too. It prevents harmful substances from being flushed into rivers, lakes, and oceans by removing soluble inflammation-contributing components from the flue gas. Furthermore, sedimentation is an important factor in the efficiency of the wastewater treatment process by removing a substantial amount of matter from untreated waste material prior to subsequent treatment. Screw Dehydrator technology can also be employed for efficient sludge dewatering.

Key Benefits of Sedimentation Process

Sedimentation also assists in removing the organic matter and pollutants that give water an unpleasant smell, color, and taste. Regarded as a suitable means of removing these impurities, with the general result that such treatment still further enhances the aesthetic appearance of water (it is visually attractive) and renders it more palatable. Moreover, sedimentation is also a process of pathogenesis and bacteria reduction from wastewater which can cause waterborne diseases, so that the overall health of the public is kept safe. Sediment is important because it is the sink for pollutants/contaminants, and so sedimentation removes these contaminants into a low oxygen environment that restricts biological metabolism of materials. If we treat sewage properly using sedimentation, then it is obvious that water bodies can not be contaminated much. Healthy water is the keystone to preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services, so sedimentation could be an applicable method for keeping ecological balance. Utilizing a Lamella Clarifier can also aid in the removal of pollutants and organic matter.
