WWT- Dewatering of clarifier product

Hi all,
GLOBAL\DIEPTN Customer is treating the flue gas via the quench tower with caustic. The waste water is directed to the clarifier treated with cogulant ( GE Chemical) via a pre-mixing tank.
The clarifier's product is intermitently sent to filter bin via a blowdown valve.
Now the water content in clarifier's product is too high which increase the operating cost and final disposal.
They want to generate a cake-like material that has a non-fluid consistency but they dont have the equipment for that ( just only clarifier and filter bin).
Do we have any chemical for this kind of system? Any recommendation to improve the situation?

You can use N71301 to treat. In China, Sometimes, it needs combine a coagulant(N8187) to use together. In China, we have two successful cases.

Hi Deng,

Thank for the recommendation. Could you give me a bit more detalied how you are combining the two chemical together? In here, they just have only one tank for coagulant
GLOBAL\DIEPTN
(GE Klaraid something). How and where can we inject our N71301?

Sorry for too many question to you.

Thank you very much.

Hello,
I agree with Kevin that 71301 or similar (71306, 71318, etc) Coreshell product would be adventageous. You may also want to look at 7139PLUS or 7194PLUS.

With respect to your question, 8187 shouldn't be mixed with a flocculant; they will need separate injection points and storage. In general, coagulants like 8187 should be
added far upstream and at a point of high mixing. Flocculant on the other hand, should be fed at the application point (the dewatering box) in an area of slow mix. If it's fed
VanVliet, Laura at the clarifier inlet, it may help settle the sludge but won't help dewater the cake.

Flocculants should be diluted and inverted via a makedown system like Prominent Promix or similar for maximum effectiveness. There are a few document in the Core Library
on Best Practice Flocculant Feed systems.

Let me know if you have any further questions,

Laura

Hi all,

I agree with previous recommendations. In addition you should jar test several coagulants to see the formation of flocs, therefore you can add a flocculant (diluted as
exlained). The best combination should provide a thick cake. The thickness depends mainly on the flocculant dosage. My suggestion is to bench test products before. Make
sure the sludge you generate can be pumped and doesn't plug the piping.

I agree with Laura and the opinions of the participants, with 8187 can have excellent results, you can also try 8186. Also as flocculant 71307 is another option.

Thank Laura,

The customer has N 71308 available for another unit so that I come up the idea that we can utilize that kind of chemical for jar test instead of the unavailable recommended
chemical above. Is there any concern of N 71308 so far?

Thank Loris,

Plugging inside transfer line was also my concern about introducing the floculant to customer's system. Anyway, we have to conduct jar test before tanking any action.

Thank a lot.
