Description

This course delves into the workings of circular primary clarifiers in the water treatment process, focusing on sedimentation and solid-liquid separation. Participants will learn about the design, main components, and operation of primary clarifiers, including influent channels, energy dissipating inlets, baffles, sludge collection, and effluent weirs.

The course will explore the factors affecting clarifier performance, such as flow rates, surface overflow rates, and the prevention of short-circuiting. By understanding these elements, students will gain insights into optimizing clarifier efficiency and the environmental considerations of water treatment processes.

Hope to see you on the course!
