SCREENING
Objective
• To remove large objects such as rags,
paper, plastics, metals, and the like.
These objects, if not removed, may
damage the pumping and sludge
removal equipment, hang-over weirs,
and block valves, nozzles, channels,
pipelines, and appurtenances
• First unit operation used at wastewater
treatment plants.
Type of screens
• Coarse screens: used primarily as
Fine screen protective devices, e.g., bar racks (or
screens), coarse woven-wire screens,
and comminutors
• Fine screens: openings of < 2.3~6
mm (< 0.1~0.25 inch); used to
provide pretreatment or primary
treatment

COAGULATION - FLOCCULATION
Coagulation is the destabilization of colloids by addition of
chemicals that neutralize the negative charge.
COAGULATION - FLOCCULATION
The coagulation–flocculation
process does not only separate
suspended solids from water,
but also reduce color and
certain organic compounds
from different sources of
wastewater such as dyes
wastewater, municipal sewage,
micro-polluted water, oily
wastewater, paper industry
wastewater.
In the coagulation–flocculation
process, the adsorption-
bridging and charge
neutralization mechanisms
played an important role in
colloidal destabilization and
aggregation.

• Provide clarification to produce high quality effluent
• Provide thickening of settled solids in the underflow

Determination of
limiting solids loading
rate (Sludge flux _ SF)
Sludge flux (SF) = 2 kg/m2·hr
Calculation of area
and diameter of SC
A = Q.X/SF
= 691 m3/hr × 3.75 kg/m3
2 kg/m2·day = 1296 m2
D = SQRT(1296 x 4 : 3.14)
= 40.7 m
SECONDARY CLARIFIER
Check the overflow rate at average design flow :
Overflow rate = Q/A = 0.193 m3/sec × 86,400 sec/day1,301 m2 =
12.8 m3/m2·day < 15 m3/m2·day
Check the clarifier area for clarification requirement:
Calculated overflow rate = 12.8 m3/m2·day = 0.533 m/hr
MLSS conc. at 0.533 m/hr settling rate = 4,400 mg/L > 3,750 mg/L;
thus, the area for clarification will be sufficient.
Check the overflow rate at peak design flow:
At peak design flow plus recirculation, the flow to each clarifier
= (1.321 + 0.292) m3/sec 4 = 0.403 m3/sec
Overflow rate = 0.403 m3/sec × 86,400 sec/day 1,301 m2
= 26.8 m3/m2·day (satisfactory) < 35 m3/m2·day
Typical Design Values
• The overflow rates at average and peak flow conditions shall not
exceed 15 and 35 m3/m2·day, respectively
• The solids-loading rates at average and peak design flows shall not
exceed 50 and 150 kg/m2·day, respectively
• Tank shape: circular, rectangular, or square Circular tanks: 10-60 m in
diameter, 4-6 m in Depth for circular and rectangular tanks

1. Select the ultimate sludge disposal method as the degree of sludge stabilization
will depend on the requirements of the disposal practice.
2. Develop the characteristics of thickened sludge that will reach the sludge
stabilization facility.
3. Select the sludge stabilization method that is compatible with the influent
sludge characteristics, dewatering, and ultimate disposal method.

b. Compute area of side walls
Area of side wall above ground level = D × Exposed height
Assume 50% side wall is exposed
Side wall area above ground = ×13.7 m×8.5 m/2=182.9 m2
Area of side wall below ground = 182.9 m2
c. Computed bottom area
Digester bottom is sloped at 1 vertical to 3 horizontal.
Total drop of the bottom slope at the center = D (2 × 3)
= 13.7 m (2 × 3) = 2.3 m
Bottom area = × 13.7 m × ½ × (13.7 m/2)2 + (2.3 m)2
= 155.5 m2

CHAPTER 7: SLUDGE TREATMENT 164
b. Compute hot water recirculation rate through the external heat exchanger
Provide one jacketed pipe heat exchanger for both digesters.
Assume that the water enters the jacket pipe at 95°C and leaves at 60°C.
Drop in heating water temperature = 95 - 60 = 35°C
Total heating required for each digester = 1.41 × 1010 J/day
If 25%additional heating is provided to account for heat losses,
Total heat required per digester = 1.41 × 1010 J/day × 1.25
= 1.76 × 1010 J/day
Total heat required for both digesters = 3.52 × 1010 J/day
Total heat available in digester gas = 23,000 kJ/m3 × 1.162 kg/m3 ×
2,550 m3/d × 1,000 J/kJ = 6.82
Using specific heat of water = 4,200 J/kg·°C
Total heat supplied by water = 4,200 J/kg·°C × 35°C
= 147,000 J/kg
Hot water recirculation rate through the common heat
exchanger = 3.52 × 1010 J/day 147,000 J/kg
= 2.40 × 105 kg/day
Volume of water recirculated = 2.4 × 105 kg/day × 1,000
g/kg (1 g/cm3 × 106 cm3/m3) = 240 m3/day
