Calculating Thickener Area: Thickener area required is then calculated by applying above determined data in the following formula: A = 1.333 (F – D)/R. A = Thickener area in square feet per ton of dry solids thickened in 24 hours. F = Initial density (Parts Water to Solids by weight).

the mass balance of the solids in the clarifier, the SLR is really what we should be looking at. You calculate the SLR by multiplying the total flow coming into the clarifier, the influent flow plus the return flow (Q + Q RAS ) by the mixed liquor settleable solids concentration (X ML ) and
Specific Gravity Balance – Using Sinker An interesting application of this same equation is the determination of the density of a liquid by weighing a suspended solid of known mass and volume in the liquid. Some electronic balances have a hook under the balance to weigh masses suspended on a string. By attaching a glass or metal "sinker"
density meter when entrained air is present, which enables a correct calculation of mass balance. Depending on the specific gravity of the process material, even the smallest presence of entrained air in a liquid or slurry can cause large errors in density measurement, as seen in Figure 2.
Mass and Weight Use the following formula to solve for weight: Weight (W) = Mass (m) x gravity (g) W = mg Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) Gravity on earth is a constant: 9.8 m/s2 Weight is measured in Newton's (1 N = 1 kg m/s 2) Answer the following questions – show ALL WORK and UNITS 1.

The underflow operating line will betangential to the flux curve ifthe feed flux Gp is greater than Gu as is the case in Figure 1.

thickening zone. A mass balance on the liquid phase within the thickening zone has the form: . 3p£/3t + 3(p£v£)/3x = 0 (2) * For continuous gravity thickening, p can be defined as the mass of solids per unit volume of sample.
1.1 Gravity thickenin" Qperation and definitions Thickening is defined as the process of solids separation from a suspension, resulting in a solid-rich slurry and relatively clear supernatant fluid. Other terms used to describe a particular aspect, and sometimes the whole process, of thickening include:
thickener was developed by Mishler6l in 1912 and corresponds to a simple macroscopic mass balance in the equipment. Consider a thickener working at steady state, as shown in Fig. 4. Using the same variables as Mishler!'>, a solid and water mass balance yield: Solid F …
Newton's Law of Gravity (cont'd): Every object attracts every other object with a force ⇒ F (gravity) = (mass 1) x (mass 2) / R2 (distance squared) Notice this is an "inverse square law" (right illus.). Orbits of planets (and everything else) are a balance between the moving object's tendency to move in a straight
Thickener control has a number of complexities such as varying feed characteristics. Changes in feed concentration, solids specific gravity, particle size distribution, pH, temperature, and reaction to flocculant can all contribute to variations in performance. Accurate information about what's happening inside the thickener is difficult to get.

Evaluating the performance of a thickener often involves mass balance calculations. Overflow plus underflow solids equals influent solids. Also, the sum of overflow and underflow volumes is equal to the quantity of applied sludge and supplementary dilution water. Figure 4 Cross sectional view of a gravity sludge thickener. Example 1
