1. Sedimentation pond sand-water separationApplianceIntroduction
The sedimentation pond's function is to remove inorganic particles with higher relative density (such as silt, coal slag, etc.). It is typically installed before pump stations or siphon pipes to reduce wear on pumps and pipelines by these particles. It can also be placed before a sedimentation pond to alleviate the pond's load and eliminate the impact of particles on anaerobic digestion of sludge. Sedimentation basins come in four types: horizontal flow, vertical flow, aeration, and vortex flow. The horizontal flow sedimentation basin boasts a simple structure and good treatment effectiveness; however, the drawback is that the sediment contains...15%Organic matter increases the difficulty of subsequent treatment for settled sand. In a vertical flow sand settling tank, wastewater enters from the bottom through a central pipe, and inorganic particles settle at the bottom of the tank by gravity, generally resulting in poor treatment effectiveness. The aeration sand settling tank...Please provide the Chinese content to be translated into American English.The major advantage is that it allows sand particles to rub against each other under aeration, effectively removing organic pollutants attached to the sand particles. Additionally, due to the flotation effect of aeration, oils and fats in the wastewater rise to the surface and form scum, which is then removed. For wastewater treatment plants designed for biological phosphorus removal, aeration sand sedimentation tanks are generally not used to ensure phosphorus removal efficiency. In recent years, the increasingly widely used vortex sand sedimentation tank utilizes mechanical force to control flow state and velocity, with the main advantages being a small land area, minimal impact of water volume changes on sedimentation efficiency, good sand-water separation, low moisture content in the separated sand, low organic matter content, and ease of transportation. Given the relatively small water volume in this design, the flow fluctuations have a significant impact on the horizontal flow sedimentation tank, thus it is not adopted, yet it is not sufficient to meet the requirements of the aeration sedimentation tank.Please provide the Chinese content to be translated.Low water depth requirements necessitate the use of a vortex sedimentation tank. However, it should be noted that the spacing of the fine格栅 should be as small as possible to prevent the entry of objects like rags, which could affect the impeller and sand lifting pump among other equipment.


A vortex grit chamber, which is a type of vortex grit chamber, consists of an inlet, outlet, grit separation zone, grit collection area, grit lifting pipe, grit discharge pipe, electric motor, and transmission box, etc. Wastewater enters the grit chamber along the tangent direction from the inflow, and is rotated by the turntable and inclined blade with the electric motor and transmission device, driven by the centrifugal force. The dense sand particles in the wastewater are ejected towards the pool wall and fall into the grit hopper, while organic matter remains in the non-swelling area. By adjusting the rotation speed, the desired grit removal efficiency can be achieved.ReasonableSedimentation effect. Sediment is removed by compressed air through the riser and sand discharge pipe after cleaning. The cleaning water returns to the sedimentation area. 1.2Process Design
Sedimentation Basin: Wastewater is pre-treated by a fine格栅 before entering the sedimentation basin. Two basins are installed, one in use and one as a backup. The sand removed during the sedimentation process is transported to the sand-water separator using a sand pump (with two pumps serving as backups). The dehydrated sand is then stored in a sand storage bin.

(1City sewage plants should be equipped with sedimentation basins, with the number of basins or compartments not less than2Seated(Please provide the Chinese content to be translated.)Considered in parallel operation principle.

(7Mechanical methods are generally preferred for sand removal. When gravity sand separation is used, the sedimentation pond and sand drying facility should be as close as possible to minimize the length of the sand discharge pipe.3.Turbulent sedimentation tank design3.1 Design Key Points
