Do you know how filthy water is made pure before allowing it back in nature? Well, that's a pretty important procedure taken to conserve the environment and keep it pure. Gravity thickener is a prime component in such a purifying process of dirtied water. That magnificent machine does not only support getting dirty water cleaned properly, but rather cleans it even easier. So here, let us discuss how it works along with its application to the present article.
One machine utilised in that process is the gravity thickener, removing solid waste from dirty water. Dirty water goes into the thickener and mixes that agitates. That agitation causes heavier solid waste, such as food scraps or dirt, to settle out at the bottom of the tank. The lighter, liquid-dominated water will remain on top. Eventually, the BOEEP Sludge Drying Equipment scrapes the solid waste from the bottom, and cleaner water rises to the top. This pure water can then undergo additional treatment steps and be released safely into the environment.
Gravity thickener helps a lot as it speeds up the process of clearing dirty water and also saves money. Removing the solid waste from the water presents an opportunity to clean greater volumes of water in a one-step process. That further means that we will not have to use as much water to get the job done, which is just fantastic for conserving our vital water resources. Also when we remove solid waste we can help the other stages in the cleaning process to perform successfully. Doing so not only helps us to clean with less chemicals, but it is also kinder to our whole cleaning processes of the associated environment. To understand the gravity thickener we need to understand something called "settling velocity".
To understand the gravity thickener we need to understand something called "settling velocity". This is a reference to how quickly the solid waste settles in the bottom of the thickener. By adjusting the settling velocity, we can control the extent and the time in which the solid waste is getting out from the tank along with the quantity of liquid water remaining. If the solid waste settles too slowly, we risk keeping it in the thickener too long and if too fast, we could lose some of the liquid we are interested in keeping.
BOEEP offers several types of gravity thickeners for greater efficiency in your dirty waters treatment. Simplicity in use and maintenance are crucial and our thickeners have been designed with this in mind. This prevents you from having to worry about running complicated machines, allowing you to focus on the real task - cleaning the dirty water. BOEEP Grid Bar Screen Equipment can also be customized to fit the exact requirements of your cleaning facility. That means you can pick the right type of thickener that suits you!
Benefits of Gravity Thickener
However, the BOEEP gravity thickener is also very useful from environmental perspectives. If you are able to remove the solid waste from dirty water then you are using less chemical control to clean up the water. This is meaningful, as the fewer chemicals the better for the environmental process because better water treatments can occur that will protect our planet through ecosystems.
Added bonus, the solid waste we take out of the dirty water can be used for other beneficial applications. For example, it might become plant fertilizer to help them flourish, or it could be 'digested' in a special process and turned into energy. This allows for a second life for the solid waste that helps us to utilize our resources to the fullest extent possible.
