REPORT ON INVESTIGATION AS TO THE ACHIEVABLE RESULTS OF RADIOACTIVE SLUDGE DEWATERING BY CONTINUOUS CENTRIFUGATION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4832504
Studies were conducted on the use of the continuous centrifuge in the ORNL Process Waste Treatment Plant for dewatering sludge and removing suspended solids from the plant effluent. The effects of continuous sludge removal and recirculatlon on clarification efficiency were also studied. It was found that sludge can be dewatered to a concentration of 40 to 50% total solids in this way. Sludge recirculation to the flocculating basins improved the flocculation reactions and reduced the suspended solids concentration of the plant effluent by 28%. (D.L.C.)
