Abstract

A discussion of the operational principles and the design approaches covers chemical pretreatment; thickening by gravity or flotation; dewatering by centrifugation, various filtration techniques, or heat treatment; treatment of biological sludges from secondary wastewater by aerobic or anaerobic digestion; chemical fixation; by-product recovery, including metals from spent catalysts; and performance data on the treatment of CPI solid wastes, including oily, greasy, and asphaltic petrochemical wastes, which are thickened by flotation to a concentration of 2-5Vertical Bar3< solids, and dewatered by pressure filtration to 10-40Vertical Bar3< solids content, with Vertical Bar3: 99Vertical Bar3< solids capture.

Evaluation of thickening and dewatering characteristics of SRC-I wastewater treatment sludges. Final technical report

Technical Report

The SRC-I Demonstration Plant in Newman, Kentucky, will generate several different sludges as a result of providing extensive wastewater treatment. Because construction of this plant has been postponed indefinitely, there has been an opportunity to generate additional data pertinent to waste treatment. Accordingly, this report presents the results of a study on the thickening and dewatering characteristics of several of the wastewater treatment sludges. The study included: evaluation of chemical conditioning agents; aerobic digestion of biological sludges; gravity thickening; and the relative effectiveness of dewatering by centrifuge, vacuum filter, belt filter, and pressure filter. Sludges were tested individually and inmore »« less

Thermal treatment of municipal sewage sludges

Technical Report LeBrun, T; Tortorici, L

The thermal conditioning research program was conducted as part of an overall long-term sludge management study for the Los Angeles and Orange County metropolitan areas. The major goal of this portion of the study was to investigate the advantages of thermal conditioning of primary and waste activated sludges prior to anaerobic digestion, on a continuous flow and pilot scale basis. The studies were designed to demonstrate whether thermal conditioning would help produce increased gas production and volatile solids destruction during subsequent anaerobic stabilization of the sludge. Anaerobic digestion and anaerobic filtration were used for sludge stabilization. The effects of thermalmore »« less
Sludge dewatering for FGD products. Final report

Technical Report Wilhelm, J.; Kobler, R.; Naide, Y.; ...

Six full-scale desulfurization systems including three lime scrubbing and three limestone scrubbing facilities were evaluated to determine dewatering characteristics of the waste sludges produced. Pilot-scale centrifugation and bench-scale thickening and filtration tests were performed to determine equipment design and sizing criteria. Sludge samples taken during the dewatering studies were evaluated for physical properties to determine their usefulness as fill or foundation support. Because of the poor structural properties measured, none of the sludge are recommended for structural fill or pavement sub-base without sludge fixation. Many of the dewatering characteristics of the sludges can be related to particle size distribution, whichmore »« less

Celanese improves anaerobic digester

Conference Witt, E; Roberts, T - Chem. Eng. News; (United States)

An anaerobic digestion process, developed by Celanese for the disposal of petrochemical wastes, involves feeding some of the treated effluent back into the system to dilute toxic constituents and to lower the pH. Anaerobic digestion as a disposal technique has been a problem since toxic materials and high pH kill the bacteria needed for effective operation. Operation of the process at several petrochemical plants along the gulf coast, including the Celanese guar manufacturing plants in Vernon, Tex., where the wastewater contains, among other things, propylene glycol and caustic soda, has averaged 60Vertical Bar3< long-term chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal sincemore »« less
Cost-effective treatment of organic sludges in a high rate bioreactor

Journal Article Dhuldhoya, N; Lemen, J; Martin, B; ... - Environmental Progress

The design and pilot testing of a deep fixed bed/attached growth high rate bioreactor (HRB) for treatment and disposal of refinery oily sludges and biosolids are described. The HRB technology is being jointly developed by Texaco Inc. and Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation to allow for the processing of refinery oily sludges, biosolids, and contaminated soils. A key feature of the technology is its integral combination of dewatering, landfarming, and digestion operations. In essence, the technology operates as a combination of landfarm, aerobic digester, and trickling filter for semi-solids/sludges. The system provides biological degradation of wastes, and features optimal air,more »« less
