Decanter centrifuge is an important equipment in water treatment plant, which is mainly used in sludge dewatering, solid-liquid separation and other processes. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of decanter centrifuges in water treatment plants:
Basic overview of decanter centrifuge
Decanter centrifuge, full name of horizontal spiral sedimentation centrifuge, is an efficient centrifugal separation equipment. It uses the density difference between solid and liquid phases to accelerate the sedimentation rate of solid particles under the action of centrifugal force, so as to achieve solid-liquid separation. Decanter centrifuge has the characteristics of compact structure, continuous operation, smooth running, strong adaptability, large production capacity and easy maintenance.
Working principle of decanter centrifuge
The working principle of decanter centrifuge is that the drum and screw rotate at a certain differential speed in the same direction, and the material is continuously introduced into the inner cylinder of the feed screw through the feed tube, and then accelerated into the drum. Under the action of centrifugal force field, the heavy solid is deposited on the drum wall to form a sediment layer, which is pushed by the screw pusher to the end of the drum cone. The lighter liquid phase forms the inner liquid ring, which spills continuously through the overflow port at the big end of the drum, so as to realize solid-liquid separation.
Application of decanter centrifuge in water treatment plant
1. Sludge dewatering: decanter centrifuges are mainly used for sludge dewatering treatment in water treatment plants. Through the centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation, the water in the sludge is separated, so that the water content of the sludge is significantly reduced, which is convenient for subsequent treatment and disposal.
2. Solid-liquid separation: In addition to sludge dewatering, decanter centrifuges can also be used for solid-liquid separation of various suspensions. For example, in the sewage treatment process, the solid particles suspended in the water can be removed to improve the quality of the effluent.
3. Automated operation: Modern decanter centrifuges use automated programming control to achieve continuous feeding, separation, washing and unloading under full speed operation, which greatly improves work efficiency and stability.
4. Environmental benefits: Decanter centrifuges are also widely used in environmental protection, and by reducing the moisture content of the sludge, the volume and weight of the sludge can be significantly reduced, and the transportation and disposal costs can be reduced. At the same time, improving effluent quality also helps to protect the water environment.
Decanter centrifuges play an important role in water treatment plants. Through reasonable selection and correct operation and maintenance, it can give full play to its efficient and stable separation performance, and provide a strong guarantee for the operation of the water treatment plant.
