Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment: Modelling And Resources Recovery, Wenjuan Mu

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) process is gaining momentum for carbon redirection, thereby lowering the downstream liquid train load and maximizing energy recovery from the primary sludge. CEPT technique enhances coagulation and flocculation, that enable faster settling of particulate and colloidal solids and dissolved ions such as phosphate to enhance removal efficiency. Comprehending the dynamic behaviour of CEPT clarifiers is critical to not only develop a reliable whole plant simulation but also fully understand the efficacy of the treatment plant performance. To achieve such purposes, a great amount of efforts has been contributed to the advancement of primary clarifier …
