Abstract
The characterization of sludge settling is important in determining the operating performance of the secondary clarifier and also evaluate the purification efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. Many models have been proposed to explain the activities of settling velocity and illustrating the relationship between settleability characteristics. The aim of this research is to present a model for the settling velocity as a function of the stirred specific volume index at 3.5 g/L SSVI3.5 , based on the Vesilind function, the solids flux theory and the experimental data. Using this model gives an important performance improvement after calibration of the different settleability parameters.
