Abstract

A model for predicting the rate of rise or fall of a sludge blanket in an overloaded or underloaded condition is developed from the steady state solids flux theory of clarification. The model was verified with results from a lab-scale clarifier with ferric hydroxide floc. The model allows for more rapid assessment of flux balances than previously possible. Thus, it can be used as a functional on-line tool for clarifier control. Application of the model is extended to cover utility for full-scale clarifiers in the activated sludge process.
