Application of Polyhedral Spherical Packing Precipitation Technology in Water Plant Reform

On the basis of micro flocculation interception sedimentation technology, polyhedral spherical packing is used as intercepting material in sedimentation tank. The process utilizes the characteristics of polyhedral sphere to make flocs and water move relatively, and continuously change the direction of water flow to produce turbulent vortices. When water moves in a vorticity, solid particles move relative to the flow along the radial direction under the action of centrifugal inertia force, which provides for the radial collision of particles with different scales along the vortices. Under these conditions, the micro flocs collide and aggregate continuously as they pass through the blades, and the concentration of alum in the water is increased. Finally, the precipitation is removed under the action of gravity. The process is applied to the reconstruction of Miluo New City Waterworks, and the original inclined pipe sedimentation tank is retained and put into operation. The results show that the turbidity of effluent from polyhedral spherical sedimentation tank can reach below 2NTU, while that from inclined tube sedimentation tank is above 2NTU. The treatment effect of polyhedral sphere on low turbidity water is better than that of inclined tube, which provides a reference for the transformation of small and medium-sized water plants in rural areas.
