CORRELATIONS BETWEEN FLOC CHARACTERISTICS AND DRAINABILITY PROPERTIES: HOW TO DEFINE A GOOD FLOCCULATION ?
Résumé
Sludge conditioning is a pre-treatment to improve the removal of water during the thickening process with a wide range of commercially available products. Laboratory tests are usually needed to make the selection of a conditioner and its dosage, but mixing control is required during flocculation to obtain quantitative, repeatable and comparable data. A specific device (bootest) was developed to optimize sludge flocculation at lab scale and combines a sludge reactor for flocculation and a drainage cell. Experiments made with this device enabled to propose a " drainability index " , a useful tool to qualify a " good flocculation " for a drainage process.
