Wastewater treatment hopper plant dwg
A wastewater treatment hopper plant is a facility designed for the treatment and purification of wastewater from various sources; like homes; industries and businesses. the main objective of this plant is to eliminate contaminants present in water so that it can be safely returned to the environment or reused for other purposes. next; a detailed description of its components and operation is presented: main components of a wastewater treatment plant: wastewater treatment hopper: reception hopper: initial storage structure where wastewater is received. designed to retain large solids and allow initial sedimentation. grates and sieves: filter large and medium solids; like plastics; papers and other floating debris. they help protect pumping and subsequent treatment equipment. primary sedimentation tank: allows the sedimentation of heavy suspended solids. it eliminates a large part of the contaminant load before biological processes. biological reactor: uses microorganisms to decompose organic matter present in wastewater. it can be aerobic (with oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen). secondary clarifier: sediments the biological flocs generated in the biological reactor. separates biological sludge from treated water. filters: remove fine particles and other residual contaminants. they can be made of sand; activated carbon or other filter materials. disinfection: eliminates pathogens present in the treated water through processes such as chlorination; ozonation or ultraviolet radiation. sludge hopper: stores the sludge extracted from the sedimentation processes. the sludge can be additionally treated to reduce its volume and stabilize it. control and supervision system: monitors and regulates the different treatment processes. uses automatic sensors and controllers to ensure plant efficiency and safety.
