Waste Water Reclamation Plant Two | Excess Flow

 

Physical Treatment: First Flush Basin (Primary Clarifier)

The 1st flush basin allows most of the solids and grit to settle in the bottom of the tank.

Overflow Clarifiers

The 2nd stage is primary treatment. The water splits between three tanks evenly so any solids which did not settle in the first flush tank have more time to settle out. About 60% of any solids which come in will settle in these tanks.

Chlorine

The third stage is chemical addition. The fouth tank has chlorine injected at the front end and the chlorine kills any remaining germs and disease causing bacteria prior to discharge.
