    lamellar settling sludge thickening


    drinking water, urban wastewater
    industrial water, rainwater

    an efficient separation process with


    multiple applications and advantages

    a proven technology
    that meets the environmental
    standards for all types of effluents

    a compact process
    that combines rapid commissioning
    and flexible operation

    the Densadeg® is a system that combines rapid


    physical-chemical settling and sludge pre-
    treatment through thickening
    the Densadeg® is a physical-chemical settling tank (optimised flocculation) using
    external sludge recirculation. It combines the principle of lamellar settling with an
    integrated thickener.

    a recognised expertise in lamellar settling with the Densadeg® installed in over 600
    treatment plants.

    The grit removal and degreasing stages can also be performed within the
    Densadeg® (this applies to the wastewater treatment applications).

    the Densadeg® is a compact system developed in the 1980’s which


    includes stages of coagulation / flocculation, water clarification
    (lamellar zone) and settling / thickening of sludge.
    how it works

    5 treated
    2 3 4 water

    excess sludge
    sludge recirculation

    a process that includes 4 functions : The sloping lamellae, which are configured in a honeycomb pattern, act
    like a refining stage, trapping the lighter less dense solids which have not
    coagulation : settled. The uniform speeds at which they go through prevent any sludge
    going back up : the clarified water has the same quality over the entire
    the raw water enters a flash mix zone 1 where a coagulant is added, causing recovery area.
    agglomeration of the colloidal particles.
    thickening and densification of sludge :
    flocculation :
    the settled sludge is progressively thickened at the bottom of the settling
    in a second zone 2 , the coagulated water is brought into contact with a tank using a floor scraper and picket fence 6 . Thanks to the density
    flocculating agent and the thickened, recirculated sludge coming from the of the flocs, the thickening is very rapid and superior to those obtained
    settling/thickening zone. The recirculated sludge accelerates the flocculation from other solids contact settlers. A part of the thickened sludge is
    process and insures a dense and homogeneous floc. recycleduuu7 towards the coagulation zone and the surplus is periodically
    evacuated. 8
    The transition to the settling stage is done via a piston reactor 3 with an
    upward current in which the flocculation continues.

    clarification / settling :
    in this zone 4 , due to their size and particularly their density, the flocs settle
    at the bot-tom of the settling tank. The clarified water is separated from the
    descending sludge and goes back up through the lamellar modules . 5

    Example of a Densadeg® configuration including the grit removal and degreasing functions.
    the Densadeg® treats all types of water
    urban wastewater : industrial wastewater :
    primary physical-chemical settling (removal of suspended solids and colloids process water, softening, reduction of silica, metals precipitation, washed
    - reduction of BOD and COD - to some extent), sludge thickening, tertiary effluents from thermal power plant smoke (Flue Gas Desulfurization – FGD), sludge
    treatment (removal of phosphorous and residual suspended solids). thickening, tertiary treatment (phosphorous and residual suspended solids).

    rainwater : drinking water :


    primary settling of water from a combined or separate network. clarification (removal of suspended solids, colloids, colour, micro-algae etc.),
    carbonate removal (softening), reduction of organic matter, treatment of filter
    and membrane (microfiltration or ultrafiltration) whashwater.

    what it can do for you


    efficient treatment for multiple
    applications
    (drinking water, domestic and industrial wastewater)

    no additional sludge thickening


    equipment before dehydration
    (the sludge from the Densadeg® > 30g.L-1)

    fast and easy operation even when there


    is a great variation in flows and / or load

    no abrasive ballasting material


    to be handled, removed or replaced

    flexible fitting option :


    can be tailored to every plant size

    compactness of the equipment


    due to its modular and lamellar design
    which combines together the functions of settling, sludge
    densification and grit removal / degreasing : 8 to 10 times
    smaller footprint than a traditional settling unit.
    easily installed on site
    (modular aspect)

    no environmental constraints
    (very little or no odour, no noise, small footprint)
    Densadeg® steel structure

    concrete Densadeg® units


    main features of the Densadeg®
    Speed of lamellar settling from 15 to 100 m.h-1 depending on the application ;
    More through treatment of Suspended Solids (SS), BOD and phosphorous (< 1 mg.L-1) ;
    Withstands significant hydraulic variations ;
    Volume of sludge one tenth of what it is for ballasted floc systems ;
    Optimal use of chemical products ;
    Very rapid (15 to 30 min) and automated commissioning, which means various different
    applications using the same equipment (primary or tertiary treatment, for example) ;
    Flexible in terms of use, and not very sensitive to changes in the quality and flow of raw
    water, since the concentration in the flocculation zone depends mainly on the recirculation of
    thickened sludge and few flocculated suspended solids from the incoming water ;
    Automatic control of the start-up, shut off and sludge management functions ;
    Simplified reduced implementation with pre-sized lines of units ;
    Steel tanks or concrete units.
