This powerpoint presentation presents a study on reducing sludge production at the Holland Water Treatment Plant (HWTP), in Holland, Michigan.
The research found that selection
of a proper coagulant in the HWTP could significantly improve the
plant's overall process performance, including effluent quality,
chemical cost, sludge production, filter operation, and
operational control. Among the alternatives tested, alumer best meets the
plant's treatment objectives with respect to effluent
quality, chemical cost, sludge production and filter
operation.
Further process performance improvements are
expected to be achieved by optimizing alum and
polymer feed rates independently (rather than using a
pre-manufactured blend).
