Thickeners may increase the solids concentration by a factor of 2 to 5 and produce a clarified liquid effluent. Thickening is accomplished by either gravity or dissolved-air flotation. A gravity thickener is shown in Fig. 12, and the operation of a dissolved-air flotation unit is similar to that described for pretreatment.

In order to reduce the cost of handling this material, it is desirable to reduce the moisture content, and thereby the volume, to a minimum as soon as practicable. To this end, “gravity-thickeners” are often …

The primary function of a clarifier is to produce a clear or solids-free liquid, rather than a concentrate. The visual differences between a clarifier and thickener are subtle. They however differ primarily through their function, with thickeners used for the production of …

Operational adjustments to full-scale thickeners are usually limited to the speed and periodicity of the float scrapers which, in turn, directly influence the effective drainage time of liquid from the floating sludge mass.

This technology offers, in most cases, advantages over settling, filtration, precipitation, or adsorption onto natural and synthetic adsorbents.

Air flow was found to be influenced by the presence of an aqueous patch of high viscosity or suppressed surface tension in the aquifer.
