Sort of out of order considering I was going to post about the steps of wastewater treatment, but I was thinking about liquid solid separation.

Anyway, liquid solid separation seems like a pretty obvious part of wastewater treatment because at its core wastewater treatment is really water filtering. Since many industries and municipalities wind up with sludge or thick yucky wastewater that really isn’t water liquid solid separation looms large.

So after pH adjust if any, and flocculant addition to grab onto the suspended solids, liquid solid separation begins.

What happens at this point is that the solids began to settle out of the watewater. You can use various methods of taking the solids off for dewatering at this stage.

So liquid solid separation is key to efficient wastewater treatment, in many respects it is the core of wastewater treatment.

It’s amazing how logically steps in waste water treatment are named. This is the first post in the Liquid Solids Separation category.

Moving right along, liquid solids separation is…liquid solids separation.

For industrial wastewater treatment, for most industrial wastewaters, this is where superior flocculants can really shine.

Once the solids are settled out into a sludge, the water is removed from the sludge in a process known as, yep, you guessed it, sludge dewatering.
