WATER TREATING APPARATUS DUE TO FLOCCULATION AND/OR PRESIPITATION OR SEDIMENTATION OF CRYSTAL AND SLUDGE RECIRCULATION

摘要

An apparatus for the treatment of water to remove colloidal and suspended matter therefrom includes a reaction tank for receiving water to be treated and for forming sludge of flocculated or crystalline precipitated matter contained in the water. A concentrating tank receives the water and sludge from the reaction tank, removes sludge and matter from the water, and concentrates the sludge. A lamella settling tank receives from the concentrating tank the water and removes therefrom by settling remaining sludge and matter. A portion of the sludge from the concentrating tank prior to the maximum concentration thereof is recycled to the reaction tank.
