| Sionix System At-A-Glance |
||
|
|
||
| How water is treated using a Sionix DAF system: |
||
| 1. |
Influent Water enters Sionix DAF-225 System. The influent water is monitored for any variation in its normal characteristics, such as its pH, color, turbidity and many other possible traits. |
|
| 2. |
Evaluation pH, Turbidity, other etc.
Characteristics of the influent water are determined by the control
system. |
|
| 3. |
Chemical Addition. The proper combination of chemicals required to treat the influent water is then injected into the stream at the inline rapid mixer. |
|
| 4. |
Rapid
Mix. This mixer is static and relies on the fluid movement to
cause mixing of the chemicals and suspended particles. |
|
| 5. |
Coagulation/Flocculation.
The next step in the process is to form a floc, a combination of coagulated
contaminates, that can be removed from the stream with the micro bubbles.
|
|
| 6. |
Dissolved
Air Injection. Micro bubbles are formed when high pressure water
that is saturated with air is injected into the contact area of the
DAF tank. |
|
| 7. |
Bubble
flock contact. Bubble flock contact causes the buoyancy of the
flock to increase, the resultant flock bubble combination travels to
the surface forming a sludge float. |
|
| 8. |
Flock
Separation / Float Formation. The separation area of the DAF
tank allows all the flock bubble combination to float to the surface
for removal. |
|
| 9. |
Float
Removal and waste control. Skimming of the sludge float to the
waste removal drain results in the removal of heavy waste. |
|
| 10. |
DAF
effluent monitoring. DAF effluent monitoring insures the consistent
performance of the DAF clarifiers function. |
|
| 11. |
Filtration.
The effluent of the DAF separation area is then filtered through a high
pressure permanent media filter system with automatic back-flush. This
step removes all remaining solid materials in the water stream. |
|
| 12. |
UV
treatment (disinfecting). The filter output finally is exposed
to UV (ultra violet) light rendering the final barrier to any pathogens
remaining. |
|
| 13. |
Effluent
Monitoring. Effluent monitoring reports on the final quality
of the processed water. |
|
| 14. |
Discharge
to storage and/or distribution. The processed water is now ready
for storage and/or distribution. |
