Study on Adjustable Head Fall Mixer with Grids

Article Preview

Abstract:

The performance of adjustable head fall mixer is studied in a pilot experiment. Experimental results indicate that the dispersal efficiency increases with the space between grids and mixing pipe, which could be up to 96%. When the flow rate increases more than 31%, the dispersal efficiency decreases a little but still above 96%. It is demonstrated that special coagulant injection head makes significant contribution to improving the mixer efficiency. The almost same turbidity of sedimentation effluent could be achieved with less coagulant, thus 30% chemical can be saved. Dissolved oxygen increases 2.5 mg/L in the mixing unit, which will benefit the following processes.
