Primary Treatment systems
Primary treatment systems are vital for the initial removal of larger impurities, solids, oil, grease, and other contaminants from wastewater. These systems help protect downstream equipment, improve the efficiency of subsequent treatment stages, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. At RTW UK, we offer a comprehensive suite of primary treatment technologies tailored to meet diverse industrial and municipal wastewater treatment needs.
Screening Systems
Screening serves as the first step in primary treatment, focusing on the removal of coarse solids and debris that may damage downstream equipment or hinder treatment efficiency.
Bar Screens
Functionality
Removes large debris such as plastics, rags, and stones.
Applications
Suitable for high-flow industrial and municipal wastewater systems.
Advanced Options
Can include self-cleaning mechanisms for reduced maintenance.
Self-Cleaning Screens
Benefits
Operates continuously without manual cleaning, ensuring consistent performance.
Energy Efficiency
Requires minimal power for operation.
Compact Design
Ideal for facilities with limited space.
Static Screens
Efficiency
Captures fine particles and suspended solids effectively.
Versatility
Commonly used in industries such as textiles, food processing, and paper manufacturing.
Cost-Effective
Simple design with minimal maintenance requirements.
Coagulation and Electrocoagulation
Effective coagulation plays a pivotal role in primary treatment by destabilizing suspended particles and promoting their agglomeration for easier removal.
Coagulation
Chemical Coagulation
Uses coagulants like alum or ferric chloride to bind impurities, forming larger flocs that settle or float for removal.
Flexible Application
Suitable for a wide range of wastewater compositions.
Electrocoagulation
Innovative Technology
Employs electrical current to release metal ions, promoting the formation of flocs without the need for chemical coagulants.
Eco-Friendly
Reduces chemical usage and sludge volume.
Applications
Particularly effective for industrial effluents containing oil, grease, and heavy metals.
Clarification Systems
Clarification systems are essential in separating settleable and floatable solids from wastewater, ensuring optimal pre-treatment before secondary or advanced processes.
Primary Clarifiers
Role
Gravity-based systems that allow heavier solids to settle at the bottom of a tank while lighter materials float to the surface.
Versatility
Can be used in industrial and municipal applications.
Sludge Management
Equipped with mechanisms for efficient sludge removal and handling.
Lamella Settlers
Compact Design
Incorporates inclined plates to enhance settling efficiency while occupying less space.
High Throughput
Capable of treating large volumes of wastewater in a small footprint.
Applications
Common in high-solid-content industries like mining, chemicals, and paper manufacturing.
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)
Function
Uses microbubbles to attach to suspended particles, oils, and grease, causing them to float to the surface for removal.
Round DAF Systems
Ensures uniform flow and bubble distribution, ideal for challenging effluents.
Square DAF Systems
Offers scalability and adaptability to large-scale operations.
Sludge Scrapers
Integrated systems for efficient sludge handling and disposal.
