Primary Treatment systems

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.
