lon Exchenge (India) Lid, pioneers ond leaders in tolol water and environment solutions for over four decades, ofers you the INDION Ultra High Rate Clarifier (UHRC). The INDION UHRC is a compact, efficient and low cost clarifier for clarification of surface water and waste water. The UHRC design combines the technologies of the solids contact clarifier end the lamella clarifier, offering the advantages of both, with enhanced performance at increased rise rate, ‘The INDION UHRC unit is o true solids contact lrifier that combines mixing, floccvlotion and sedimentation in a single basin, Raw water and chemicals mix with previously formed sludge and then poss through distinct zones within the basin for reaction, flocculation, separation, sludge removal and clarification. All occur in a single treaiment basin for maximum treated woter production in minimal space, making the INDION UHRC the best choice among solids contact clorifiers Applications * Clarification of surface water ‘+ Lime soda softening + Removal of colloidal slice * Colour removal + Removal of i n & manganese Process Parameters ‘+ Handles high inlet suspended solids load Upto 3000 ppm while giving consistent treated water quality of < 20 ppm. + Wide flow rate and size range ~ flow rates os high as 2500 m3/h and sizes os large as 20m x 20m ‘+ Rise rates ore higher than conventional clarifiers cond, depending on the type of application, can be os high as 10-12 m/h + Sludge concentrations upto 4 ~ 5% are achieved depending on the epplication. separation, sludge removal and clarification occur in @ single treatment bosin Reaction, flocculation, Features Advantages Combined technology | Improved performance ot of solid contact clarifier | very high flow rates. | and inclined plate dlorifier.

Reduces the overall sizes of equipment, end hence the cost. Better outlet quality Entire bottom of UHRC Unit is used for settling ‘and collection of dense precipitotes. Effective solid handling ‘end sludge removal ‘Moximum consistency of sludge Thickening pickets concentrate the settled sludge, which is then removed os highly concentrated slurry. Minimum omount of wate lost through sludge ‘lowdown Maximum solids concentretion for subsequent dewatering,Principle of Operation Mixing Zone: Raw water and chemicals are intimately mixed in the draft tube in the presence of previously formed sludge re-circulated trom the bottom of the bosin. A high efficiency impeller re-circulotes the sludge ino the reaction-flocculation zone Reaction-Flocculetion Zone: The reaction-locculation zone, also called detention hood, receives the total mixed flow from the mixing zone. Flocculation is occelerated here by the infimate contact between reacting chemicals and re-circulating precipitated solids on which the newly forming material is deposited Part of the flow, equal to the raw water rote, is then discharged into the seperation (clarification) zone, end the remaining flow is re-circulated into the mixing zone. Clarification Zone: The forge area under the edge of the Detention Hood ensures even distribution and low velocity entrance to the clarification zone. The water enters the outer clarification zone with dense and bigger size of particles, which settle ropidly. The setting area of the clarification zone is greotly enhanced by inclined lamella plates installed near its top surface, ultimately reducing the unit size, handling more flow and giving better quality. The overflow from the clarification zone is collected from both sides of the plates through adjustoble overfiow weirs. This ensures equal distribution of flow among the plates and eliminates uneven loading. Sludge Removel and Re-circulation: A portion of the sludge in the re-circulation settles to the bottom of the basin. This setiled sludge is moved to the centre of the basin by a slowly rotating scraper. The scraped sludge {alls info the sludge hopper where sludge thickening pickets concentrate the sludge and reduce the Blowdown The sludge is avtometically or manually removed at regular intervals. The remainder of the sludge is re-circuloted through the droft tube ond used fo increase the solids content in the flocculation zone and enhance floc formation.
