Removal of Floatables from Digested Sludge
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 127, Issue 3
Abstract
In connection with the proposed discharge of sludge from Los Angeles Hyperion Treatment Plant, it was realized that if proper precautions were not taken, some problems might develop in respect to the appearance of rubber particles on the ocean surface. Accordingly a research program was instituted to determine the most effective and economical means of insuring removal of floatable fractions before discharge. This paper describes certain laboratory and pilot plant studies and other investigations leading to the final design of a sludge treatment process intended to prevent problems of this nature.
