Liquid-liquid separation and settling tank structure
Thread Content
There are two partitions in the settling tank. The discharge end of the light component must be overflowing, and the one at the feed end serves as a buffer, right? Can I add a baffle to reduce the flow rate?
There are two partitions in the settling tank, which play the role of graded settlement. The one at the feed end also plays a buffering role. At the same time, it requires a certain volume so that the feed can stay in this volume for a period of time for sedimentation and separation. Liquid-liquid separation also requires a certain residence time. If a partition is added to reduce the volume, the residence time of the medium will also be reduced, which will affect the separation effect. So do not add it casually. There is also a settling and separation space between the two partitions. The light phase that overflows after settling from the feed also contains the heavy phase that has not settled completely, and is further separated here. The relatively pure light phase overflows out.
Does anyone have any drawings? I would also like to learn from them.* ha
